How much parallel parking to they do in Texas?
If you're me, not so much. It limited my parking options downtown.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Apparently, to get a Washington State driver's license, I will need to prove that I can parallel park.
Dude. To get an Illinois driver's license, all I had to do was provide ten million pieces of documentation and then take a multiple choice test.
In retrospect, it was easier and far less stressful than landing my current job.

I seriously don't know how to parallel park. Hell, I usually park only in pull-through spaces so I don't have to back up either direction.
We have a lot of space where I live.

Really, Dana? I didn't have to take a driving test to get my WA State license! Is your TX one expired or something?

I frequently have to parallel park with as little as 3 inches of space on either side of the car when I'm done. Otherwise I'd be circling my block all night every night. Practice helps!

I never know if I'll be able to parallel park successfully. Some days, I am the master of tiny spaces, and other days I am sailing on the geometry failboat.

Parallel parking is one thing I can kinda do about driving. It's done veeeery slowly and the only car moving is you. Since it's speed and other moving cars that terrify me, I am okay with it.
I didn't even have to take a written test to get a GA license, and the eye exam was ridiculous - 4 big letters. But I had to have a birth certificate to prove I ain't no terrorist.

Aw, my hairstylist had her baby on the 18th. She just sent around pictures. If I didn't know better, I'd think she was related to Plei, because her new daughter has Lilybean-ish eyes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was pretty much my deal with driving, too. However, I have a valid NYS license, thanks to being able to just swap out my old one. A friend of mine just got her first driver's license! It's exciting.

Maybe the website lies. On the other hand, it lists the wait time at the driver's license office, so I forgive it for any mistakes.
I'm pretty sure I have to pass the written test.
