Is this a UK driving test you're talking about? It doesnt sound so 
much like the one i took here in South Carolina, USA. Sure, parallel 
parking was involved (between  big barrels) and we had to reverse 
100 feet but around a corner? Who would do that in an every day 
driving situation anyway? Ever? LOL

I did pass my first time at 15 but only just. 69 being failing, I 
scored a 70. One poor girl was there for her 7th try. Im hoping they 
just gave her a permanent bus pass.
