Do a Ctrl-F and type 'Parking', and search it till you find the bit on street parking. I called the skills tester for my area, and he says it's not parallel parking...but his description was a little vague. Can anyone enlighten me?

I have never had to parallel park in my life.

You live in IDAHO and you're WORRIED about parallel parking? I'm betting that Cour d'Alene has approximately seven parallel parking spots.

45 degree parking on the street?

im guessing it has to do with demonstrating that you can pull up and park at least within 18 inches to the curb, and if its on a hill how to turn your wheels.

Possible. I was thinking even easier: parking next to a curb (ie within the correct distance from the curb, the proper distance from crosswalks and hydrants, etc).

I'm assuming the emphasis is on the hilly curb part?

Oooh, that makes more sense...like those street-side mini parking lots.

yes, as in turning your wheels away/into the curb. im sorry, i figured that would have been implied.
