I only became competent at it again in the past few years. My driving instructor pulled that one too, but of course, that's not the car I'd be testing in. So annoying! I think I could do it not in traffic. I once had to do it on the left here in the US. It was on a one-way little loop intended for parking and turning around. I was all kinds of messed up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on our state's driving test. That part was on the DMV lot, so they could always have it set up. Which wasn't fair - it's harder to see cones than cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the rest have 31, 'cept February which has 28, And leap year brings another date. That is an AABCC pattern, so there is some rhyming going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) the classic version does kinda rhyme, you just have to power through the unwieldy part and hear 'one' and 'alone' as close enough: thirty days hath September april, june and November all the rest have 31 except for February alone which has 28 days clear and 29 each leap year Edited October 5, 2021 by LMD 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 NJ still has parallel parking on the drivers exam. I failed the first time because I was too far from the curb. The second time I very lightly bumped the curb before swinging in and the person testing didn't feel it so I passed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 In an oral tradition, there is no one "classic" version of anything, you know. The only thing clear about leap years is that people have been wrangling with how to finish that rhyme for many generations. How about ...But not in leap year, that's the time, when February's days number 29? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the errand but it absolutely had to be done and there was no where else to put it. These days I'm an expert at finding pull-through spots when I'm in the van.

I had to parallel park on an incline for my driver’s test. I passed on the first try, but I don’t think I’ve ever parallel parked since. I’d rather park far away from destination and walk than parallel park. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 All my kids had to parallel park for their test. One kid lucked out and got the Subaru although he can back up a trailer better than me so I doubt he would have had problems. Everyone else had to do the test in an Excursion. I was proud of parking that Excursion in Banff, Canada which appears to only have spots for compact cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
