how to park ,eventually
I don't know who is worse, well actually I do, it's the morons who would rather laugh at someone rather than giving them a helping hand, they could probably drink her under the table, a useful attribute ?

They did try to give her a hand but she refused. Not sure where the drinking comes in to it! :)

the drinking comes into it Television in that it is a student area unappropiately called the 'holy land' notorious during Easter each year for student yob behaviour. We even had the Son of a barrister arrested a few years ago during the melee, but curiously there never seemed to be a follow up, I suppose daddy knew the right people !

Exactly.

It's quite a few years now since I passed my test, but I believe that driving in reverse is not given enough importance in the driver training - it seems to be considered as some sort of accessory detail, and of no particular interest, resulting in the effort seen in the video.

The test nowadays can include a parallel park. That young lady has also had her licence for more than a year...wonder what she was doing all that time?

Just showed this to SWMBO (with the sound on mute ;) ).

Comment after 5 minutes: "HE just doesn't know how to park - HE's not turning the wheel" :rolleyes:

There are quite a few other things need to be ground into certain drivers eg lane discipline and how to know the proper use of roundabouts
