WEBVTT - MINI: The dreaded reverse parker

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Christian O'Connell Christian o'connells Show podcast to now for Patsy

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>to tell us the song that sums up her week.

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Patsy, what's it for you?

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Mate?

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:11.799
<v Speaker 3>You know what?

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 4>This was my afternoon yesterday.

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>I have this.

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 4>Really strong dislike and I don't know what it is,

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 4>but this really really strong hatred the drivers who insist

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 4>on reversing into a car park.

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 5>Why why why do you have the hatreds?

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>It's the most efficient way to parking.

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 4>No, I copped to yesterday afternoon, I was in a hurry.

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.919
<v Speaker 4>I was at the supermarket car park. I had a

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 4>very small window in which to park my car, getting

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 4>get a few things, get back before school was off

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 4>for lunch and to make lunch for Missy. And it

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 4>just holds you up like you're waiting there and inevitably

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 4>they can the terrible at parking. Maybe that's why they

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.199
<v Speaker 4>try to reverse. I don't know. It takes them about

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 4>five attempts to swing their big backside at suv or

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 4>double trade that's still going. Why why do they do it?

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 4>And I noticed on Saturday morning at swimming and Chris,

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 4>my husband is one of the main offenders, insists on

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 4>backing into the park. We can be five minutes like, oh,

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 4>hang on, I've just got a back in.

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 3>It's the safest way to do it because then when

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 3>you're coming out, you see people, you see the cars.

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 2>It's the safest way to exit the car park.

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 4>But it takes too much.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Why if you're a.

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 5>Good parker, Patsy, eventually you're going to if you reverse

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 5>in or you reverse out, eventually you're going to be

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 5>doing the slow reverse on the way out. They'll hold

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 5>you up because they have to look over their shoulder

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 5>and slowly reverse.

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 4>It's quicker. What difference does it make? What difference do

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't see the point anyway. It just holds me

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 4>up needlessly, and I do not like it.

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 3>This is honestly biggest rant in almost two years THESS Show.

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>It really does. It does.

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what?

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 3>There are many things where you go off on one.

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 3>I go, yeah, I'm one hundred percent behind that. I

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 3>have never been irritated by someone doing that. I just think, no,

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 3>they're a good parker.

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 5>I actually think then when when they go to leave,

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 5>it will be so easy for them to leave.

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 4>Thing Christian, they're not good parkers because it takes them

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 4>up to five attempts to do it properly. They can't.

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 4>Just like even with rear vision.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 3>It shows someone who is a confident parker that actually.

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 4>Goes quite good. I am quite good at.

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I think we should just shake hands today. You've had

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 3>a good ten years and let's move on. You have

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 3>actually gone crazy today. I say this with love. No, no,

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 3>you've actually lost the plot. Now you have an imaginary

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>conversations with me about questions I didn't ask, yes, I

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 3>am thank you what anyway, I just don't pray that

0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I get in front of you at a car park.

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to take I'm going to balls it up

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 3>on posing. Just give me a second to.

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 5>Get out and.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Give me another one drives me inside Christian podcast Christian,

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm with Patsy.

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>This is reversing into car spots.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Is something new. No, it's not. It's not new. It's

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 3>something new and it's for those who can't drive. It

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 3>takes forever. I'm with you, Patsy. Why it's mostly a

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 3>male thing, I will never understand it. That's from Jen.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>We've actually got calls. People feel very strongly on this, Patsy, John,

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 3>good morning.

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 6>They're not going to do it in the car park.

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 6>They do it in their drive ways of time to

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 6>and it just makes it it's frustrating, like and I

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 6>can't even do it in one go with three or

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 6>four goals and everyone's just looking in it and it's

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 6>just frustrating. And it's time and streaming. And I've grown

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 6>with Petsy. It is just for us driving thing.

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 3>John, Thank you very much. Give us a cool buddy.

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 3>Thanks having saying have a nice week. Can let's go

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 3>to a Karen.

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>It's illegal to drive into a car park.

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not, is it?

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>If you reverse out of the car park and hit

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a car, which I have been the victim of the

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>person that reverses into your car is legally liable for damages.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's fair enough.

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>It is also legal to reverse out of your driveway.

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 3>No, no, it's I don't think that's I don't think

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 3>that's it's a law about that.

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.039
<v Speaker 2>We'll be talking in the driving tests. Surely.

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>No. My father reversed out of a driveway and hit.

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 2>A car is in prison.

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 3>That's what I told you seven ten years that car

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 3>out one.

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 5>Day, Karen, if that is true?

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 3>Can verify this all right, Karen's gone, Joe. Yes, I'm good, buddy, Joe.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 3>What do you reckon? They're reversing into a our parking spot.

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 7>I'm with past one hundred percent. It frustrates the hell

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 7>out of me because what she said, a lot of

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 7>them can't even do it. So most of the time

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 7>I'm sitting there waiting and I just want to get

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 7>out of the car and tell them old thought for you,

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 7>because you're hopeless. So anyone out that it's twisting that

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 7>does it?

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:17.359
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Joe, You go, Joe, Joe, thank you very much.

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Have a nice we care mate. I'll try now.

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Okayta, you're a drive instructor. I am a dry I

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 3>already want to hear your teake on this.

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 8>Chris is actually right? It is safer to reverse park

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 8>into a spot because you can eyeball it before you

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 8>actually get into it, and because of the way that

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 8>your car pivots, it's safer than to drive out, and

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 8>it doesn't take as many bites to drive out as

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 8>it does to actually get in. And I agree there

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 8>are some people that struggle to do it, But if

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 8>you watch people reversing out of spots, they take a

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 8>lot more because they've got to position their car to

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 8>get the bond at part out without hitting the cars

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 8>decide them.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, see, Patsy, that's the thing I reckon. You're going

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 5>to get the slow reverse one way or an other,

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 5>whether it's in or out, So why does it matter

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 5>if they do it?

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, they're very cautious. That's a lot.

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 3>It's all about the pivot. I'm a Mechada and this

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 3>it all comes down to the pivot.

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. When that other caller, Karen, I think we're saying

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 8>that it's illegal to reverse. She's sort of right. It's

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 8>not illegal to park front end, but anytime you're reversing,

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 8>if you hit something, then that is the part that

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 8>actually becomes illegal.

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're liabel, you're fault.

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 8>It's incumbent on the person who's reversing to make sure

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 8>that it's safe to do so. And if you have

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 8>to look, those car parks in shopping centers now are

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 8>a lot tighter than what they have been in the past,

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 8>and our cars are a bit bigger as well. You

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 8>don't have a lot of room to think, so you're

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 8>watching corners and all the rest of it to try

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 8>and make sure that you're not hitting front corners and stuff,

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 8>and people are struck trying to get past because they're

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 8>too impatient to sit there while people.

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you know a couple you know, just.

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 5>Drivers curse all right, leaning down on the horn. Yeah.

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think if you're going, if you're driving with

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 8>this mindset that other people can't drive and it's frustrating you,

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 8>then you need to take a breath as well, because

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 8>you're actually putting your top under a lot of.

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 3>Stress that you take a breath right now.

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Just take a breath, Patsy, take a breath.

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.880
