If you have very limited time, it makes sense not to include it. Failing at parallel parking usually just means a low speed collision with another car.

- acdha 3y agoIt also means significant amounts of congestion in urban areas and has ripple effects. I’ve seen more than a few collisions caused by someone trying to get out of the way of a helpless parallel parker. More broadly, though, someone who can’t parallel park effectively can’t handle their vehicle well. That manifests in many other ways.
- nitwit005 3y agoI didn't say it wasn't a problem. What I said was: "If you have very limited time, it makes sense not to include it.". Minor accidents and congestion are not a big deal compared to potentially lethal accidents.
- acdha 3y agoMy position is that you need to make time. Simply passing bad drivers shifts a greater cost to everyone else – the time saved skipping 10 minutes on the test is going to be a fraction of what that driver costs everyone else the first time they drive downtown.
