The reason why I am asking is this. When I was a kid in school, I think many if not most people have experienced this, I would have these math tests and, despite getting the correct answer, the teacher would dock me points for not using the method she wanted me to.

I was wondering if the people who administer driving tests expect you to use a particular method in the same way that elementary school math teachers do.

This is not the DMV help center but I think the answer you are looking for is that you need to practice and do whichever method works best for you. So that you park well and can execute the maneuver with confidence. Not a lot of in and out trying to get it right. I think that is what the instructor will be looking for.

Probably - most likely need state or federal funding which is tough to come by in CT. Feel like this is the case for a place like bridgeport and New Haven too wherever there are dilapidated old industrial buildings. We’re talking real estate within 2 hours of Manhattan - the entire area is economically worth redeveloping

Even just putting in something nice in those empty lots would do wonders, but I get the feeling there's some prohibitive costs associated with brownfield reclamation, because that' absolutely prim real estate (major train stop, two exit ramps from 95, walk to the waterfront...)
