Video: A pretty terrible attempt at parking on an Irish street

If at first you don’t succeed, try (and fail) and try (and fail) again…

If at first you don’t succeed, try (and fail) and try (and fail) again…

For an awful lot of drivers, trying to parallel park is like trying to complete a Rubik’s cube; some people just can’t figure it out.

Most of those drivers, however, will happily give up on attempt to fit their car into a tight space after one or two attempts and drive on in search of a space that is far easier to negotiate. Not the driver of this car, however.

We’re not sure where exactly this video was filmed – the person who sent it in was a little light on details – but we think it’s in Dublin.

What we are sure of is that the driver of the car in question should probably have given up after three or four attempts to wriggle into the space in question, or at least drove out and tried to start again from scratch.

Still, it’s far from the worst attempt at parallel parking we’ve ever seen…
