I had a troublesome Triumph Bonneville (and a couple of Ducatis' among
many other bikes) and I mic'd my fingernails to see which fingernail
was the closest

I did my DL in Texas. Got 4 out of 4 points taken off for not
being able to parallel park at all, and 2 out of 2 for not being
able to go backwards in a straight line. The four turns I had to
take were all at 4-way stop intersections, and the examiner told
me later that I should not only stop but also look left and
right. And when taking turns I shouldn't be swerving all over the
intersection.

Then he charged me $16 and gave me my license.

PS: I also didn't have power steering, but the car was a Honda
Civic ;-)

Small Molex pins. The standard ones are .093"

The standard ones are 0.062. The high current ones are 0.093.
