If you are a senior and are required to parallel park..this is how it is done. If you're not, save this and watch it when you become one. ......................

Do You Bruce ????? "BOY" you sure are a worry. Mind you I've driven through some of the towns that you have seen lately myself and it doesn't surprise me in the least,
Had a ride in a Sydney Taxi way back in the mid 60's, this clown drove just like that old lady, couldn't find a parking space to let us out, so he made one by pushing a parked car ahead forward, then backing into the one behind, thought nothing of it, just part of a days work he said !!!

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.
The man replies, "I am on my way to attend a lecture about gambling, hookers, alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking, and staying out late."
The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"
The man replies, "My wife."

Haha - I assume you found the tyre marks in the main streets from the ute as I got into my carpark Jim.
We had a similar situation with a Sydney taxi driver in the 70s when we were coming from the airport to our hotel. We had a prang on a roundabout just out of the airport and jumped out and got into a fight with the other driver. We phoned the police who turned up quickly. Both the taxi and other driver got locked up and we got a free ride in another police car to our hotel. It was a real welcome to Sydney airport !!!

Sydney taxi drivers !!!! That's a whole new topic.
Got seriously lost going from the airport to the Darling Harbour Convention Centre. Driver had no idea where or what it was. Thought that would have been a easy journey for a Sydney taxi.
After a horrifying start with a crazy Asian driver, we offered him a big tip if he drove sanely and didn't kill us. We'd already drawn straws to see who sat in the front after a previous experience.
On the plus side, the two best taxi drivers I've ever encountered were in Sydney.

"Yep" the stories of Taxis here in Perth is getting better by the day,
Since the invention of Uber ( https://www.uber.com/ ) the mob who use Private cars at a fraction of the cost of regular Taxi's ,
there has been a regular Bun fight going on between those two, on the streets and in the courts.
