    I would usually reverse into a space, except those angled ones on one way streets etc. Although i did once see a car reversed into one of those on a street. It must have been quite awkward to get into and I dont know where the driver was going to try to go when they got back Other than the wrong way up the street

    Why? They're dead handy to just reverse in to anyway.

    Why oh Why oh Why do people reverse into ecehlon parking spaces?:confused:
    Have you ever noticed that its much more awkward to get our of them as you effectively have to drive out around the car on your left?
    Echelon spaces are designed to speed up parking in one-way carparks by allowing people to drive straight in and reverse straight out in one manoeuver.

    If you reverse in then you are defeating the whole point. Also, if you find it easy to reverse in then you are probably driving the wrong way down that lane...

    I seem to remember a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth recently when the RSA made a similar assumption regarding young male drivers. There are many good and many awful drivers to be found among both sexes, let's just leave it at that.

    No, we can't leave it at that - along with a few other poster's on here, who made formal compaints to the BCC about that campaign, on the grounds of bias, amongst others, and had our complaints rejected on the grounds, that such (biased) statements were in fact entirely acceptable, than I'm afraid if it's good enough for the BCC, it's good enough for boards.ie.......ahem.

    Anyhoo Mrs Galwaytt has asked me to point out that piston's don't know which way the car is moving - forwards or backwards - 'cos they just go up and down........:P

    ..old VW's, 911's and Scooby owners, excepted, of course.......:D

I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    how brilliant is that. bloody mighty. can that be done in our lovely country.

    No need to wait, for approx Eur 700 you can have it in a new Audi. Even better, it parks the car for you, you just sit there and let the car do the parking.
