Can I be penalized if I use auto parking assist when testing how to park?
I've been practicing entering a parking bay in a Tesla Model 3. The auto parking feature is usually activated when the car detects that I am attempting to park. I always check my shoulders and use my mirrors before parking. However, I'm worried that I'll be disqualified if it engages automatically on my test. Is it possible for me to disable auto park before my exam?Asked 3 months ago
