one destroyed Volvo V70 bonnet, headlamp cluster and front bumper.
The wall is fine "think I must have put it in drive rather than reverse"
er yes.
I can relate and sympathise with that. Waved my other half off to work last night, watched her slip the merc into reverse, look behind her, and proceed to drive straight forwards towards the garage door. An embarrassed grin, correct gear and off the drive on the second attempt. Mind you, its also not very nice when she drives the other car (manual, diesel) revs the b*ll*cks off it in first driving off; "ooh I forgot that I need to change gear in this one..." 😯
(for the forum pc brigade; Obviously men are equally capable of driving numptiness, but my wife is DAFT.)
need more info to construct decent argument. or are you just being blokey hahaha
Automatic cars..well beyond most of em, mine left the last one at the off our road because she could make it go backwards.
At it to thermostats as not a lady thing.
indeed. women are rubbish. is that the end of the thread then. ho ho.
My ex used to thoroughly confuse the gearbox in my auto when driving, as far as I can tell she didn't stop completely when changing from reverse to drive/drive to reverse, which used to give it serious spasms, she also managed to forget it was an auto, gun the throttle and reverse off the drive into a passing ford transit...
And how many men do I know that have failed when driving? Way more than women 😀

mine's 60 on a motorway... unless I'm on a shout (then its about 78-85 depending on headwinds and inclines. bloody diesel vans)

A friend did that years ago. Dad's new car, identical to the last but for being an auto.
Auto's what?
Despite being a man, I managed to not notice that my car was in gear and turned the key... While it had no rear wheels fitted and was up on axle stands. Flukily enough it rocked back onto the stands rather than falling off, that would have been a [i]little[/i] embarassing.
There's a lot of people out there who really oughtn't to be driving cars.

Thats me, I'm an awful driver. But since I realised that I seem to have stopped crashing.
Men being the best gender ever, women being a bit rubbish at things and also thick - not sexism or archaic just facts.
Sometimes you depress me.
