> Now I'm confused. Around here, parallel parking is evil and nasty and no one wants to do it ever. So great is the hatred of parallel parking that we put *perpendicular* parking spaces on the side of the road. Though it does kinda suck when big trucks are sticking halfway out into the road.

No one ever parallel parks in Perth. There are the spots for it, but on the rare occasions that I've seen anyone do it properly (Reversing in), everyone gets really annoyed, because the driver is generally holding up traffic. I have not parallel parked since I learned to drive over 10 years ago.

ding"same with reversing around corners, how ridiculous is that?"dong
