I was good enough at it to pass my driving test, but I am not good at it now. Almost everywhere I go and shop has pull-in parking so my skills have gone.
Maintaining that skill requires constant practice and I've avoided doing it for years, ever since the back turned bad. I can't twist to look through the back window comfortably.
Exactly :) There‘s not many places left where I live that have free parking lots though. The mall is the only place I can think of and I’d rather stab NYE left eyeball ten times with a fork than go into our local mall.
Excellent. I choose parallel parking over lot parking when there is a choice. There usually isn't but there is at my mother's doctor office and I always parallel park there.
I understand that. My husband had family in and around NYC and we visited quite a lot. We always stayed with his aunt/under and five kids in Montclair, NJ. They had a garage full of cars but when we went to the city we walked to the corner and got on a bus that took us to get on the train that took us into the city. I know one can get used to this. I'm just not anxious to have to. I have to admit that I like riding trains unless they are going very fast.
