I have no inbuilt radar like some lucky folk, no sense of direction whatsoever...once came away from Heathrow and found myself heading towards somewhereorother totally in the wrong direction.
Met a woman year's later who'd done exactly the same thing so felt much better.
I'm living proof that going wrong is far more likely in a grid system like New York where you can't tell yer arse from yer elbow

Men are more confident drivers because of social conditioning that makes women doubt themselves over everything. Believing in yourself is halfway to achieving anything.

Two days ago: A woman pulled up to park outside my house. She had stopped in completely the wrong position and there was no way she was going to reverse in. I watched her go backwards and forwards five times and end up in the same spot. Eventually, she looked like she was going to make a three point turn (which isn't good seeing the road is one way) she ended up at almost 90deg, slapped it in reverse, mounted the pavement and was millimeters away from hitting the house next door. It then took her a couple of minutes to compose herself and drive off like a rocket.
It was shocking to watch and if someone had been walking by, they would be dead or seriously injured. I felt like going out and taking her car keys away from her.
Scary.
