I > managed to get it in the space anyway ;-) 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. robert PS: I also didn't have power steering, but the car was a Honda Civic ;-)
