This is why most garages don't let you drive your own car in:

*snipping clichés*

Yeah, and men never do crazy stuff on the road.  Have you seen Court TV's
"Most Shocking Video" chases and other crimes?

Mostly men.

:-P

I know, It's just funnier when a woman does it (esp parallel parking...)

I'm a good driver, except I can't parallel park worth sh*t.  No matter how
many guidelines/reference points are given to me to succeed at that
perticular skill, I'm crappy at it. Thank goodness, it's rarely needed
around here.

However, the one time I did manage to parallel park absolutely perfectly
was... during my road test.  If there's a time to do it well, that's it. ;-)

Phoenix is even better, with about twice the number of parking spaces
per car than even Los Angeles has.  Also the parallel parking part of
the Arizona driver's test is done with a space about 6-8' longer than
a 1970s Cadillac, or long enough that I was able to go head-in with my
little car.  The inspector said I had to redo it the normal way.

LOL - as if he was going to let you 'cheat'!  Nice try... no dice.

Phoenix is unusually generous with everything related to driving.  No wonder
the insurance rates are so freaking high.  My son admitted he shouldn't have
been allowed to get his driver's license so easily.  They also let you keep
the same license till you're *65!*  Ridiculous.

Do they at least have phased-in licensing for teens?

There used to be a woman from ND on another ng I frequent.  Kids there can
get a driving license at 14.  Ackkk!

Nope.  He got it at age 16, no problem.

Yeah, but... what I meant was: were there restrictions at that point?  No
night driving; if passengers, then restricted re: how many could be a
non-adult, etc?

Once again - NO.  He had full operator.

I think it expired before age 65, though.  He now has a Florida license, so
I don't remember.

Thanks for the clarification; when you said "No problem", I thought you just
meant that the test was easy to pass.

It WAS.  He didn't even have to parallel park.  I think the reviewer just
wanted to get home that day, since it took less than 10 minutes.

:-P
