    China shopping centre builds 'car park for women'

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8432887.stm

    "The parking bays are one metre (3ft) wider than normal spaces"

    Are they suggesting women can't drive? tsk......

    Now all we need is for the UK to follow suit and build a separate road system too

    Wait for it

              I think you guys are being unfair to women drivers. How can you expect women to drive cars designed by men?

              There need to be a woman friendly car with such features as:

              Reversible seats and dual rear driving controls so that if she need to go backwards all she does is turn the seats around and use the rear driving controls.

              Padded wings on the car to avoid those minor scrapes.

              A hand brake that automatically comes on when the can stops.

              Anti roll back mechanism for hill starts.

              Castor wheels for parking.

              Fully automatic climate control that demists the windows so she does not have to frig about with trial and error just to clear the windscreen.

                  Speeking as a woman I don't think the worst thing about driving in China is the parking... I was once in a car in China which undertook other cars on the hard shoulder and whilst it was doing that another car undertook that car on the embankment.

                  I was also once in a taxi in China which drove straight into a tree.

                  Needless to say they were all male drivers.

                    I think that’s a very sexist comment unlike us males who are trying to make constructive suggestions for women.
