    The secret here is.

    Use your mirrors, and in many instances, i think you are allowed to stick your head out the window. JUST DO NOT use the cab's rear window.

    The secret is to give yourself room. I was a good 3.5 feet from the curb, supposed to be 18 inches. Know how many points I lost? 2.

    The only time you can stick your head out the window is the alley dock. everyone has different methods. Try going on youtube to see if you can find a instructional video on it.

    That is the stupidest advice I have ever heard.
    sorry.
    But think about it for a minute.
    How fast are you driving ?
