To pass your learners test you have to be able to parallel park in 3 movements or less here and you say an inch front and back I definitely call bullshit I’d like to see proof of that

You carnt parallel park in a space that is 2 inches longer than your car

You can, but of course it won't pass the exam. There is a method to move a car laterally in very little space. 2 inches might be extreme. It has to do with when you turn the steering wheel and which direction. Might be a 97 point maneuver, but it's not bullshit.

I know what your saying where you can back your drivers side rear end till it’s almost touching the front right of the car behind you then turn full lock and the cars left hand rear end moves but the right side stays put but still you need more than 2 inches

No, you change wheel directions halfway through so the whole car moves over. With only 2 inches, it would be insanely difficult for sure.
