My birthday is on 9/22, and i get my license on 9/23. I can't wait!! Im taking the test in my 1994 Camry. I can do everything, but i'm still worried about parallel parking.

 

Congrats. It is easier than you think...just ask me, I'll tell ya. Good luck!

How hard is it to parallel park?

 

Not hard. Just go out and practice with someone who knows how. Biggest thing is don't hit anything (curbs other cars, etc.) I believe when I had to parallel park they did it in an area where there were no cars parked along the road.

Yeah, its really easy bro. I did it in my supercab ranger back when I had that, not very BIG compared to most trucks, but a heck of a lot harder to park than a little car, and even then it was super easy.

Just make sure you practice with someone and don't get all worried about it, you'll do fine.

 

When I got my license, I got there about 5 minutes before they closed (not on purpose). They asked my dad if I could drive, he said yes, and they took my picture and gave me my license. That was probably the easiest drivers test in history.

And THAT is why people on the sidewalk look like your avatar when you drive by.

I took my test back in August and I didn't have to parallel park. All I had to do was drive around the block and do the maneuverability test.

 

When I took my test I had points taken off for yielding my right of way on a left turn. meh

I also took the test in a 5spd escort.

 

As Matt mentioned, it's really not that difficult.
Here is a short video clip that does a good job of demonstrating the basic technique.

Best of luck

 

haha, I told my mom that she needed to find someone with a Mini Cooper, so I could use it on my drivers test.

 

Good for you. They are sure giving me the run around. I might have by the time I'm 20. When I took the test I fialed parralell parking as well (too far from the curb) not sure what state your in. In Minn it is not pass or fail. (well in a way I suppose it is) For each thing you do wrong the examiner takes away so many points (at his/her discretion) If you have above a certian number of points left at the end of the test you pass. I took a mini-van for the test.

 

I Passed!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Congratulations. Now, don't get any speeding tickets or accidents.

hope the video clip helped.
