yes.. they are still required.. and yes.. for the precision required to
execute them..

why do people still have to show they can parallel park a car to pass a
driving test.. hardly used in most areas now..
because it shows you can put a car where you want it and you know where your
corners are..

it's a "finesse" thing..

Because of the precision reqiurement to pull them off?
