Known as lowering the bar. Who needs help also are those who try to back into parking spaces.

Seriously? It’s not that hard people

This parallel traumatised me during my driving test since I mistakenly choose manual😂😂

2nd theory: sponsored by cities who want to give tickets for not being close enough to curbs

Sponsored by insurance companies?

This needs to be done! We have some of the stupidest people on earth right here in the United States. We can’t let them all walk can we. 😂😂😂😂

“Too bad”? You do understand that being good at it still benefits someone, right? We didn’t learn to do it to pass a test. We did it so we could parallel park. How you people can justify a paywall is beyond comprehension.

Dummy down. America.

It’s not hard, just lazy kids and parents not teaching their lazy kids. It’s EASY!

Wow. If you can't parallel park you shouldn't be driving.

The continuing “dumbing down” of the culture...many cars will now parallel park themselves. What’s next, eliminating the three point (k) turn? It seems they must have dropped using directional signals 🤔

If you can’t learn how to parallel park maybe you should go jump off a cliff. At least don’t drive at all and don’t procreate.

The lack of Hand-Eye-Foot coordination is more prevalent than ever, by TEXT-distracted drivers/killers. Don't expect them them to know how to Parallel park. That skill requires TWO hands!!!

Because there is too much 'driving competence' on the road and the process needs to be 'dumbed down'? Correct?

I failed it twice on my test! The State Poluce Officer took pity on me the second time and let me get my license. I still can’t do it. Lol

Dropping it? How stupid!!!!!

One more example that if everyone can’t pass the test then drop the test instead of improving the people. It’s becoming the new way 😥

There's an art to it & maybe US driving tests are weak. I remember mine in Virginia years ago was pathetic. I past but failed my British test dismally.

Bewickwren You can drop it from the test in Seattle, but you're gonna have to do it.

Standards in schools also eliminated to make it easier

Sissies.

Then they might as well drop the whole test

Too stupid for words.

Sure, it’s too hard to learn, just lower the bar 🤦‍♂️

They’ll all heed to get Smaht Pahk.

How do you park in Manhattan otherwise?

aintnokiddo my baby is a driving prodigy 😊

Oh good, another area in which we're lowering the bar.

If you're asking this question dont drive!!!

Typical

When I lived in NYC I could get a twelve foot car into a ten foot space. It was a survival skill lost the moment I moved to a small city in the intermountain West.

I remember my driving instructor teaching me his simple 4-step process for parallel parking. Still works perfectly to this day. Had a co-worker tell me one day, 'My god, that's the best parallel parking I've ever seen anyone do!'

how can a nation survive when it continually lowers its standards?

I've never had to parallel park 🤷‍♀️if you live in surburbia it's just not necessary

🤔

People are just getting dumber

Idiocracy

The continuing decline of western civilization. Right here.

Too sad, bec one will need to parallel park at any time in life. I can visualize the bumping, and the problems.

Lol And lining up mirrors doesn’t even help!

Shouldn’t be allowed to drive if you can’t parallel park without hitting other cars!

Fake newser

If you can't parallel park, you shouldn't even be driving.

Are also dropping proper identification to acquire driver's license hence the real ID and enhanced license requirements to board domestic travel planes

Is parking your car into a tree part of the test? Cuz I'm really good at that.

Parallel parking in Philadelphia is a major pain

Great! More spaces on the streets for those of us with spatial awareness.

We need to take a page out of Grandma & Grandpa’s playbook and get back to teaching THE BASICS!

Dumming down of America

FFS, it’s about time. There are other spots to park in y’all. This is not a deal breaker.

The dumbing down of America continues.

I say good. I hate parallel parking. 🙂

Oh, this going to be so painful to be stuck behind...

People are concerned that you fat cats will once again grab their money, 401ks, etc., and rake-over the average Joe. Should I urge everyone to bail out now before this gets worse, because it will get worse.

Now they should test for driving in left lane below speed limit and use of blinker.

Good news for a young ladies, parallel parking was a big deal for them, though!
