It's interesting to me that here in WA both the car driver and motorcycle rider tests have a lot of "urban" skills that to me, a dedicated country dweller and blue road traveler, are more "odd and interesting" than really useful skills. I personally don't mind sharing the road with someone who can't parallel park to save their life, so long as they don't try to do it and thus bash into my parked car or hold up traffic forever.
A more critical skill is how to steer into a skid, every winter I see objective evidence that some people around here can't do that in an orderly, safe, and proficient manner. These nimble nuts could drift into my lane and make me share their problem...
Honestly, I've been doing it for years, and I still can't quite "glide" in just by feel the way some people do. I'm constantly evaluating and re-evaluating the angle. Seems to work for me though as I rarely have to pull out and back in.
