Another French Marvel

The french are always stereotyped as being dreadful drivers. Well, most stereotypes must have some basis in truth, or they wouldn't have become stereotypes in the first place!

I saw a particularly fine example of french driving the other day. I was driving up a one way street and two cars in front of me there was a small white Clio. The woman in it was trying to park in the smallest space imaginable and she was determined she was going to squeeze her car in there come hell or high water.

Anyway, after much jiggling about, during which we saw her crash into the parked car behind her at least four times, she eventually managed to get into the space, sort of!

Got a lovely big dent in the back of her Clio for her efforts though! The funny thing was that just around the corner there's a big car park.

D'oh!
