Parallel Parking Fail

Grimmsays...

You could almost forgive a smaller weaker person for not cranking the wheel at a full stop back when most cars didn't have power steering. But now days there's no excuse except being a crappy driver.

The poor ladies of the world have a driving stereotype because of people like this..


...and because of all the other women drivers. It's not fair that a select few decent women drivers have to suffer because of the stereotype created by the majority of female drivers. It's a pity...

I love these. I watch Canadas Worst Driver for this kind of stuff.

1) Back in.
2) Turn the wheel all the way to the left.
3) Pull forward.
4) Leave the wheel exactly where it is, back up.
5) Expect your car to be in a different location then it was at step 2.
6) Pull forward.
7) Return to step 2 and hope for a different result.

It burns my ass to see people hit other people's cars and carry on like nothing happened.


When I first lived in New York and I would see people nudge to parallel park I was dumbfounded! Being originally from Michigan where cars are Gods, I just couldn't grasp the idea of nudging and it being ok. A couple years later I learned that's what bumpers are for! You can nudge quite a bit before any monetary or physical damage is done. Lot's of nicks and pings in NYC cars though, I'll tell you that.

But not all bumpers line up height-wise with other cars' bumpers. Most aren't made of steal and are actually painted. Etc. Therefore drivers shouldn't ding other cars regardless, IMHO.

My car has some pretty nasty dings and even bad grooves cut into it from other drivers rationalizing hitting cars like that and driving off.

Say WHAT? They are not meant for "Braille parking".

I hope you're being sarcastic, it's not readily apparent. The bumpers on a car exist so that, in an accident, the damage to your vehicle is minimized. The "5 mph bumper" came about after consumer groups fought to have execedingly minor accidents ( < 5mph ) do virtually no damage at all, to help keep cost of ownership down. It was never meant to take the place of competent driving skills.
