Paralell parking test worries

Can you practice some more today?Hows your backing overall?I had parallel during school but when it came to testing out it was straight line and alley dock.Don't know why they teach that.Chances are you'll very rarely have to parallel park.Why don't you ask your school what trk and trl you'll be in tomorrow for the test.

 

The first thing you have to do is get rid of the term parallel parking. As a new driver we all have nightmares about parallel parking. It is left over from our teenage years of drivers ed. What do you do when you parallel park? You move the truck and trailer over on truck width to the left or right. Period. Will you ever have to parallel park in the real world? Rarely. Will you ever have to move the truck one space over? Often.

Image you pull into a door. Number 37. And they come out and ask you to move into door 38. The way you do that is exactly the parallel parking maneuver. You pull straight forward and then angle the back of the trailer toward the far side of the dock and then swing the tractor to line the trailer straight into the dock.

Would you be afraid of the maneuver if they called it the move the trailer to the dock next to the one it is in maneuver. Just relax. If I, a short, fat man pushing 60, with limited intelligence, who has been fired by all the good companies out there, can do this maneuver, you can.

Women do find me sexy. (provided the lights are out).

 

I'm even older than you and the gals find me sexy as well.



If the moneys right..

 

I tell my boyfriend all the time how macho and sexy he looks with his work boots on and driving a big rig.

 

Good luck on the test.
