Parallel parking is included in the pool of manoeuvres that can be tested. I believe they can test on:

• Drive in bay and reverse out
• Reverse into bay
• Pull up to side of road and reverse 2 car lengths
• Parallel park at side of road

20% of tests will not use the sat nav, but revert back to the sign following independent driving, albeit with the new 20-minute duration.

I would like to see motorway driving included, though I accept that this makes it difficult for those living in remote areas. I'm not sure what the solution is to that one.
