Read a case when a local women was struggling to park and someone offered to help...anyway she agrees, so he jumps in the car and drives off leaving her standing there like a plonker!!!

Getting back to the thread though, perhaps the sprog fell off her knee and jammed the accelerator down, feeling totally helpless (as you would being unable to think for yourself) she orders the slave (sorry housemaid) to retrieve said errant sprog, only for her to become jammed as well....in that situation the boys in blue sped to her rescue, thrashed the maid to within an inch of her life and reported all`s well that ends well.....maid ends up doing 10 years and deportation!!.......its nearly a xmas story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that funny! Just last week I watched some male twunt trying to parallel park a Mini in a spot big enough for a bus. It took him about 8 tries before he got the car into the spot without being either a) partly on the sidewalk or b) sticking out onto the roadway or c) parked at a 30° angle.

You do surprise me redShark. Imagine.....you don't trust a woman behind the wheel!

You, of course, would have the driving skills of the Stig right?

You're quieter nowadays, but still an oxygen thief.

I am not particularly admired for my driving skills, judging by the nervousness exhibited by the passengers when I am driving a car and me keep reassuring them ‘relax guys”. On the other hand , I always get compliments about my skills of car parking. No more than a couple of maneuvers and the car is well positioned in the parking space just like a brick in a neat wall. To tell you the truth I haven’t driven cars that much for the past few years, but very soon I am moving to live in a motorhome, a decision I've made since I am always traveling and living away from home, so I will be back to using motor vehicles I am afraid.
