    I f you can't do such a simple manoeuvre either get some lessons or hand your license back to DVLA because you're not fit to be on the road.

    Not sure why there is so much hate especially the parking bit but I have realised that I over-inflate my tyres to increase my mpg and have more even wear which is what many people have found to be useful according to the prius chat forums. However, it is an american website mainly and they don't have as many potholes as we do, and after reading up I think that causes more damage to the sidewall during potholes, not from parking.

    I will be replacing the tyres before my MOT, and I will probably stick to normal pressures although the wear is definitely more even now.
