Parking in tight spaces

This is from local paper, no one injured so that's one thing.

However I never realised women were this good at getting in to tight spaces

Reverse in, drive out every time - tight or not.

I just don't park in tight spaces.

Find another don't want my sides dinged

Bit paranoid I know but i drive around looking for spaces in the following order

Extra wide - know where they are in my local supermarket

By lampposts etc - if I park close to the line then no one else will tend to park there next to my car

Away from anyone else and far away from the doors - larger people like to park closer

Not neAr a van/mpv/child seats etc

Knackered and battered cars
