A few years ago I saw an old woman driving her car at the
grocery store. Actually I saw her parking; for about 5
minutes. She wanted to park between the lines, an
admirable goal. But she kept missing the space so she would
back up, pull forward, turn left and right. She kept on
missing by about 3-5 feet. Eventually she got it straight
and in between the lines. I swear, I'm not making this up.

I hope the woman you mentioned never had to stop in a hurry,
maybe she uses her left foot to brake.
