You just want to dumb-down the driving test so that any dummy who is fed up with riding his bicycle can just knock off a simple, multiple-guess written test, then get into a Buick and hit the road just like us Real Drivers(tm). I think that not only should Parallel Parking be a requirement on the road test for a driver's license, but Parallel Parking Proficiency should be demonstrated at a rate of at least 12 Parallel Parkings per hour (pph). After all, if you cannot Parallel Park time after time, in a variety of driving conditions, then you cannot expect to be able to operate a motor vehicle successfully in the typical urban driving environment. I hold a Class B Commercial Driver's License, and to pass my road test, I had to parallel park a 30-foot long bus. I passed my test on the first attempt, with a perfect score. Any driver who can't park at least as well as I can is nothing more than a lazy, unmotivated, dumbed-down whiner who wants the world handed over to him or her on a silver platter, since all they have to do is parallel park a Dodge Neon or something similar. Of course, now that Toyota has eliminated the need for most drivers to parallel park, they'll probably be sending PRM's to the DOT and, with enough whining, will get the Parallel Parking test reduced or eliminated in the next "restructuring" of the driver's test. I'm going to start a new organisation called PHISTS -- Parking Has Important Status To Safety. We will encourage the use of Parallel Parking by sponsoring awards programs for drivers who participate in local parallel parking demonstration events. Attending 100 such events will earn you your PHISTS Century Award. Other awards programs will be announced in the future. As far as I'm concerned, you NPTI/NPPTA whiners can go fly a kite. You will never achieve the status of us Parallel Parking Tested drivers. We're better than you, and we can prove it! You couldn't park a Prius on a football field! 73 de Larry, CDL-B Good one, hang in there Larry. |
