China opens 'women only' car park
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.

If anybody needs help being guided into parking spots that often that they need attendants then maybe they should be on the road in the first place.

My cousin and her husband lived in Iwakuni, Japan for 2.5 years (military family). She never had an accident (knock on wood), but she said the people over there drive like bats out of Hades, and will NOT stop at stop lights. Do they know what a stop light is? I'm not sure. Anyways, while running red lights they would beep the horn while running from intersection to intersection. Idiots!
