The scary thing is once they leave the car park they start driving faster.
What as the guy who put a brick on his accelerator even thinking?

They're all amazing but especially number 10 as they hit the same car three times. | ||

I love the X5 that drives onto the bonnet's of the two cars, reverses back and drives off, fantastic. | ||

Some of those make you laugh till you cry, whereas others make you shout at the screen with disbelief that they were ever able to obtain a driving license! | ||

One of the reeversing ones reminds me of a lady in Sainsbury's th other day.
People seem incapable of reverse parking so they drive front ways into a spot, this lady was lining herself up to drive straight in but to enable her to do so she reversed perfectly into the space opposite and then drove straight into the space she was aiming for, ehh, why not just leave your car in the space that you had reversed into!! |

One of my funniest and most frustrating car park incidents was with my ex driving. She pulled into a sparsely occupied car park and got completely stressed out trying to decide where to park, I think she parked 3 or 4 times before settling. I know she'd have been fine if there was just one car parking space, she'd just have parked and that would have been that, but oh...the choice!!!
Part of me wanted to crease up laughing while I also wanted to cry in frustration. I kept a straight face but She was nearly in tears. |

If she was planning to buy a trolley load of stuff, it's a lot easier to have the boot/hatch of the car accessible to load it. |

There's at least 3 of those I've done myself. | ||

Indeed, it is enough sometimes to make me reconsider my "reverse into parking spaces ONLY policy..." as it is I have resorted to pulling the car forward when we return with the trolley!

The plonker who drops the RR Sport into a pond is possibly my favourite. Along with the chap who gets out and parks the other driver's car for them - who hasn't found themselves in a situation where they've wanted to do that!?! | ||

Hopefully not the X5 onto other cars, and the rang rover into the ice..... |

I had to reverse a (female) colleague's car out of a tight(ish) works car park once. She simply wasn't able to understand which way to turn the steering wheel whilst travelling backwards, and got herself progresively into a tighter spot, until one more attempt was going to remove paint from her and at least one other company car. After I'd got her car out, she was laughing nervously. I said I didn't know what was fucking funny about not being able to drive, yet being in possession of a full license, and drove off in my own car. She didn't speak to me for ages after that. |

You old charmer, you!

What amazes me is that these idiots have the cheek to just drive off once they've finally stopped wreaking havok. I hope the CCTV evidence helps them get their comeuppance. Still, bloody funny! | ||

Quite impressed by the apparent lack of damage to the Merc in clip 3 (I think it is), despite the complete removal of the barrier and mechanism! | ||

turns out this was at a fitness club in Thornhill (north toronto),a 62 yr old giffer has been arrested and charged with leaving the scene, though to my mind , should also be charged with many other things as well..... http://www.educationforthedriving...arker-in-richmond-hill-viral.html |

That's seriously good PR for them though. Probably doubled their sales figures!

I hope the BMW driver was given one of those Chinese X5 rip-off SUVs as punishment.
Fantastic customer service from Hyundai, they've probably just secured themselves a customer for life. |

Their representative is called "Barb Pitblado".....now that's one scary name! | ||
