I drive the community bus, and it's a 15 seater Fiat thingy. The bus goes in and out the narrow lanes in and out of the housing and bungalows etc.
I was here exactly on Monday.

A lady in a car was coming towards me.
We stopped.
She looked at me, and I looked at her.
She had loads of room to reverse, and as I'm in a big minibus with a dozen passengers, it was up to her to reverse into a wide space maybe 100yds back.
She couldn't do it.
She weaved left and right, slipped the clutch, hit the bank, flipped her mirrors backwards against the banks, and had no idea at all.
My passengers to a man/woman said that the folk like her shouldn't be allowed to have a driving licence.
Meanwhile, traffic was backing up behind her .......... and me.
We eventually passed each other, and were stuck.
She was stuck with her wheels to the left into the bank and couldn't cope.
I was stuck because I couldn't open my door to help.
I opened my window, and told her to turn her wheels fully to her right and move a little forward to take her off the bank.
By doing that, we freed ourselves, and I could draw forwards out of the way of the back of her.
As I drove past the other cars stuck behind, they all smiled and shook their heads.
All I could do was laugh.
The whole thing took maybe 20mins.
Why should ANYONE be allowed to drive a car who cannot reverse in a straight line?
. The only thing that matters, as far as I'm concerned, is: being able to use one without one's attention being diverted from the road. If a candidate can't - that should be an instant fail.
