If that's a basic skill not possible for them...maybe those folks shouldn't be driving?

What do they do when cars/carts are blocking some of the spaces, so they aren't able to drive across all of the lanes...come back later for their mail?
Some might just be thinking only of themselves, yes, but there are some who might just have neck or back issues and are unable to make the body turns necessary to safely back their cart. Probably more dangerous for someone to just back up without turning than to make the maneuver that can be a short inconvenience for others. We all age, our capabilities change, and in many cases, our patience level changes, too. It's frustrating to wait, but someday we could be the one causing the inconvenience.
