How do you do with parallel parking?
Never had an issue with it. My driving instructor in high school (old WWII radio op) taught us a foolproof method and so far it hasn't failed me yet.
Then you didn't take the test on a course behind an MV inspection station. I never had a problem on the street where cars are easily seen but on the course you're expected to park between two traffic cones. The one behind is too short to be seen and even in a side mirror it disappears in a blind spot, I ran it over.
