Are there any DMV's in the Phoenix, AZ area that don't do parallel parking?

Question

I am going for my driving test soon and after 11 months of practicing, I am still not very good at parallel parking. I have heard from some that there is a DMV in the Phoenix area that does not do parallel parking on the test. Does anyone know if this is true and if so where is it?

Answer 2

The State DMV issues all requirements for the driving test. The individual offices must all give the same test. Some States have now gone to the "maneuverability test" instead. It's a shame since there is still street parking and these people cannot do the procedure.

Answer 3

how does the DMV  Building parallel park itself? (I would love

to see a DMV BUILDING parallel park-

that would be a sight to see!

dont you mean you want to find a license examiner that

doesnt do parallel parking?

Answer 4

Parallel parking is sometimes an absolute necessity.  Some states substitute a mobility demonstration, which involves the same basic manoeuvres, but no state will certify you as a driver if you can't perform a backwards turning manoeuvre, which is what is involved in parallel parking.  It only take a short while to master the manoeuvre, you just need the right technique.

Also be aware, there is nobody, I mean nobody on the road in any city or town that doesn't have to parallel park at some point in time.  It could be at a doctor's office, drugstore, police station, whatever.  If you don't know how, the best that happens is you end up on America's Funniest Home Videos.  The worst is you are given a roadside alcohol test because you looked drunk.
