Daniel Craig is clueless about parking his car
London, Feb 7 (ANI): New Bond Daniel Craig might be an ace at handling a gun, but it seems that he's having a bit of a problem handling his new car - especially when it comes to parking it.
The British star recently bought a 2.5-TON Cadillac Escalade that, with a measure of 161/2-ft, is one of the largest 4x4s in America.
However, now that he's bought the car, Craig is having a huge problem parking the vehicle, much to the amusement of his Hollywood neighbours.
The star has been leaving his wheels jutting out at crazy angles or bumped up on the pavement, revealed on neighbour.
"I've driven past it three times recently parked awkwardly - hanging off the pavement. It's become a real talking point in Hollywood," The Sun quoted the resident, as saying.
As to why Craig's neighbours are having such a good time watching him struggle to park his monster of a car, well that's because it makes him 'human' in the eyes of all the other men who happen to be a bit intimidated by the actor's action man reputation.
"Daniel has a reputation as a proper action man so it is funny to think that he's struggling to park. It appears that he's human after all," the neighbour said. (ANI)

Actually, he must be able to drive a manual as 99% of driving tests in the UK are taken in a stick shift. If you do happen to pass your test in a car with an automatic gearbox you are then only licensed to drive an auto - you can't drive a manual.

He's a good guy, I like his acting even in the new 007.
As far as driving, take lessons at one of those performance driving schools...then he can do his own driving stunts like Paul Walker.
