Of course I can! This is my answer to the question, coming from someone like me who learned to drive in London, I had no choice but to learn very well how to reverse park into a one-car space.
Excellent Rose…
I was coming home from work and the lady who lives at the back of us was reversing into her drive on the road behind our house that I had to pass down to get home. She was so quick and I was impressed. After backing up my own drive she appeared in her back garden. I called out to her…“That’s a sight you don’t see every day” She replied “What, a woman reversing?” It’s a good job she had a sense of humour. We both laughed…
She knew me so well…
Of course, learned at 16 years old, and kept my skills honed.
My vehicle has the back up mirrors now, but I still rely on techniques for my own competence.
I have no problem reversing into spaces and I have no cameras, sensors or other parking aids, unlike my kids who cannot park without these.
Is this another skill being lost?
The parking business. We lived on a farm so we had tractors and various implements - bogies, ploughs, bailers… and I was quite often in charge of the tractor.
I can reverse park but can’t remember the last time I actually did it, these days it is all car parks or angled parking so reverse parking is a skill I never get to use or practice.
We don’t have such a law here, except for the roads with white/blue lines indicating individual parking spaces, where you should park exactly within the lines.
A law like that would never work here, I’m sure you’ve heard about our “wild parking”, especially Naples and Rome. I’m not like that, I promise , I’m very British when it comes to parking, always respecting the rules.
