Because most people don't live on a farm in the middle of nowhere their entire life and at some point drive into a city where they will have to parallel park.

When was the last time you parallel parked? I go into Providence fairly regularly and I don't think I have ever had to parallel park. Maybe on the East Sid on rare occasions, but not frequently.

At any rate, I'm not anti parallel parking, I just think it plays an outside role in getting your license when there are far more important skills.

What are you talking about? I parallel park in downtown every day.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I live in Providence, never parallel park. The city's such that if you don't want to parallel park then you can simply route plan better and park down a side street and walk an extra 30 seconds.

Sure, if you don't want to risk burning more calories than you have to, and so insist on parking directly in front of wherever you're going, yeah, you'll probably have to do it.

Depending on where you are in Providence. I live in Providence and there is only parallel parking near my apartment.
