Mayor In Germany Designates Parking Spaces For Men - Polidicks

[QUOTE=The Local]Gallus Strobel, mayor of the town of Triberg, best known for its waterfalls and cuckoo clocks, has made headlines recently for his new parking garage policy. Unlike the 12 spaces set aside for women, which are wider, well-lit, and closer to the exit, the men’s spaces require the driver to pull in at an angle, and avoid hitting cement pillars. They are an “attraction” for any ambitious driver, Strobel told the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung. “But men are, as a rule, a little better at such challenges,” he told the paper. Strobel, 58, who says he has parked in the spaces three times, admitted that “of course, there are also great women drivers!” He told the paper that when he came to the idea, he knew it would challenge “political correctness.” But he says he has received mostly positive feedback from his stunt. Strobel said that the move was good advertising for his town, and that one man emailed him saying he would travel there just to test himself at parking. Women, too, he says have put themselves to the challenge. “They are, of course, most welcome!” he told the paper.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.thelocal.de/society/20120707-43617.html[/url]

Finally I can park

Was honestly expecting some stupid policy/law/legal-thingumabob from the title. Relieved to see its a harmless joke.

Sounds like a future Top Gear challenge. Everyone needs to come up with a manly parking space challenge now.

I really want to give this a shot now :v:

I'm fuck at parking so I would park with the ladies.

This guy sounds like an awesome mayor.

There needs to be a rule that you have to approach at a speed that is no less than fifty miles an hour. And your car has to be on fire. Then it might be a challenge.

What they [I]don't[/I] tell you is the challenge spots have camera's rigged to them to take pictures of all those who fail. They then get uploaded for the world to see.

Weaving through pillars? Nice thinking of the insurance agency there, Mayor.

Seems reasonable. I guess the guy driving the little truck thing... wanted to change his oil and didn't have a pan? Storm drains are probably for oil changes anyway.

was expecting another one those great ideas germany's had, such as the united states of europe with germany being the center of power....which sounded awfully familiar
