Not the finest moment in competitive driving . . .
I'll let the video speak for itself.
Ye Gods and little fishes . . . however were they selected to appear on the show in the first place?
To get my class A license in TX I had to parallel park a dry van.
My wife still can't back up without sticking her head out the window like a prairie dog. I won't mention the time she backed into the side post of a 10' gate with a 5' wide car because she CAN'T USE her MIRRORS.
Heck, I see drivers like this (and some worse) nearly every day. I've been a salesman for 34 years and spend a good portion of every work day on the roads. One woman who works at another firm in my building parks her big SUV with about 3 feet of the rear end protruding into the space behind every day. (She gets there early and pulls forward into a space so she can leave without backing up. Probably is afraid to back that thing up.)
Reminding me about women and SUVs is like playing a tape of my gallbladder operation on my TV just before our Thanksgiving dinner and making me watch it over and over!
I see this kind of thing in parking lots all the time. It's why I warn my kids that a parking lot is about the most dangerous place they'll ever walk or drive.

ReplyDeletePlease someone reassure me these idiots do not have a licence to drive a vehicle in a public road?
