I cannot pass the exam, can't do the parallel park.

I want to see screenshots if you are going to claim that you passed.

Just an aside, this is a serious pet peeve of mine: It's Addictive, not Addicting. There is no such word as "addicting."

I can't parallel park normally so why would this be any differnet.

You sure addicting isn't a word?  Dictionary.com says it is plus spell checkers don't pick it up.

Well, turns out I was wrong about it not being a word  Embarassed
However, my search turned up something about this (and it's crazy how relevant it was, haha):

Addicting
...is not an adjective! You can only say "The cocaine is addicting me." You cannot say "Cocaine is addicting." Cocaine is addicting what? AddictIVE is an adjective. "Cocaine is addictive." addictinggames.com is probably a misuse of the word, unless they're saying that the games are addicting people.

I think most people use it incorrectly, which is why the word bothers me so much. Who would ever say "the cocaine is addicting me"  Rolling Eyes

But, I was wrong, it is a word!

parallel parking wasn't that bad for me.  But pulling out, I still can't get.  I've tried both ways, and neither one seems to win it for me.
