wasn't it predictable that it was a female driver,

I wonder if it had occurred to you that the girl was practising how to park that way after a demonstration by the bloke. Maybe he wasn't that good either, we did not see the first part of the saga. Not often that you find such a quiet spot to practise.

Bit uncharitable of you I think, bet you did not get it right when you first tried to park with that method.

Or was it any excuse to mock?

Les, you must be a barrel of laughs during programmes like You've Been Framed....

" Not funny. He *might* have done that intentionally!"

No offence les, but by definition your statement must be complete bollox

To acquire a current UK driving licence you must prove to an examiner that you can quickly and safely perform a reverse parking manouvre. As neither vehicle was in fact displaying an 'L' plate, it can be assumed that both parties were in fact in posession of full UK licences, therefore any mocking and/or p!ss taking can in fact be fully justified without fear of reprisal

PS did anyone else notice how fecking HUGE thae micra (an alleged SMALL car) was, in comparison to the AX? I'll wager that the AX displayed a far more efficient use of it's interior space into the bargain

Excruciating. Makes you wonder how these muppets pass their test in the first place, or has that been dumbed down as well?

I stand by what I said. Why did she pull out to do it again after she had parked it successfully?

I quite like "Are you being framed", but that is in a completely different context to mocking someone when they are practising as I believe the girl was. Usually done by people to cover up their own inadequacies.

I think the fact that the bloke did not move his car further down the road shows that she was practising.

I agree with Leslie, they were clearly practising. The car was stationary for long periods of time, presumably while he was explaining something to her. At the start of the vid, one of the people filming it says that the guy parked the AX there before they started to park the Micra.
