I'm sorry that many of my posts seem to be about driving and car related issues but these things annoy me. The one thing I am certain of is that driving has been mystified by too many "driving instructors" into a kind of magic or higher ability. It definitely isn't, in fact it is really very simple and boils down to the undemanding ability to push one of two pedals, (one to go and one to stop), and a very small learned skill in turning a large wheel in front of you sufficiently to negotiate corners.
That said the next mystery is why some drivers cannot judge the distance between their car and the path, lampost, other parked vehicle or any other type of obstacle when they are parking. Emergency service vehicles, especially the wider ones i.e. fire engines need 10 feet or 3 metres of space to get through. If they are to get to the scene of a fire before all the children in the building are reduced to cinders they need to be able to drive without having to ease gently between to stupidly parked vehicles.
Simplifying the mystical driving game once again - PARK A FEW MORE YARDS/METRES AWAY AND WALK BACK TO YOUR DESTINATION YOU BONE IDLE DUMMIES.
There, see? so easy to get the anger out!
