My parents insisted I learn on a manual, and while I didn't appreciate it at the time, I do now.

The regional DMV office where I took my driving exam had the most notorious parallel parking setup in the state. It was two traffic cones next to a very large, 3 1/2 foot diameter log (representing the curb) and was on the side of a circular cul-de-sac. So not only did you have to account for the curvature, if you got too close to the "curb", you were gonna have a very bad day lol.

If you're wondering: I nailed it (they let you practice after hours which helped).

What's wrong with just driving through the nearby streets and searching for a fitting spot for parking?

If you don't have control over the finer movements of your car, parallel park is a pretty good way to weed it out. And if they don't, you're gonna fuck up harder in a place that actually matters.

Fuck up when it doesn't matter so you don't fuck up when it matters.
