Stop worrying about what other people think. The reality is that nobody actually gives a shit, everyone is living in their own version of reality. Think about it. Do you care when some other car does something stupid? What goes through your head when you see it?

And wear some damn shades and/or a hat for fucks sake.

I remember I was trying to parallel park. I had this motherfucker cock block the back to where he was on my tail end. There was traffic too so he couldn't back up. I was so mad I had an episode of road rage. I got out of my car and called him a fucking retard. He's like I'm calling the cops. I told him to do it, spent like 30min arguing and the cop ended up giving him a ticket. Justice never felt so good.

I was trying to parallel park on a sidewalk. Since it was a street, cars come from behind I had my signal light and everything but this guy gets right fucking behind me. So I can't park, I was never so pissed off in my entire life.

I really don't want to get in the habit of stopping ahead of the sign

>>15727030
Creep up, don't stop again because they'll count it as stopping after the sign

>>15727030
Then don't?

Just because he's your father doesn't mean he knows how to drive.

>currently posted in a small European-ish town
>haven't needed to parallel park since drivers test 5 years ago
>nail it first try

Good feel. Though I hit the curb in front of traffic once, which is embarrassing in a Fiesta

>>15727232
Really? Someone I know said her son was failed automatically for not stopping before the sign and instead stopping a little after it. I would assume she meant creeping up a bit past it. So he could have a clear view. The drivers manual says to stop, and if you cannot see to then creep up IIRC.

>>15727280
He knows, but really it is more efficient in a lot of areas here to just stop a little ahead of the sign. I think he's just used to doing it and he thinks I'm going to go without creeping up which I don't do.

>>15726471
>>15726689

Thats the joke

>>15727324

It's one of those things where you just do it so you pass your test, then listen to your father (assuming he's a good driver).

With my dad, ignoring this stop sign example - a lot of what he taught me I picked up after I passed the test and it made me a far better driver than when I passed.

>>15727561

Trust me - just do what the test wads say and get your licence.

Then you can learn and practice what matters.

>>15727791
So should I not make two stops but instead stop, creep, check and go? Instead of stop, creep, stop and go

It is fucking easy. It's a safer way of parking and makes life easier when you want to 360 degrees and leave.

I don't even try since my wheels are so expensive and they have stretched tires, if that wheel were to touch the curb I would be completely fucked.

Even if I have to fuck around straightening up, it beats driving into the bay [spoiler]considering I scraped my left fender the first week I drove the car by not judging the space properly[/spoiler]

Why spagetti meme at serpetine belts squealing? Just needs a replacement right?

>>15727030
Don't worry about creeping up, I did it when on my driving test and only got a point off once. Just do it obviously.

>>15727840
Preferably creeping up. Unless your driving test instructor is a cock, they won't bat an eye.

>>15726320

I have more trouble doing this when I don't have at least one car parked next to my space for reference
