Motoring pet peeve of the day...

After lane discipline yesterday...

This morning I watched a lady in a massive Land Rover (one of the modern ones) try 7 timesto park, forwards, in a parking space (standard car park with spaces marked with white lines). In the end, she gave up and left it straddling the adjacent space by a couple of feet.

The space was big enough for the car if she'd got it in properly.

Don't buy the car if you can't drive it people!!

    School run mum type woman don't use the mirrors. Hell even my next door neighbour permanently keeps her passenger door mirror folded in and can't park for sh*te because of it.

    Pssssh!

    Watched a woman do that a few weeks ago with a Saxo. Honestly thought about filming her as I thought Harry Hill might send me £250 it was that bad.

    5t.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Maybe it was bought for her.

    Best entertainment at Summer Fetes and the like is to be found in the car parks. The combination of Chelsea Tractor + Unfamiliar Horse Trailer and space enough for oil tanker to manoeuvre is much more fun that seeing who has the biggest marrow.

    Same idiots that boot it the second you try to overtake them...... common theme with drivers of such vehicles......
