    hi surya,
    I also asked my husband initially. He said go and take a class i took a session for parallel parking with a driving school near my house. They teach u exactly how u should do and meanwhile u can ask them to take u to a driving test to have a look at how strict they are. I personally did that. As far as i experienced, they are all very good. Please dont be afraid. All the best. Be cool!:thumbsup

    Re: abt parallel parking.......

    Surya123,
    it's quite difficult to give you a tip on this and not showing it, but I'll try... This was given by instructor long time ago... :)
    First, your car should be parallel to another car that you're a going to park behind. When you start to park, slowly steer your wheel till the end to the right, continue to move back and look at the mirrors, especially in the mirror IN the car. The point is that the right corner of the car behind your one should be in the middle of the mirror inside the car, then you can slowly steer your wheel to the left side... it's not evident from the first time, but once you get used to it, it's not so hard

    Good Luck!

    thank u vidhya for ur advice......u want me to ask the people who are teaching us...am i right? i mean it is like attending the test once to see how strict they are??? am i right? does it come as our first attempt....... sorry for bothering u....... what i understood is" just go and give a road test simply to test how strict they are? right? .......i can do that but i think we have very few chances of giving road test....what i mean is.....i we fail road test twice......again we have to start from first i think...... again......knowledge test,get the learners permit,then road test.......so i dont want to take a chance......anyways i will see how it goes??? is there any consideration for ladies here...i mean liberal towards ladies as in india?????

    hi surya, sorry u have mistaken what i said. I went with my driving school people to just see how test is conducted. There were other students who were taking the road test from our school. I didnt take the road test before i was very comfortable. I dont think they will be liberal towards ladies as everybody is same while driving whether its gents or ladies. All the best. Go with full confidence and get ur license soon.

    vidhya:thumbsup
