Parking lessons

[routermaniac]

Ok little johny, lets practice your parking now... just put the car into drive and slowly touch the accelerator... just watch the telegraph pole... Steady... steady... Thats good, a little faster now... come on boy, haven't got all day...

[PhilMcCrackin]

Crikey.... Just how would you get a car down from there?

Try Reverse gear




Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.

Or LOW gear

What about the 15 year old kid who was asked to get the car off the transporter and who is still sitting in driver's seat with a death grip on the steering wheel and wondering why the streetscape has suddenly turned blue with all those white, fluffy things :D

Also begs the quesion "How did it get there in the first place?":)

[Cliff Rogers]

Pro'ly mounted the gutter & ran up a guy wire, guy wired broke & left the car perched just right.

There is a wire hanging from the pole, I bet that's the broken guy wire.

[Ausworkshop]

Yea I rekon Cliff is probably right, the exact same thing happened at the top end of my street and it happened just as Cliff said.
Funny thing was watching the women trying to get out, I probably shouldn't laugh, it could have been more serious.;)

That would solve the parking problem at this coal terminal I'm working on.

Look, I hate to be sexist or anything, but the originating photo is taken directly from the our local driver test. Unless teenage girls can manage this, they are required to take another six months training. And yes, it is a sexist policy, but we found that if the girls were required to meet the teenage boy standard of hanging from the cross trees of the pole, very few qualified for their license. This is, in fact, a case of positive discrimination based on recognising that teenage girls, being less aggressive than teenage boys, are unlikely to find themselves in as difficult situations as the boys. However, there is some balance added to the test - the girls must be creating an SMS message at the time of the incident, not just a reply, but a fresh message, whereas the boys are only required to be replying to their girlfriend.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that it was a lady driver, look at the precision of the angle made with the pole, generally blokes don't fuss too much about such details :) and besides if it was a bloke we would not be content with such a result, the telegraph pole would have to have come down and if it didn't we'd be at with with a japanese rip saw :p :D

[routermaniac]

oops I meant crosscut saw :)

It comes with experience.
