dune Posted 12 July, 2012 Share Posted 12 July, 2012 Spaces in a new car park in the Black Forest town of Triberg now come with male and female symbols. The spaces for women are wider and well lit, while those for men are close to concrete pillars and can only be reversed into. Explaining the policy, Mayor Gallus Strobel said it was a natural decision because men are better at parking than women. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/9393451/Easy-parking-spots-for-women-introduced-by-German-mayor.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedg Posted 12 July, 2012 Share Posted 12 July, 2012 Personally never seen the point in reversing into a parking spot. In many cases you find the car opposite has gone when you leave so you can just go out forwards and if not both options take some reversing and as long as the car park is not super busy I feel it takes less time to reverse out of a parking spot than to reverse into one.

It all depends on whether you want a fast entry or a fast exit. I always reverse when parallel parking though, which so many women drivers struggle to do resulting in the comical scenes seen every day on high streets up and down the country.
