New driver with an old car

I thought we still had parallel parking as part of our licence testing in most states of Australia so dam sure you would have had to do it to get your licence I know my youngest did when she got her licence 10 years ago although they did tell her not to change down gears when coming to a stop only to use the brakes which is against what I had taught her and against what I learnt 50 years ago getting my heavy truck licence
