When I took my driving test so many years ago, IIRC, i did fine in terms of those points they deduct during the driving part, but went way over my limit of points in the parking portion of the test. But i never felt fully comfortable behind the wheel, so i just didn't bother. No regrets for now, it's just a fact of my life, but there are some (so far, minor) inconveniences, like when we were out at the Seattle-area festival last summer and needed the help of others (for example, the wonderful PennyO) to get around to social functions and such.
