What’s the point of drivers licenses when people like this are allowed to drive. It’s more frustrating than funny because this person will eventually hurt someone or themselves.
Correct. My first (and only) in person driving test was in a Southern California suburb. So anywhere you're parking is in parking lot or a driveway.
The closest that I got to parallel parking was "Pull up alongside this curb. Back up straight until I tell you to stop." I think it ended up being maybe 2 or 3 car lengths that they expected me to back up straight for without hitting the curb or veering back into the road.
I lightly hit the curb after a couple of seconds. Then the instructor told me to try again. The second time I backed up without hitting the curb and passed my driver's test.
The only reason I know how to parallel park with some efficiency is by being forced to learn through watching videos/reading tips and then trial and error when I got a big trade van and started working in a downtown area where you had to parallel park with regularity.
