    Inattention yes. Reversing without using those 3 reflecty things called mirrors or even the basic of sticking my head out the window and looking to see what I'm reversing into no.

    If the driver really did just miss his driveway and was reversing up to have another crack he really did display a very special level of incompetence and maybe he should be on a bicycle because he certainly doesn't possess the skills to handle a 2 tonne machine.

    Doubt he could handle a bicycle, especially in reverse. And would have no mirrors to use.

    That's why he bought a Discovery, no driver input ended
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Mate, knock the one that started it on the head too. It's not about religion per se but who knows ... At some future point in time someone might dig up the thread in a search, stumble in that post, and kickstart unpleasantness.
