[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, you are right......it is something that has to be taught...and if it isn't taught well then it doesn't matter what gender you are it will take you time to formulate your own strategies to do it well....to be fiar, I think some people are just lazy parkers......they know how to park but don't bother to do it well, for whatever reason.
I hate those who park with their vehicle halfway on the pavement. They do not realise that mothers with prams are inconvenienced...wheelchair users too.
