Having seen women maneuver baby strollers between the displays at KMart at Christmas, I can believe this. Easily.

"The hardest part was parking an articulated lorry, said Langer. For that round, “women had to wear platform shoes and men high heels,” she added."

Holy Moses, now that's a handicap.

"By way of advice, Langer could only recommend practising. “Just try it out, and when a gap is too small, pull out.” "

Not going to touch that line with a ten-foot Pole, German, or Swede, thank you very much.

The "story" linked actually explained that fairly well ... frum the headline, I wuz under the impression that there were only eight people in Europe who can actually park a vehicle properly ... not that I'm suggestin' that ANY European drivers actually DO park vehicles accordin' to sum sorta plan ...

(a 3 meter pole, since it is European)

“Just try it out, and when a gap is too small, pull out.”

It may be useful advice and a new concept for women drivers, but most men live by that rule.
