I went to Tesco's last night and parked in the center of a parking bay. As I was coming out a women in a Mercedes SL320 trying to reverse into the parking spot next to me, and a right mess of the job she was making of it too.
The SL320 is a small car, it can't be any bigger than a polo so how can you fail to park it between 2 lines designed to take trucks?
She had 2 go's at parking that I could see and came very close to my bike on the first attempt, she eventually ended up about a foot inside my parking bay and couldn't open the door fully because she was too close to my bike.
We cross paths as I walk back to the bike and she walks into the shop and she says "becareful of my car, I don't what you to drop you bike on it". grrrrr
Maybe she was being sarcastic knowing that I had seen her abissmal attempt at parking but I didn't detect any hint of humour in her voice. I think she was actually worried that I was going to stratch her car when I pull out in a straight line out of my parking bay.
Friends and Family have heard me say it many times and I'm going to say it again here. If you can't drive a car, then don't buy one. If you don't have the skill to manavour a car at 5 mph then you should not be on the road doing 70 mph.
