I got my permit when I was 16, but never got my license until I was 21.

And I thought I was the only one. Parallel parking was my downfall, so I waited and waited. I had a job AND a car when I finally got my license and then I moved to a different state and had to take the driving test again all within a couple of months. (I still can't parallel park.)

in arizona they don't make you parallel park any more to get your license like they did when I got mine. to teach my dd that skill, I did this. we have a parking area wide enough for two cars, but the driveway entry is only wide enough for one. I made my dd park in the other space so she had to swerve into and out of her parking spot in the driveway. sometimes the otjer car was there, and sometimes it was not. that's all I did. it taught her the skill of swerving one car width while going forward or backward at low speed. the first time she actually needed to parallel park, I was holding my breath, because she was parking between other people's cars...but she did it perfect.

Parallel parking is tricky. The main reason for me on waiting was a series of accidents -one involving me, one involving a cousin, and one involving a friend all somewhat close together that scared me.

Yay!!! Good job!! I've been driving for two years now and before I started, I didn't want to have anything to do with it, I would just survive with the bus and my bike. When I was on vacation, I tried for my permit on July 9, I failed. I came back home and retook it on July 10 and passed. On December 20, 7 months later, I took the test and got my license first try. Now, I love to drive. Good job for you! Be safe and happy driving. At least warn me when you're coming to my area, so that I won't drive around that day. jk :-)
