Sorry but I have to disagree, most of the 4x4's are up higher and sit squarer than cars and the driver has a better view and I think they're better at judging their size. The lower the car and the more worn the driver's seat, the more likely the driver is to be peering up through the steering wheel and guessing the size of the space, often squinting and looking like they have their eyes shut!
Toureman, stand outside any junior school just before the end of the school day. There is great amusement to be had watching some of the 4x4 drivers park up.
it all depends on the capabilities of the driver not the vehicle
if the driver is a crap driver then his/her driving standards will be low
and vice versa for supposedly good drivers
I drive large vehicles and see a lot of stupid stunts by various makes and sizes of vehicles and from what I've seen the majority of them would never pass their driving test again
"...doing huge swings out to the right before attempting left turns and so on." Well my vade mecum of sex for the younger man suggests precisely the same manoeuvres.
