    Just for once must agree, won't make a habit of it, sure driving behind someone who doesn't know what they are doing, the rest have no chance of knowing.

    You’re a lot safer driving behind a hesitant driver than in front.

    Annoyance with overly loud car up the road cannot reverse, appears to come in the road a certain direction by going around the long way. If her 'space' is occupied, she then goes off and comes back in opposite direction several minutes later, rather then reverse or turn the bloody car around! The annoying thing is, you hear the damn thing go all the soddin way around too!
    Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be "discovered" by an election.

    I hate Fiat 500's as it seems that EVERY driver in them are elderly,or simply plant pots,as they drive too slow,then take up as much road as they can,so you cannot even pass,even when limits allow,and as for the cars themselves........................Bloody awful shape,horrible colours,atrocious interior styling....just about everything really that could be wrong with a vehicle,then a Fiat 500 is just that...Yuk !!

    ...and by way of balance;

    Hatch backs with blonde myopic females of indeterminate age, who sit tight up to the steering wheel and do 40 everywhere - and I mean everywhere!
    Supermarket car park, dual carriageway, urban roads - most often after dropping kids off and racing back to online shop, Faceache or Instagran.

    Assuming 'Drivers' means already qualified drivers in "Should Drivers Who Cannot Reverse Be Banned From Driving?" , How would that work? A qualified driver will already have shown that they can reverse. Perhaps the lady was just having a bad day.

    Depends on when they were tested......Back when I took it, all you did was reverse left-hand-down around a corner without striking the kerb. No test of reversing in a straight line for 100m. No test of reversing into an on-road parking space. No test of reversing into a supermarket parking space. No test of a dog-leg reverse into a bay. Imo, all those should be part of the test - it would weed out many 'plant-pots'!

    Each to his/her own I remember a Lada parked on Lord St 40ish years ago with a Liverpool FC players name plastered all over it. If it is free a Reliant Robin would be driven by many owt for nowts.

    Lada did a few of these sponsorship deals whereby they sponsored the who staff Lancashire Cricket club where also one, I don't think it was as popular with the senior playters as it was with the junior ones.

    When I was working and travelling across the NW, I had the same feelings about Nissan Micra's. Whenever there was a queue of traffic ambling along an A road at 35 mph, nine times out of ten it was a bl**dy Nissan Micra at the front !

So some women can't reverse some taxi drivers can't drive full stop.
    I've used that rank in the past, the problem with some modern cars is that when you do indicate and pull away from the kerb is that as soon as you pull away, your steering straightens up and your indicator cancels itself straight away.

    So they could have indicated.

    Hasn't reversing round the corner recently been scrapped from the test?
