A shopping centre in China's Hebei province has built a car park with wider spaces that it says is designed especially to suit women drivers.

The women-only car park in Shijiazhuang city is also painted in pink and light purple to appeal to female tastes.

Official Wang Zheng told AFP news agency the car park was meant to cater to women's "strong sense of colour and different sense of distance".

The parking bays are one metre (3ft) wider than normal spaces, he said.

The Wanxiang-Tiancheng shopping centre had also "installed signs and security monitoring equipment that corresponded more to women's needs", he said.

The Global Times website says female parking attendants have been trained to help guide women drivers into their parking spaces. The bays also have extra lighting.

Driving in China is a dangerous activity, with more than 200 deaths in road accidents each day last year, AFP reports, citing police statistics.

I thought this was satire when my friend sent it to me, but it is a reality.  Then I imagined what it would be like to drive in a country where half the people on the road are Asian women, and I thought the 200 deaths a day figure was pretty under reported.

Would the officer kindly note in his report that I was shocked to discover that the other driver was an Asian woman...

Oh, please. 

Like Chinese men can't figure out that a Chinese Fire Drill is all that's needed to keep the vehicle safe while parked ...

I just bought this and then I noticed that all the roads in Texas were widened just for me.

Ill never forget the time detroit came home from work and colorfully described his near death experience on I 95, and the driver... a black man in an SUV, counting his money.

I still maintain black women and white suburban moms are the worst drivers.

Three.

1 - A pot hole at 2 am on a non-lit street in Fishtown split my bumper in half.

2 - A dumb suburban soccer mom rear ended me on a rainy day in center city, cracked bumper

3 - a dumb suburban driver in a Dodge Ram ran a red light and T boned me in the suburbs, scary experience. Needed entire new side panel.

I think I'm in the clear on who is at fault here!

I like driving 100 mph down the wrong side of the street with a beer in my cup holder and a loaded gun in the center console.

Amazingly enough,

I have driven OVER 1,000,000 miles with no reported accidents.

Evidently, getting into a wreck with yourself doesn't count.

Clearly, you have not been in enough taxis.

Yes,  have. Driven by black men, who are third in my book of most horrific drivers.

In season 4 of Top Gear they raced an Aston Martin on a curved path in England against a train on a straight path in England. As we all know from James Bond, Aston Martins come with machine guns in the corners, so apart from the beer you almost have kindred motorists.

First of all it wasn't "Season 4". Secondly that's just the kind of annoying, stupid stunt that puts me off the show.

Oh, lah di dah. I haven't made a study of the show clearly.
I've liked what I've seen but I don't know the particulars.
I agree that was a pretty weak episode.

I  just like it because they're funny. But they over dramatise things sometimes, well a lot, and that gets old.

Oh yeah and James may is cute.

I like when they do stupid stuff to cars because if you gave me a super car and told me I could do whatever I wanted with it, that's exactly what I would do.
