Do Americans not get taught this for their test?

It's regional. We learn in driver's education in school, but doesn't mean you had to actually practice it, and school-run drivers ed isn't a requirement to get a license (e.g. you can immigrate here as an adult having never taken the class). When taking the in-car license test it's up to the local office and specific test administrator to decide what to ask you to do, and if you live someplace where there's no real need to parallel park, they probably won't ask you to try. My brother ran a drat red light in his test and still passed.

I took the test twice, about 9 years apart in 2 different cities in California for reasons, and wasn't asked to parallel park either time. Which is a shame because I'd have fuckin nailed it.

Parallel parking isn't so bad, you just have to get it mostly right. Nobody cares if your tires aren't like, 2 inches from the curb. This summer I've parked in a few different cities, and Boston is the only one where I know to just give up and find a garage kinda near where I want to go and pay like $20 an hour or some poo poo. Boston is a hellscape for non-crime reasons

Found this online years ago and it's still the simplest guide I've ever seen for parallel parking.



Oh I can parallel park just fine, it's a fear of finding parking and then having to park fast enough to not inconvenience someone and also have it be close enough to where I need to be.

You know actually I just hate driving in cities. I really only ever have to do it in Denver though.

Turning to full lock while stationary? RIP your tyres

Do you also leave your car running because it takes more gas to start it than it does to run it?

We were at a friend's place and I mentioned Deedee Megadoodoo and they didn't know what I was referencing, so I whipped out my phone and pulled up the video. Watching people experience Deedee Megadoodoo for the first time is as magical as you would expect.

Gonna set one up where the final clue just reads "use the fire door idiot"

One of the rooms was basically this. With like a minute to go we get into the last room, we can see the host on the otherside of the door. Our team is freaking out, grabbing everything not nailed down looking for clues as the clock is ticking. And yeah, the final door was just unlocked and ready for people to walk through ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We figured it out before the timer ran out. I do wonder how many times teams have gotten to that last room only to be stumped by an unlocked door while looking for clues/keys that don't exist :v:

As a Boston resident I have had a few times where I'd parallel park my car within 2 feet of an out-of-towner's and they would flip out like I imprisoned their car forever

Also getting some schadenfreude from the poster who couldn't figure out the T and drove instead
