Why is it that people lack the inability to reverse their cars mostly new ones and 4x4s??????

Question

I live in a small village and the roads are lanes. The ex townies have moved into our village and the 4x4s and mercs and audis, but these cars seem to have been made without a reverse gear. Why is this? By the time they have discovered that they do possess a backward gear I have reversed up to a passing place and saved them the bother because when they do reverse they havent got a clue how to do it anyway. Its driving me nuts!!!!!!!! Maybe it should be a part of passing your test.

Answer 1

a sign of the times we are all being reduced to the minium so the nut cases can fit in.

Answer 2

They have the lack of understanding first how to use their vehicles and second the full understand of the rules of the road and I see it everyday, drive safe.

Answer 3

If your are saying that they lack the INability ro reverse their cars, that means they are ABLE to reverse

Answer 4

Aside from laziness, a lot of people get these big vehicles and don't have a clue how to manipulate them in tight places because the vehicles themselves have so many blind spots and are too large to see around from the driver's seat.  If you're going to drive a road hog, you should know how to control it in any direction and have double the courtesy because they are the ones causing the problem.

Answer 5

I also live in the Country, and it always surprises me that the big 4 x 4's and other large off road vehicles are the ones that come down the middle of the road and force me to drive off road.....now why is that?

Answer 6

sadly it is part of the test,

i think it is lazyness more than anythig else

i drive a lorry so reversing is a well needed skill

i have had to reverse for half a mile before due to people parking in a turning space but had no issues with it

some people are just lacking in skill due to lack of practice through lazyness

Answer 7

So you drive around in reverse all day? Bloody marvelous!

Answer 8

Its because with their new shiney car or 4x4 they get a license to own that specific stretch of road and you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING ON THERE LAND! lol "Get owf ma laaand Peasant!" :0)
