     @georgetakei No, the worst part is when you parallel park and you get it perfectly, but no one sees it.

     @georgetakei My grandad taught me to drive a tractor when I was about 10. He made me learn reverse first, the idea being you have to actually learn where your tires are going. Parallel parking was never even a slight challenge, since it's just driving backwards. Most people aren't very good at reversing.

     If someone struggles with it, there's no shame in practicing driving backwards in an empty parking lot or something. Learn to feel how the front end pivots around the rear.
