I'm lucky in that my car has a camera at the back - which my hubby insisted on as an extra as he knows how bad I am. When I was in the Army I used to drive trucks, and could never really get the hang of using mirrors to reverse. Parking was amusing to say the least - especially when we had to do it on convoy lights (very dim and you can hardly see anything)!

Pity they didn't have parking sensors Mel!

I would not have a car without any these days! Problem is that I have to remember to switch off the ipod which is usually blaring away in the car, before reversing so I can hear the bleep!

Reversing is easy.

Parking sensors - the best thing ever invented for the driver!
We normaly refer to these as lady park's

Apologies for the uncouth comments. In reality I would struggle without the driving capabilities of my better half... We tend to share the load and I will dive there and she will drive back {:)]

There is not much men do get away with so don't begrudge us the odd beer.

The thought of you taking driving lessons Michael really scares me - the streets of Londonderry had better look out!

I heard the premiums for this area have shot up once the insurance companies found out I was let loose on the roads. It has taken me 42 years to stay out of the pub long enough to take the lessons. I don't know which is the hardest to do.

Just make sure that you don't combine the two pastimes, and you will be fine!
