I've seen this trend where if the tests are too hard, instead of wanting to fail more people, they neuter the tests. Not just in parking but other activities too.  |
I remember taking driver's ed (after already having been taught first on a stick) and having the instructor tell me that I didn't really have to have just parallel parked it. Then he proceeded to tell me that he didn't even know how to do it.
That was the moment I realized just why I hate driving: The other people on the road don't know how to drive, let alone park. But when the instructors themselves don't know how to handle a car properly it's a sign that the whole system needs an overhaul.
edit- slimsam1, that is awesome. I feel like printing off a bunch of those to keep in my car.
