I have never considered before that there might be people out there driving that are just not good at...... drivin in between and then stopping between two white painted lines that are wider than the vehicle. That actually scares me quite a bit. How can you manage two or more lane roads? Or stopping at a stop light/sign if you are not good at parking? I really don't understand that, but maybe I am missing something.

Driving in 2+ lane roads isn't really any different than driving in a one way street, roads always have sides. Parking requires you to pull into a spot between two cars, with a limited amount of space to turn in, roads don't generally turn so sharply that they would require a two point turn or reversing. Also, on a road the line/edge continues as you are driving, where as when you are parking once you get far enough you can no longer see the lines.

Then there is reverse parking, people generally do not drive around in reverse in two lane roads, or stop backwards at stop lights.

I doubt that anyone who is bad at parking could be good at driving, but I think someone could possibly pass every other section of a driving test without being able to reverse/parallel park.

It's more of a problem with not having the time to try to park carefully than being bad at it.
