Women Drivers...

... Ladies, get in the car before putting it in drive and put it in park before getting out. Got it?

I hit my wife with the car once. She was none to pleased with me.

Ha Ha! I am gunna rep you for just admitting that to us. Good post.

[Edman316]

I will take it an honest step further - most people on the roads in my area suck at driving - males and females.

I mistakenly left the car in drive being preoccupied with getting out and not slipping on ice balancing my sons birthday cake. I'm out with the door shut when she sees the car moving forward. She thought it was sliding or something and got in front of it to try and stop it not knowing it was in gear. It hit her then pushed her through the garage door! Pinned her in pretty good. Somehow I managed to get back in and put it in park. Didn't even drop the cake. Oops!

80% of men rate themselves as 'above average' drivers. True story.

[crupiea]

I have a sad story to report.

I was trying to park in my apt lot the other day and my neighbor and his wife were in the car in front of me. he was driving.

he attempted to parallel park while I waited to go around him. tried it twice and then I saw his wife get out and he moved the the passenger seat so she could do it for him.

sad state if affairs it was.

Every time I get on the road I am the best driver and everyone else sucks...

Lol what the hell was she thinking. Seems like bad mistakes on both your parts

Lol did she give you $hit for not dropping the cake?

LOL Two of the best drivers that I know are women. One of them could take to the track I do believe!

That is politically incorrect sir...









but funny as hell...


I saw one of these the other day...

My wife was an unbelievably good driver. The only person I would trust to drive while I slept when we were on the road. She drove all my 4-speed cars, could pull a stock car on and off the trailer. Even drive a 24' box truck with a 5-speed.

Her sister... among the worst and scary to be a passenger in her car. She drives 40 miles one-way to work every day and holds it at 55 on the LI Expressway. She drives with the seat all the way up almost against the steering wheel and she's one of those who are on and off the gas constantly, almost made me motion sick one time. My sister is probably even worse, a while-knuckle driver even around town. I won't get in the car if she's driving.

Angie is the same way. She works for a delivery company and drives a 24' box truck everyday. They also put her in charge of training all the new drivers. Her new jeep is manual transmission and she can actually back up trailers no problem.

When I was younger and stronger I had a small pickup truck. To parellel park it I would pull the front end in, put it in park and bounce the back end in by pulling up on the bumper.

[latebloomingmom]

actually I can admit..I had to parallel park
I will go around block to find a spot to avoid it

[Mindi912]

Parallel parking is piece of piss. If you can't parallel park in the uk you're screwed. Most parking is on street.

I guess the best compliment I've had from a dude (or at least in his head it was) was, him telling me I'm cool I drive like dude.

I hate trying to back up trailers! Fortunately, I very rarely use mine, only for the occasional pumice run.

ABout 15 years ago I took our elderly neighbor to the metal recycling place, and watched a woman back an 18-wheeler (full size trailer) along a long muddy driveway of two narrow concrete strips. I was in total (gender neutral) awe. I didn't even want to drive on that going forward.

[beachguy498]

With the back injury, parallel parking is tough for me unless the spot is big enough to do it in one shot. I avoid it too.

You mean you dared to live out the American dream?

Srsly... I did have a fiancee who jumped out of the car once when I was driving. We were having an argument and she just got out. Lucky (for her) I was slowing down and she had minor scrapes and bruises.

I always did okay with a race car on an open trailer, I could navigate a narrow driveway with it. Boat trailers are not that bad, anything else I won;t even try to back it in.

I am awesome at parallel parking. Don't know why, it just comes really easy to me.

Parallel parking is one of those things most people just get, or never will. If you're uncomfortable with the concept then once you get that license you're unlikely to even bother trying especially when making a mistake may result in insurance claims against you!

[SP1966]

Anybody who thinks they're good with a trailer needs to try backing up an aircraft with a tug, double pivot points FTW!!!!

When I did my driving exam back in Europe, it was on a manual gear car and the instructor made me start from up hill. I stalled the engine twice so he said "I should really fail you but I'll give you a last chance" he points at a spot and says "you pass if you can parallel park into that spot". I did and got my license

Now, reversing with a trailer on the other hand is one of the biggest mind fukks EVER. Turn left to go right... turn right to go left...

My post above yours about backing up an airplane, turn right to go right, but then quickly turn left to keep going right but don't turn to far left of you'll be going left again. It was a total mind f'ck initially, but within a few days it's like riding a bike!

Somebody said to hold the bottom of the steering wheel instead of the top, it's supposed to make it easier. I still don't get it. That's why my husband backs the trailer when we go camping.
