My instructor didn't even test me on parallel parking! So I learned all that crap for nothing. Oh well!
You serious?
Now I'm convinced that it really does matter who you get as your driving instructor as to what you do during the test. I didn't get the same instructor this time. I had actually hoped that I'd get someone a little more perky or less serious, and I did! Not that I had any problem with my last driving instructor. She wasn't mean, just a little too serious.
My driving instructor for my last test (the one I passed) made me do almost the exact same test as the last one (same route, same left turn into the same neighborhood, same area to parallel park, etc.), and the only difference was on my approach back towards the DMV, she made me turn right and go down that road, then turn left, go down that road, and another left to go down that road, and then a right to go back to the DMV. That part was just some driving added to the test.
I think you're right...it really does matter who is administering the test. I remember junior year of high school when everyone was getting their license, one of my friends failed because her wheel was slanted a bit during parallel parking. I took the test at the beginning of senior year (yeah, I was a little behind on the driving thing ;-)), and my parallel parking was not good at all...I personally would not have passed myself, but the tester said to continue, so I wasn't going to argue
. The difference was that my friend took her test in the last spot available in the day (3:45-ish), while I took mine in the late-morning/early afternoon (around 11, I think). Maybe the instructors just get cranky throughout the day or something...I know that can happen to me at work.
