Seriously though, the amount of people that suck at driving but can parallel park is astounding. Real-world driving should be a larger factor in the test. I know when I took my test (1989), they took me on abandoned side streets to test my driving ability.
I just love watching people back up on the highway when they miss their exit, or stopping on an on-ramp getting on the freeway. Some things about driving are fundamental. Parallel parking is not one of them. Handling a vehical at sub-1 MPH proves fuck all as far as whether or not you should be behind the wheel.
