Brian r u for real??!!Fair enough it was a silly mistake but u can\'t say its always women u sexist pig!
The story has a slight comedy value to it seeing as nobody was injured, but if she can't notice an Asda building what are the chances she would have noticed a child running behind her car? No comedy in that.

Agree totally with Brian. Who also probably agrees with me that 25% of road accidents are caused by drunken drivers. Therefore 75% of accidents are caused by sober drivers! Ban sober drivers now!!!!!

Good ideal is to post her driving license to the DVLA (not drive)
That is wise thing to do her and any other simillar driver
