Letter: Parking for men
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: On 29 July you printed an item about women's difficulties with parking and manoeuvring a car.
Having driven my own car for 30 years I am certain the reason is the design of cars to fit men. Women, about six inches shorter, have to make do, balancing on foam cushions and still unable to see the four corners of the car. Lately someone invented for the Golf a seat with a hand-operated raiser. This is an immense improvement. If this can be extended to all cars I am sure women would manoeuvre as well as men. There is nothing so helpful as to be able to see what you are doing.
