Deepcarowl Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 It could be worse, a lad I work with failed 8 tests and only just passed on the 9th! I think I would have given it up as a bad job after the 3rd! Luckily I passed my test 1st time with only 3 minors *Sits back looking smug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igm1 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 That a large proportion of women struggle with 3-dimensional spacial orientation is known and proven, and the reason that so many women struggle to park a car, but I wonder why. The male and femal brains have areas developed to different levels, but I wonder which skills/talents female evolution has concentrated on over the years to the detriment of 3D awareness. I would say it's probably been pushed to one side by an enlarged 'shopping cortex', but in all seriousness there must be something that this aspect of brain power has been sacrificed in favour of. Nice of you to contribute with a post of absolute BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayneRay Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I could not do a left reverse for toffee and got one on my test but passed,could not see the point of it . My husband says it is to show control of the car, last week I did one. The thing I found helpful was remembering that the wheel needs turning the way I want to move as somehow in reverse I got confused . Do not give up hope keep on trying.
