Common sense requires that the rules of the road apply equally to all motorists. Unique accommodations for such common aspects of city driving like parallel parking (http://www.cardealexpert.com/news-information/auto-news/easy-parking-for-women-triberg/) simply are not made. Unless you are in the German Black Forest city of Triberg, that is. However, cue groans over sexist policy now.
Triberg mayor Gallus Strobel believes that this move was necessary, because “men are better at parking than women.” However, denies accusation of sexism.

"In the new car park we found that two place were not rectangular, at an angle to the road and placed between walls and pillars; that makes parking difficult so we decided to allocate them to men," the 58 year-old mayor told Germany's (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany) Spiegel magazine.
But, he added, that there were great women drivers, and all women were welcome to try and park in the men-only spaces. Mr Strobel, who denies accusations of sexism, also pointed out that 10 spaces were reserved for women as opposed to just two for men.
Sounds like he's in bed with repair companies. He knows women will be pigheaded enough to try to get in the difficult spots and end up needing repairs.:lol:
