    Wow... two funny stories about daft driving techniques and both women drivers! What are the odds, eh? :D

    Anyone see the story in The Herald yesterday.

    Learner driver just about to start their test Tallaght. While pulling out of the test centre the driver didn't look properly. Obviously pulled out onto the road a little and bang a truck took the front of the car off.

    Must go down as the worst test ever. Luckily nobody was injured so it’s ok to laugh.

    It looks like the "L" plate on the front is "photo-shopped" on, can't beat a bit of sensationalism :rolleyes:

    Considering she was just doing her driving test it would have been a requirement to have an L plate at the front of the car. Otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed proceed with the test.

    Between the time I posted and when other people came online the article had been modified, the original article had a lot more detail in it including an interview with a nearby coffee shop owner who reported that the woman driver was 'Befuddled'.
    Obviously the female editor arrived and found the article to be defamatory and ordered it to be purged of any gender references in case someone took offence, oh wait..

    Thank you. I was going to edit my earlier post but i was sure I had read in the article that it was a female driver in the Lexus.

    Even if it hadn't said that I still could see from the photos that it was not a man who did that. A man would not have stopped halfway, a man would drive all the way across the two cars and get out and give out to the people in the parked cars for driving under him. :D

    I feel sorry for the guy in the Celica, the Boxster has a grazed wing, but the Celica was properly drove over!

    Imagine him walking back to his car, 'yep, parked next to a Porsche so no chances of door marking on the side of my car . . . . AGHH what the . . .'!!

    Awful situation!!

    my theory is the Lexus was in neutral, the driver pressed the gas and expected to move off, nothing happened, she then floored it, and subsequently realised the car was in neutral, pulled it into Drive, car shot forward and mounted the other 2.

    ?

    actually that sounds like the most likely chain of events. I couldn't figure out how she did it - it just seems like the most unusual accident to happen. Whats the bets on the drivers hair colour?

    Ffs, why would anyone learn to drive in a 08 car, a 2 or 3k euro should be good enough to start with and work up to a better one once you get the hang of it, i won't say anything about women drivers only that they're my best customers, and I'm a panelbeater!!:pac:

    My money is blonde and aged roundabout 28 - 33 and possibly good looking but lacking any basic brain cells. Funnily I can see this being added to every one of those chain emails which both mock women drivers and bad parking at the same time. "not in the mood to give an interview" priceless :pac:

    also the report describes the Lexus as being worth £30,000, but it's a pre 2003 model, so therefore not worth anywhere near that.
