Fair warning! This is extremely painful to watch, and if you are like me, you'll be yelling and shaking the computer monitor!!! LOL



The police located her and for all of that, she only received a $115 traffic ticket!    Personally I think their license should have been suspended and they should have had to go to traffic school and retake their driver's test:

I saw this earlier and laughed my butt off, then I thought about it some more. At the very least she needs to get her eyes examined!

What the hell was she thinking ???? :confused:

I don't know about having her eyes tested more like her brain tested :nod:

That first car was lucky he got out of there before she rear-ended him too. Although she had ALL that space after he left... what was she thinking??

I couldn't watch very much of it either, it was entirely too frustrating to watch.  I wonder if the guy who left was watching and decided to move his car before it got hit.  I am not real good at parking and tight spots but that is really ridiculous, that wasn't even a tight spot.

What on earth??  This is why I wonder why people don't BACK INTO SPACES.  It's so much easier to pull out from a space that to back out. Although she had a world of room there.

Other way round for me. It's much easier for me to back out of spaces. Of course, it's easier to pull out, but it's harder to back into spaces than it is to back out of spaces for me. 

Same goes for parallel parking. Harder for me to back into the space, then to park parallel by the front.

  I warned you guys about it being painful to watch!  LOL   The parking lot was practically EMPTY!  All she had to do was back up a little, turn her wheels to the left and drive out.


I voted that as my #1 video of 2014!

She didn't look very good at backing up, so I doubt she could have backed into the spot either.

I refuse to parallel park if I don't have to. I hate even trying (and I have a rear camera in my car and still won't do it). It makes Rick spastic, but parellel parking is just annoying and I just won't do it.

That video made me cringe. She would back up, but not turn her wheels! No wonder she wasn't getting anywhere. That is a person who does not even deserve a driver's license. At all.

If the person is a new driver, I'll give her a pass. If not. . .yikes! :eek:

. . .Although I look almost like that when trying to parallel park between 2 cars :anon:. Just the other day I managed to get sort of into a spot but not far enough, so then I tried to get out and. . .yeah. It wasn't pretty :lol3:. I don't know how people manage that.

I don't  have any problem backing into a space, it's one thing I'm pretty good at.  I won't even attempt parallel parking though.  I usually look for the spots where I can actually pull through to the other side so I can drive out, even if I have to park a lot further away from the store.  I have no trouble backing out of a space, but it's hard to see around the big fat SUVs and trucks and people drive like  nuts through parking lots.  I was hit by a guy backing out of a parking space right into me, didn't even pay attention when I honked the horn, just kept right on coming and I couldn't get out of the way.
