I still remember taking mine, my boyfriend (now hubby) brought me. Mostly uneventful compared to your Mom's. That was the first and last time I ever paralled parked though!
I remember taking mine. I drove my folks' Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight. That alone made me nervous because the rear window was so small and the car was a large luxury car. Driving down the street and turning corners was easy, but then I started sweating bullets when the examiner wanted me to parallel park. I passed though! Because we parallel parked along a street where there were hardly any cars.
