lol! Men are S*** at parking.

I work in a car showroom, some tossing sales man reversed a car through the window, then the other one trashed a brand new vehicle by hitting a post at speed when parking. If that is considered good male driving then god help us. Rolling Eyes

Once worked in a car dealership about 8 years ago while in college. Customer brings in his brand new car for its first oil change at 3K miles. Mechanic put the car up on the lift, but didn't do it right somehow and the car falls off the lift. Dealer had to get the customer a new car and sent the mechanic packing.

Hands up, cards on the table, I am a crappy parker. It is the one bit of driving Im not very good at. I tried to parallel park in a reasonably sized space and admittedly spent about 5 minutes going back and forward trying to straighten up lol. I ended up giving up and now Im sticking to either parking in bays or parking at the end of a row of cars lol. Its not too bad actually lol

well my wee 106 pretty much hides me lol. People think its a child driving my car ha.

I gave a bus drive the finger on the way home from work today. I pulled up to a junction, he was coming round and totally cut the corner, nearly driving into me and then made a face at me - bloody idiot!

Then I beeped a twassock who was about to walk onto the road into the side of my car. He looked like a tramp or something, some dumbass people out today lol

Try parallel parking in an opening that is at least 2 metres (6 feet) longer than then length of your car. You can practise this at home using cones or garbage cans. As you get better, you can start decreasing the length of the opening.

I actually managed to parallel park today - Mum forced me too when parking outside the chip shop lol. It was a big enough space, a foot and a half at either end easy but I find it hard getting the angles right.

Im working on it though lol and at least I can pull up behind cars and get into bays although I often have to straighten up. I've not hit anything yet though Laughing

What do you expect from a salesmen...? Salesmen can't drive worth a s*it period. I work in a car showroom and we've had 3/4 women sales people. All of which who couldn't drive worth a damn. One of them sideswiped a wall with a brand new Tahoe, and another crashed a brand new Corvette cause she couldn't drive stick.

So according to your logic, women can't drive worth a dogs*it.

Hi there, at seventeen I was lucky to have boyfriend who taught me to drive. He was a little older than me but he was a great driver with a lot of experience , I am talking learning to drive. In the first few lessons he insisted the I learn how to park in a bay and the dreaded kerbside parallel scenario. You may think that was easy but all of this was done in the dark. I can assure all our gentlemen readers that I can still park easily and safely as the day I passed my test.
