But then again...she took hers in cullman and they are pretty leniant there...you can get by goin 70 in a 45 zone with cops passin you

I can't parallel park worth anything. Luckily, that's one of the things I didn't have to worry about on my test. At the driving school, this was pretty much the only thing I couldn't do well and backing into a parking space. I prefer driving in anyway. Since I live in the county, and not the city, parallel parking isn't necessary to know, which is probably why it's not a requirement for the driving test. We have parking lots for pretty much everywhere; no need to learn it if there's not place to use it. I'm not sure if it's still this way, as I took my test almost 10 years ago.
My father felt that my driving portion was easy. He's from New York too, so, apparently, it's much more strict up there compared to here in Virginia.
