Or in other Words
"White Men can't Jump & Women Can't Back-Up/In"


That's why everytime the Wife is driving and it gets to a place She'd have to Back-up or in. Out of the Car She hops and leaves it to Me to Back it in.

most school buses including the big 55 footers are driven by women. most transit bus companies will hire a woman driver before a man. many of the best over the road big rig owner/operator semi drivers are women.

Agreed, to a point. The majority of men LOVE to drive, it is a passion, whether it is a Ferrari or an Aerostar, and none of us can imagine not doing it. I could not wait to get my license at 16 and start driving.

On the other hand the majority of women see driving as a way to get from point A to point B (where men hit Points C-Z on the way to point B). My wife did not get her drivers license until she was 24 because she was scared to death of driving. I finnally had to drag her by her hair and forced her to learn to drive. She is a good driver, but hates to drive, and is not the greatest at parrelel parking either.

There is scientific fact that men have better depth perception than women. (goes back to cave man days and thowing sticks at animals,) where women are more detail oriented than men (making sure kids have matching socks).

Gosh, I remember when I was learning to drive, I was constantly scarring my mom when I would pull up behind someone or park (parrelel or any other way) with cars around that i would hit them. I could see that I had plenty of room, where she thought we did not.

I am surprised that Cowgirlmechanic has not chirped in on this subject yet.

My wife will not say a word, but if I scare here, she grabs the door handle for dear life, braces her legs against the floor boards, and stiffins up, while glaring at me.

Me, I just sleep through it.
