I know one lady that is very dangerous when comes to backing up. I told her she needs runway lights.

News, Women are slower and less accurate at parking than men, according to a scientific study that confirms the suspicions of many male motorists.

Female drivers take an average of 20 seconds longer to park their cars but are still less likely to end up in the middle of the bay, the research suggests.

My wife is a really good driver, but is horrible about spacial judgment. She'll drive 400 miles home from our sons' up in Minneapolis - and do so flawlessly - then run into the back of the garage. I don't know why, but I do know that it always seems to be my fault when that happens...

Funny, friends (men and women) always ask me to parallel park their cars in tight spaces because I am so good at it. But, I did learn the trick to it from my dad. Maybe I'm just one of the few

Funny stuff.

One of my old girlfriends could not parallel park for the life of her. She had a Grand Am and would struggle getting it into a space that a truck could fit in.

The problem for many is that they wait too long to turn the wheel, and then when they do turn it, they don't turn it enough. It's all about the timing.

I don't buy it. I know some men who could not parallel park to save their lives while knowing woman who can with their eyes shut. I see good and bad drivers across the board
