Parking appears to be a big issue for me! When doing my driving lessons many years ago, niaevity and inexperience gave me the confidence to just do what I was told whether it be parallel parking, reverse parking or whatever. Then for some reason (and I'm sure its not just me) when you pass your test you find yourself parking miles away from the shops/any onther cars 'incase the car gets bumped' but really because you dont want to park next to another car.
Having not needed to drive for 4 years my driving skills appear to be somewhat limited and its a total pain in the ass!! Reverse parking is forgotten about as soon as you pass your test but really its a skill that would make parking so much easier. I find myself parking an extra 200m away from the perfect space not only because I can't remember how to reverse park but I'm embarrased incase anyones watching or is behind me (as I know when someone takes ages to park I'm screaming out the window...why do you have a license!?! lol). As well as this even paralled parking has become an issue: if there is 1 space between 2 cars I'll drive past incase I bump 1 of the cars while driving in. You'd think I was driving a bus!!
Anyways moral of the story...I need to man up! Mabye I'll book a driving lesson to practice my parking...
