This conundrum suddenly came to me as I was getting over the shock of having a partial life.
We're gonna grab dinner downtown, but it has absolutely horrid traffic around 6, and I'm gonna probably have to squeeze into a parking space.
But I can't park. This probably has to do with the fact that I've only driven by myself a grand total of 3 times since I got my license in November.
Anyone can do angled parking, but the parking garages only have regular, perpendicular spots. Before I got my license, I had a problem with turning too early. Now I have a problem turning too late. Either way, both are a problem. There's probably going to be a line of cars waiting behind me.
Oh well. Nothing like learning on the spot.

I don't like parking either, I'm paranoid about having to be in the center exactly but if there's a chance to pull through to the spot in front of it I take it because it doesn't require any sort of skill.

Meh. I've no problem with it. I do get paranoid about not being in the middle. Of course, I snicker in my car when people can't park for their life.
Oh, and I get angry as hell as well. 3nodding

The only reason I can park a car is because the tiny carport at my house doesn't have a lot of room for errors. xC Oh the many times I've almost knocked a mirror off....
I wish you luck in finding two empty spaces side by side for extra easy parking!

The parking went surprisingly well, but it was still the worst driving experience I ever had. Long story short, I got pulled over by a police car emotion_facepalm
In the car I normally drive, if your lights are off, your dashboard lights are also off. You can't read a thing on your speedometer until you turn your lights on. But in the car I was driving today, those lights automatically turned on, plus I have been way too spoiled by "Auto" lights, so I forgot about them. emotion_facepalm

No worries Ivy. It takes a little bit to get used to having manual lights and parking.
I know it took a while for me to learn to properly parallel park. And I had to relearn how with my smaller car. sweatdrop
The best thing to do with a car is to look at the light stick thingy to see if it's manual or automatic before you start to drive.

Also, make sure you know how sensitive the pedals are because braking in one vehicle can be a lot different than braking in another.
