New York driver parallel parks car in very small spot

Parking is hard to find in New York City, which may be why some drivers can squeeze their cars into ridiculously tight roadside spots.

This driver was caught on CCTV recently putting on a parallel parking clinic in the Bushwick neighbourhood of Brooklyn.

While the spot may initially look too small, the driver makes about 20 turns to manoeuvre the sedan between a minivan and an SUV.

He or she returns several hours later and removes the car the same way as no one parked on either side of the silver car had moved.

"I was leaving for work the other day and notices a parked car that was boxed in tight," says the tipster who sent in the video to the Gothamist. "It was gone that night when I came home, but the cars in front and back were still there. Curious, I checked the security camera."

While many of the Internet are calling it the greatest parallel parking job ever, it does appear the driver lightly taps both the minivan and the SUV each time he or she goes back and forth. The owners of either of those other two vehicles probably wouldn't be happy to see this video.

The driver has not been identified, but Gothamist writes on their blog they may have a hunch who he or she is.

FAIL. The driver bumped both cars during their million-point maneuver.

You should visit Paris one day. No one drives there with a brand new car and there's a good reason for that! That kind of things in that video are very common there. It's the only way to be able to get parking space in the city centre of Paris actually

I'm very glad to live where I do. I can drive in city traffic if I must, but I'd rather not. As for parallel parking - definitely not a strong suit!
