That amused me ;D Seen quite a few of these-many of them a hell of a lot worse than this one! At least she got there in the end. At the risk of sounding sexist ( ::)), all the ones Ive seen have featured women drivers too. Im not denying that there are a lot of poor male drivers out there but maybe the whole "spacial awareness" thing is borne out by such examples? TBH, SWMBO will always avoid parallel parking if she can and our daughter similarly avoids it. Maybe not enough time given to it when learning? I clearly remember that my daughter was once struggling to parallel park outside our house and she really didnt know where to look to judge the turn. I stood on the pavement , told her where to look out of the rear side window and to aim for where I was standing and she parked it perfectly. Maybe it'd be good if all cars were kitted out with that hands-free automatic parking device I saw on Top Gear a while back?
