so you are saying it is easier to reverse a longer car out of a space than into it?

dont be so silly,you will use the same amount of road regardless of whether you drive in or reverse in.
who mentioned you changing car?
maybe resitting test ,as you said it depends on ability,if you arent able you shouldnt be driving.
and driving style,yes properly,reverse in drive out,that is proper.
and it doesnt depend on car,whether it be a van an estate a smart car or whatever,the same simple physics apply (front wheel steering) .

it's not even physics! it's geometry!!!

but i agree.

I've got an idea!!:idea:

How about park and ride..........

nah - that doesn't work does it - still gotta park before getting the bus, but the spaces may be bigger there tho and then get the bus!

Hey tinkerbell - how about setting up a parking school of motoring!

It's a tempting idea!

For now I'll stick to parking as far away from the dodgy parkers as possible!!!! :rotfl:

Think I'd love to start a 'grumpy old woman' forum - wouldn't save any money but would make one feel great having a winge about cars/roads/tax/stupid drivers - don't even let me start Tinkerbelll!.............

Over 660 votes for him to be knighted!

AND.... over 43,000 for him to be PM - brilliant. Naturally I voted too - gotta be optimistic anewman - even if it is far fetched, sadly:rotfl:

Back to the thread..

Practise? Or walk......:D That would save money.

Is there a gender bias developing here, with females tending to nose in to parking space?

For the record i nearly always reverse in and always use my mirrors.
