A friend of mine who is a retired truck-driver is always complaining about the way some people make a hash of simple maneuvers.

It is true though. I've watched people in the High St. (Main St. of town) trying to park in between other cars and getting in a real mess, often because they insist on driving in forwards.

I once watched someone have about a half dozen attempts at getting a really small car into such a space one day. It should have been easy -- When he finally gave up and drove off my 18 ft. of Pontiac went in (backwards) easily.
