The one that made me nervous was parallel parking test. I'm sure everyone else who ever took that test can relate. The key for her success is to know where her tires are. Have her get in the car and visualize where they are in relation to the curb. Of course drivers always need to be aware of the size and dimensions of the vehicle in relation to everything else around them, but a lot of them don't, so we have accidents. I have a confession to make. When I first started driving I was so consumed with staying in my lane, I didn't spend much time looking ahead or at my surroundings, and instead was focused on the middle line of the road. One day I was driving with a boyfriend and he made me aware of that fact. Only thing he ever gave me that had any worth............he was such a jerk. gg I had an excellent instructor in high school, but he failed to make mention of that while he was teaching me how to drive. It's so true that just one little bit of information here and there can make all the difference. While I was taking instructions, all of my freeway driving was done on I-405. It sure was a lot less crowded back then. they have a stupid test that is to simulate backing out of an alley. You are supposed to back up in a 90 degree turn and keep within 12" of the curb. IMO most vehicles don't have that tight a turn radius)
