Hilarious. But kinda true.
Funny Story.
My mom drove her Subaru Forrester into a tree when coming out of the garage. And then blamed my dad for putting that tree there. My dad apologized.
Funny Story 2.
My mom really can't park. She sometimes parks her current car, a Mercedes Benz, in a way that it takes up 2 parking spots. And then people don't park in the 2-3 spots around her because they're afraid how she'll back-out and drive away.

Woman takes driving test for the 772nd time!
SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- One could say she has the determination ... but lacks the drive.
Driving agency estimates woman has spent more than $2,888 in exam fees.
Driving agency estimates woman has spent more than $2,888 in exam fees.
A 68-year-old South Korean woman this week signed up to take her driving test once again -- after failing to earn a license the first 771 times.
The woman, identified only as Cha, first took the written portion of the exam in April 2005, said Choi Young-cheol of the Driver's License Agency in the southwestern city of Jeonju.
At the time, she made her living selling goods door-to-door and figured she would need a car to help her get around, Choi told CNN.
She failed the test. She retook the test the next day and failed again. And again. And again.
"You have to get at least 60 points to pass the written part," said Kim Rahn, who wrote about the unflappable woman in the Korea Times, an English-language daily. "She usually gets under 50."
In the beginning, Cha went to the license office almost every day. Now, she no longer works but still turns up once a week, Choi said.
The office estimates she has spent more than 4 million won ($2,888) in exam fees.
Cha's last failed attempt was Monday.
She tries for the 772nd time either Thursday or Friday.

This video is pretty funny and that's one crazy news report Vick.
I do think this topic is sexist.. but in my experience, South Asian and Asian females (especially the aunties/older ladies) are by far the worst of the female crowd.
In the defence of "bad" female drivers, I know several ladies that are amazing drivers.. but that's only because I am big into the car scene. One of whom owns a black 1991 Acura NSX and would rape around a track... boy can she drive a stick!

oh shit! that's hilarious
funny story on my part...it just happened too. i went up to dc to pick up a friend so we could eat dinner...so i was parked outside her building and waited. there was a lot of room behind my car and in front front of another car. like, there was an insane amount of room...could have fit 2 SUVs...so, an SUV comes up...and this woman spends about 5 mins tryin to parallel park. She was not able to do anything at all...she kept backing in and out entirely and didn't get any part of her car inside the space.
so i parked it for her because it got really annoying seeing it in my mirror.
