The number plate is clear... Take away her license... Sigh...

Hard to believe that parallel parking is part of the driving test, How do these people pass. If she is like that near stationary, what is she like on the road. Scary

Scary...

As has been said, if shes like this @ low speed, whats she like at higher speeds.

Seems to show a total lack of understanding/control of the car.

This really doesn't surprise me, at all.

I've been sat in a room with my sister and some of her friends and to quote what they said:

"I don't know which way to turn the wheel when reversing. The angles don't make sense"
"I always look for a space on the end, so I can pull in forwards"
"I hate driving in the dark"
"I always get confused on roundabouts"

To be fair, my sister can drive. Some of her friends are complete planks though and the lack of 'awareness' on the roads is scary..

The guy's filming it should have ran down and filmed it close up.

She should be banned from driving and made to resit her test. How can you be let loose on the roads and not know how to trun the wheel to the left when reversing parking after youve got the rear end into the space.

LOL, That reminds me of my sister driving back from our family holiday home in Ballater. She was driving down the middle of a dual carriageway (A9) when it was dark. I asked her what she was playing at, Her reply was "I'm following the white lines, I can’t see where I'm going in the dark"

she must of had something short on when taking her test or using a different kind of gear knob

Maaarkk · 04-29-2013, 06:17 AM

Haha, seen this uploaded on Facebook. It's down in a student area in Belfast. Wonder how she passed her test!

safety_james · 04-29-2013, 06:27 AM

what the hell?!!!....she's a danger to other road users.

she must have given more than a hand job to make up for that kind of driving...

The guys on the video were interviewed on tonights news. Then one had to go out and parallel park the reporters car. Lucky for him he did it without a hitch.
