“You do not have to parallel park any longer to pass a driver’s test.”

I’ve always thought that was silly anyways,but it’s still required in MA.(I think)

Nonsense. Parallel parking is important. If you cannot control your vehicle at less than walking speed you shouldn’t be driving. I frequently encounter drivers on a one lane road who are unable to back up or pull to the side as they have no idea where their wheels are. Parallel parking helps you learn where your wheels are in relation to the driver’s seat and the road surface. I can crush a soda can with any of my wheels going in any direction.
