"E" For Elbox!

Luckily until the enterprise solution comes into play I have my bp elbox defensive driving course to fall back on, sadly the only part of which I remember is that reversing into your parking spot saves petrol! I can't quite understand exactly how my defensive driving course actually helped me, how can reversing in, save anymore than reversing out? In an act of open rebellion I park front on everytime and completely ignore the supposed sequence for turning corners!

At least I save more than my neighbour who has perfected a 35 point turn every time she parks, which she always ends up doing 2 milimetres from my drivers door rendering it unusable, when the other neighbour then dumps his humvee (its not really a humvee just one of those dopey huge 4x4s that need 2 parking bays and the drivers are always 5 foot tall) cheek to cheek with my other door, I'm left with sunroof entry as my only option should I want to use my motor vehicle. I've had the sunroof connected to the central locking as a pop up, now I can flop myself head first into the driving seat. I , of course have the option of calling either neighbour out to move their inconsiderately parked vehicles, but, the lady could talk for England and midget lad is the worlds most boring man, 5 years running, one more and he gets to keep the trophy!He talks to me about engine parts and d.i.y. projects, 5 minutes in and I want to faint with the strain of politely feigning interest .....So you see my batman like entry is infinitely preferable.

The elbox, of course, mentioned none of this when I did my 'virtual drive'. That went swimmingly apart from the 37 attempts to successfully round a corner! 'In which sequence should you make a left hand turn' it asked.... there were about 5 options, I tried every permutation of the 5 37 times like I said, then, miraculously, after I'd invented several rather interesting new swear words, turned a rather unattractive shade of blue (I looked like a short Avatar) and was poised with the thing above my head ready to introduce it to the wall, I got it right and was all of a sudden a defensively qualified bp driver! .

It saddens me however, that, no matter how many millions of people successfully turn a corner, none LITERALLY NONE of them do it in the bloody prescribed sequence.
