You know when you can see a bad driver using sixth sense?

Well I spotted one coming in to the Post Office car park this morning. I was still in my car with the only other spare space next to me. I saw her drive in to the car park and I'm not sure why, but I just got this feeling she'd be a menace.

I went inside, picked up my post and when returning to my car she was in the space next to me, but really close to my car. She could see she had no room to get out of hers and I couldn't get back in to mine so she looked over her shoulder to reverse back out and then....started to turn the wheel She was now turning the wheel enough to smack right in to my car....I actually went in to one of those slow motion life events. I could see what was about to happen. "Wooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhh" I shouted. Obviously loud enough for her to hear and by the time she'd reacted she'd hit my wing mirror and her front wheel was about 1" away from my car door.

Her reaction? "Don't worry, it's only my wing mirror that's moved". Thankfully there was not a mark on mine.
I told her to drive forwards and there was just about enough room for me to squeeze in to my car and drive off...and as I do so I see her bouncing forwards up the curb

This is when you need the optional 'bazooka' fitted to your car!!!

I get the same 'sixth sense' when on a two laned road approaching a roundabout (the A34 bypass I travel down every day for instance), you just know which cars in the left hand lane before the roundabout are going to not bother steering around the roundabout and just cut across into the right hand lane where you are. Don't know how, but I can just sense it, hang back and wait for them to cut me up .
Bazooka time .

Every single female car driver over the age of 25 gives me this feeling.

and if they've got a child seat in the back: 20 times more so.

Hilarious and I know exactly what you mean. Amazing the sheer amount of poor drivers there are out there!

Is it me, or have parking spaces got smaller whilst cars generally have got wider?

The driver you describe is all too common, but many car parks these days seem to have overly narrow spaces. Clearly this young lady was a decisive FAIL.

The main benefit of having kids is so you can take them with you to Tesco and use the nice wide "family parking" spaces. OK, not the main benefit but it has been a very long school holiday......roll on next week!

Mike.
