    Oh, well, I didn't parallel park on my driving test either. Which is good, cause I probably would have failed that <,<.

    I do not drive. When I was a teenager, our household didn't have a car (my mother had a DUI and sold the car to attempt to pay off debts) and we walked and took public transport everywhere. When my mother attempted to teach me to drive, she was always drunk, and it ended with her almost crashing and threatening to kill me in the rain. Fun times! Since then, I have relied on public transport, although if I ever want to get "a real American job", I will have to learn how to drive. Until then, I don't really care too much.

    That worked only when I had a male instructor all the others were crotchety women. The dude was in a good mood when he passed me because he had just won the lotto.

    The last time I parallel parked was five and a half years ago. On my driving test.

    Yeah everyone should just avoid parallel parking, it's not worth the trouble.

    I never failed my driving test but on the other hand it was literally half my life ago () so I don't remember any of the details.

    I do remember my drivers' ed teacher showing us this insanely obnoxious music video that was some sort of mega cheesy rap about staying the appropriate distance behind semi trucks. Before he put it on he warned us that he would never forget the tune. He was right.

    I also remember that the first time I got behind the wheel of a car in class there was a major snowstorm raging and I had to dodge a herd of deer.

    Uhhh yeah other than that I enjoy driving and I do own a car. Paid it off a few years ago. It's a Toyota Corolla so hopefully it lasts another ten years.

    I hope that by the time I have to parallel park, I will be in a car that can do it for me.

    I used to have to parallel park four times a day.

    I passed my drivers test but then again the guy giving me the test was my instructor I'd been working with for a few months and he honestly couldn't care less. Although he did actually mark me off points for something so I guess he was paying attention
