    Why do women have so much trouble reversing(apart from thinking the rear view mirror is only there to aid the application of make up)?
    Any ideas?

    I was more concerned about the clearly visible number plate, I wonder how many of her friend have seen the picture on the 'net, could be very embarrassing:)

    The "Bugatti drive" was particularly offensive to me. Such a waste!

    Whilst studies do show the female brain is on average less effective at processing spatial information, they appear to compensate by being, IME, much harder workers and capable of multi-tasking much better.

    So on one hand men park better, on the other hand they end up speeding and have more accidents. Not sure on balance men are "better" really.

    Andy, I didn't mean just on here, we are a tiny world. I was merely wondering if the picture "had done the rounds" on the 'net.

    Does talking whilst doing ONE other useful thing count as multitasking?

    Only kidding guys, please don't write to your MPs:D. I think Greg's post was well balanced.

    Again, apologies to anyone i offended.

    No idea, but at a first glance it looks pretty genuine.
