Driver Does 31-Point Parallel Park To Get Her Car Into Parking Spot

A struggling motorist performed a 31-point parallel park while trying to get her compact Toyota Aygo into a space twice its size. You can see the attempt here:

The woman spent seven minutes 25 seconds attempting to park her 11ft long car into the 21ft space - but she got there in the end and that's the main thing, isn't it?

Security footage from Streatham in London captured the woman attempting to drive forward into the gap before deciding on a different course of action and backing into it, which she also doesn't manage.

At one point she comes very close to reversing into a car that is parked behind the space, despite having plenty of room.

After seven-long and frustrating minutes she finally manages it and gets the vehicle parked up. Wonderful.

After footage of the woman was shared online by the woman's neighbour, social media users were left reeling by the parking disaster with one person commenting: "I drive one, and they have a reversing camera - so it makes it even worse."

While someone else wrote: "To think someone gave them a licence, said it many times the UK driving test is way too easy and not long enough."

However not everyone stuck the boot in, one person commended her for not giving up, writing: "She might be a new driver, at least she didn't give up and got there in the end."

The bloke who posted it added: "She doesn't drive a lot, I can see why - I bet she can't park anywhere."

Meanwhile, on the other end of the parking skill spectrum, a man in New York shocked social media users after a clip of him managing to get his car out of an incredibly tight spot was shared online.

The man was caught on CCTV returning to his vehicle only to find that two other cars were now bumper-to-bumper with his.

Newsflash

Unperturbed, the fella hops in and slowly but surely inches his car out of the tight spot.

The driver in Brooklyn, NY, then goes backwards, as a few men begin to watch on the side of the road. Forwards... and backwards. Forwards. Backwards. Forwards. Backwards. Forwards. Backwards.

Forwards and... BOOM - he's out.

And, not to add insult to injury, but he managed a hell of a lot faster than the woman in the clip up there.
