Thread: Parallel Parking.

Parallel parking is annoying. Not annoying enough to kill someone over though..

"Alright, now you're gonna see some parallel parking. How I wish you could make a living parallel parking. It's all geometry, knowing all the angles, when to make that first turn and then when to swing it back in,
that's the key".

geogre, can't stand ya! great quote WVV

Wow.. That girl is never going to be able to drive again. I don't mean she'd be banned or anything, but the pyschological trauma of killing her mother is going to be forever linked with driving, or parallel parking in particular.

Here's hoping she can come to terms with what's happened.

My dad stays outside of the car when I parallel park. Not if Im parking between cars, but if he sets up cones or something, he stands outside and watches. It's not like it's that big of a deal to have a non licensed driver move the car 6 feet to the right and 12 feet backwards. I have some trouble parallel parking. I'm perfect in the cones, but I think I get worried and rushed when I'm parking on the streets.

Fortunately for me, you're allowed to fail one portion of the test, but at the DMV road course it's between cones, I go for my test next week :smile:

If you don't pass, make sure to hide the body before you request a retake.

Good news, no bodies to hide.

But I did have a hell of a day at the DMV, the guy who gave me the road test sounded like a jamaican Jabba the Hut, and the woman who I had to give my 6 points of identification to, violently waved a pamphlet in my face because I only had 5 points of ID, because I didn't bring a schedule or a report card to prove that my school ID is valid. So I had to go home to get a report card, in August, I don't think about a report card until the beginning of November when we get the first one. So I came back and completely cut the line and talked to a different woman who wasn't there earlier, and I said I was told to bring this with me, and all this lady looked at was my report card, and told me I could do better in math
seriously. She then signed my form and told me where to go to get the actual license.

But at least I got it, too bad that in NJ they have the GDL system, so I don't have a full drivers license until next year
:-\ .

LOL!
Prophet you crack me up with some of those comments man.

I always was good at parallel parking. If the spot is as long as the car, I'm in the spot. Sometimes if it's a tight spot I have to wiggle a couple of times.
;D



Have fun with that one Cajun! ;D
