Always wondered why women couldn't park

[Steep]

Apparently they have a "different sense of distance"

That's because they all get told that

is 8 inches

The parking bays are one metre (3ft) wider than normal spaces, he said.

And they'll probably still park with door handles touching.

I can vouch for that!

That is definately 8inches, no two ways about it :rules:



Mind you, I earn my living from cars, I can park a grand scenic within a hairs breadth on a clio in the workshops when we need to squeeze more cars in than we have space for at night; I can move an Espace off the forecourt through a gap its male owner swore blind it wouldn't fit through without adding any extra scratches to its existing collection; I can drive in snow, unlike most of the chaps in these parts....so why of gods earth can I no longer parallel park over my right shoulder first time? I mean WTF?? Takes a 2nd go, every time, regardless of the size/shape of car. I can do it over the more difficult left shoulder, no problemo, drives me mad!! :bang: I feel soooo.....GIRLY!!

thats only because people leave their handbags on the back seat

Snow is a great equaliser though, when you park on a snow covered
car park and it melts, then you realise you parked like a woman......

It does depend on the Vehicle, I drive a Renault Master every day and I can park that in the busiest high streets and smallest places imaginable, ( I work in Brussels one week out of two) but my Kia Sedona is a b****r to park and really it shouldn't be any different as they are the same width, its all in the mirror design and placement I reckon.

Steering lock can be a factor too, I also drive a van and reverse park using just the mirrors quite easily, but in a car looking over your shoulder out the window makes it harder.
