Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Christian o'connells Show podcast to now for Patsy
Speaker 1: to tell us the song that sums up her week.
Speaker 2: Patsy, what's it for you?
Speaker 1: Mate?
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 4: This was my afternoon yesterday.
Speaker 2: I have this.
Speaker 4: Really strong dislike and I don't know what it is,
Speaker 4: but this really really strong hatred the drivers who insist
Speaker 4: on reversing into a car park.
Speaker 5: Why why why do you have the hatreds?
Speaker 2: It's the most efficient way to parking.
Speaker 4: No, I copped to yesterday afternoon, I was in a hurry.
Speaker 4: I was at the supermarket car park. I had a
Speaker 4: very small window in which to park my car, getting
Speaker 4: get a few things, get back before school was off
Speaker 4: for lunch and to make lunch for Missy. And it
Speaker 4: just holds you up like you're waiting there and inevitably
Speaker 4: they can the terrible at parking. Maybe that's why they
Speaker 4: try to reverse. I don't know. It takes them about
Speaker 4: five attempts to swing their big backside at suv or
Speaker 4: double trade that's still going. Why why do they do it?
Speaker 4: And I noticed on Saturday morning at swimming and Chris,
Speaker 4: my husband is one of the main offenders, insists on
Speaker 4: backing into the park. We can be five minutes like, oh,
Speaker 4: hang on, I've just got a back in.
Speaker 3: It's the safest way to do it because then when
Speaker 3: you're coming out, you see people, you see the cars.
Speaker 2: It's the safest way to exit the car park.
Speaker 4: But it takes too much.
Speaker 2: Why if you're a.
Speaker 5: Good parker, Patsy, eventually you're going to if you reverse
Speaker 5: in or you reverse out, eventually you're going to be
Speaker 5: doing the slow reverse on the way out. They'll hold
Speaker 5: you up because they have to look over their shoulder
Speaker 5: and slowly reverse.
Speaker 4: It's quicker. What difference does it make? What difference do
Speaker 4: I don't see the point anyway. It just holds me
Speaker 4: up needlessly, and I do not like it.
Speaker 3: This is honestly biggest rant in almost two years THESS Show.
Speaker 1: It really does. It does.
Speaker 2: Do you know what?
Speaker 3: There are many things where you go off on one.
Speaker 3: I go, yeah, I'm one hundred percent behind that. I
Speaker 3: have never been irritated by someone doing that. I just think, no,
Speaker 3: they're a good parker.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I actually think then when when they go to leave,
Speaker 5: it will be so easy for them to leave.
Speaker 4: Thing Christian, they're not good parkers because it takes them
Speaker 4: up to five attempts to do it properly. They can't.
Speaker 4: Just like even with rear vision.
Speaker 3: It shows someone who is a confident parker that actually.
Speaker 4: Goes quite good. I am quite good at.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 3: I think we should just shake hands today. You've had
Speaker 3: a good ten years and let's move on. You have
Speaker 3: actually gone crazy today. I say this with love. No, no,
Speaker 3: you've actually lost the plot. Now you have an imaginary
Speaker 3: conversations with me about questions I didn't ask, yes, I
Speaker 3: am thank you what anyway, I just don't pray that
Speaker 3: I get in front of you at a car park.
Speaker 3: I'm going to take I'm going to balls it up
Speaker 3: on posing. Just give me a second to.
Speaker 5: Get out and.
Speaker 3: Give me another one drives me inside Christian podcast Christian,
Speaker 3: I'm with Patsy.
Speaker 2: This is reversing into car spots.
Speaker 3: Is something new. No, it's not. It's not new. It's
Speaker 3: something new and it's for those who can't drive. It
Speaker 3: takes forever. I'm with you, Patsy. Why it's mostly a
Speaker 3: male thing, I will never understand it. That's from Jen.
Speaker 3: We've actually got calls. People feel very strongly on this, Patsy, John,
Speaker 3: good morning.
Speaker 6: They're not going to do it in the car park.
Speaker 6: They do it in their drive ways of time to
Speaker 6: and it just makes it it's frustrating, like and I
Speaker 6: can't even do it in one go with three or
Speaker 6: four goals and everyone's just looking in it and it's
Speaker 6: just frustrating. And it's time and streaming. And I've grown
Speaker 6: with Petsy. It is just for us driving thing.
Speaker 3: John, Thank you very much. Give us a cool buddy.
Speaker 3: Thanks having saying have a nice week. Can let's go
Speaker 3: to a Karen.
Speaker 1: It's illegal to drive into a car park.
Speaker 2: It's not, is it?
Speaker 1: If you reverse out of the car park and hit
Speaker 1: a car, which I have been the victim of the
Speaker 1: person that reverses into your car is legally liable for damages.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair enough.
Speaker 1: It is also legal to reverse out of your driveway.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's I don't think that's I don't think
Speaker 3: that's it's a law about that.
Speaker 2: We'll be talking in the driving tests. Surely.
Speaker 1: No. My father reversed out of a driveway and hit.
Speaker 2: A car is in prison.
Speaker 3: That's what I told you seven ten years that car
Speaker 3: out one.
Speaker 5: Day, Karen, if that is true?
Speaker 3: Can verify this all right, Karen's gone, Joe. Yes, I'm good, buddy, Joe.
Speaker 3: What do you reckon? They're reversing into a our parking spot.
Speaker 7: I'm with past one hundred percent. It frustrates the hell
Speaker 7: out of me because what she said, a lot of
Speaker 7: them can't even do it. So most of the time
Speaker 7: I'm sitting there waiting and I just want to get
Speaker 7: out of the car and tell them old thought for you,
Speaker 7: because you're hopeless. So anyone out that it's twisting that
Speaker 7: does it?
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Joe, You go, Joe, Joe, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Have a nice we care mate. I'll try now.
Speaker 3: Okayta, you're a drive instructor. I am a dry I
Speaker 3: already want to hear your teake on this.
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 8: Chris is actually right? It is safer to reverse park
Speaker 8: into a spot because you can eyeball it before you
Speaker 8: actually get into it, and because of the way that
Speaker 8: your car pivots, it's safer than to drive out, and
Speaker 8: it doesn't take as many bites to drive out as
Speaker 8: it does to actually get in. And I agree there
Speaker 8: are some people that struggle to do it, But if
Speaker 8: you watch people reversing out of spots, they take a
Speaker 8: lot more because they've got to position their car to
Speaker 8: get the bond at part out without hitting the cars
Speaker 8: decide them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, see, Patsy, that's the thing I reckon. You're going
Speaker 5: to get the slow reverse one way or an other,
Speaker 5: whether it's in or out, So why does it matter
Speaker 5: if they do it?
Speaker 2: And yeah, they're very cautious. That's a lot.
Speaker 3: It's all about the pivot. I'm a Mechada and this
Speaker 3: it all comes down to the pivot.
Speaker 8: Yeah. When that other caller, Karen, I think we're saying
Speaker 8: that it's illegal to reverse. She's sort of right. It's
Speaker 8: not illegal to park front end, but anytime you're reversing,
Speaker 8: if you hit something, then that is the part that
Speaker 8: actually becomes illegal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're liabel, you're fault.
Speaker 8: It's incumbent on the person who's reversing to make sure
Speaker 8: that it's safe to do so. And if you have
Speaker 8: to look, those car parks in shopping centers now are
Speaker 8: a lot tighter than what they have been in the past,
Speaker 8: and our cars are a bit bigger as well. You
Speaker 8: don't have a lot of room to think, so you're
Speaker 8: watching corners and all the rest of it to try
Speaker 8: and make sure that you're not hitting front corners and stuff,
Speaker 8: and people are struck trying to get past because they're
Speaker 8: too impatient to sit there while people.
Speaker 2: Do you know a couple you know, just.
Speaker 5: Drivers curse all right, leaning down on the horn. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well, I think if you're going, if you're driving with
Speaker 8: this mindset that other people can't drive and it's frustrating you,
Speaker 8: then you need to take a breath as well, because
Speaker 8: you're actually putting your top under a lot of.
Speaker 3: Stress that you take a breath right now.
Speaker 2: Just take a breath, Patsy, take a breath.
