She still has some friends that can't parallel park. We live outside San Francisco and driving into SF and not being able to parallel park is a big problem...

They removed the requirement a couple of years before I got my license (which was a while ago now). I heard that too many students were damaging the cars as they backed into them. I think that Teen Auto did teach me to parallel park, but I think it was only when we found spots that were wide enough to ensure that cars would not be hit.
I can parallel park on either side of the street.
