This Has Got to Be the Worst Parallel Parking Job You’ve Ever Seen

Jan. 26, 2013 7:15pm Erica Ritz

Parallel parking is no easy task; even veteran drivers tend to avoid it if they can. That’s why, when faced with the prospect on an icy, uphill road, it might be better to circle the block once more.

Jalopnik describes a video uploaded to YouTube yesterday:

He’s clearly aiming for a parallel parking spot down the street, but he just needs some room to get his bearings. So what if he rams into a wagon and a few other cars along the way? You gotta break some eggs to make an omelette and all that.

Luckily for us, the whole incident was caught on some kind of dash cam video, so we can observe his incredible driving skills for ourselves.

Step 1, white car speeds up an icy hill:

Step 2, white car careens down the hill in reverse, bumping into another vehicle on the way:

Step 3, white car continues to ricochet into other vehicles, sending off alarms in its rapid slide down the hill:

“At least that car ended up finding a pretty good spot to park…” the video’s YouTube description optimistically reads. “That’s why you should put on winter tires!”

Watch the entire video, via Jalopnik, for the full effect:

I love how the car’s alarm didn’t kick-in until the second collision down the street! LOL!

Now that I live in snow country, moved to Ohio from So. Calif., I have wondered why the people out here don’t take precautions with ice and snow. If the roads are icy, I won’t drive because I don’t have the proper tires. I bought myself a pair of strap on cleats for my shoes. I have yet to slip on ice while wearing them. So simple yet I don’t see anyone using things like this out here. Very weird.

  Welcome to the Midwest. Most people in Ohio grew up in that weather and know how to walk in it. That is why you don’t see it. Don’t worry you will get used to it too.

Russia? It’s mostly flat in the west, but gets hilly towards the Ural mountains.

It’s in Europe. Look at the license plates. One thing I have noticed about that region…none of them can drive yet everyone of them have dash cams. Perhaps there’s a correlation?

Oops! It looks like someone didn’t park with their wheels pointed at the curb when they parked on a hill.
Happens to tourists in SanFrancisco all the time.

If you want to watch even more of these videos go to youtube and search for CarCrash2012. There are at least 100 car crash compilations there.

Notice that the cars are parked on the street in both directions? Is it any wonder that SHE was confused? HaHaHa

  Hi RJJ,
  
  Do you recognize the foreign license plates?

  Hi MONK, No, can’t say that I do. The German plates have changed since I was there, but the structure of the building to the right would look right for Germany but also a number of countries in the area. Its definitely not Belgium, their plates are much smaller, and were red on white when I was there. Also, not France. Sorry, that I’m not much help.
