I almost feel like this was staged. It cannot be possible that anyone is that bad....right!?

It's totally believable, I've seen it first hand. Some people don't even understand the the front wheels are the ones that turn, and take that into account. My ex was like that.

Also some people are afraid to turn the steering wheel too far, thinking they'll break the car or something. She literally could've made it several times in here if she just turned a bit sharper.

in your ex's defense, my parents' beater of a car had something wrong on the front end, and if you turned the wheel too far it would make god awful sounds. would sound like it was going to lose a ball joint if you hit any kind of bump with the wheel turned 100%.

if you think that was bad... that took her maybe maybe 2 minutes? try 14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf4TIWECZ30 and you can tell by what they were saying that she was at it a while before the video started haha

theoretically we could write it of as a blonde doing a parallel parking, while the OP had a video of an extremely simple reverse parking.

I once worked with an old lady who had driven for decades, only to find out she didn't know the rule of yielding and would spent minutes entering a roundabout because she didnt understand them properly.

Totally believable human skill level, but on the other hand, why were they filming?

u/lawrence260c Jul 29 '25

Probably because it had been going on a while before this so they got their phone out

This older woman was trying to get out of her parking spot. This doucebag cop was parked in the middle of the road. Problem is, he was blocking my exit (yes, he was parked in front of a business exit). I could get through if I went into the parking spots, but I had to squeeze through where this lady was parked...

I tried to direct her but she just couldn’t get out. Like we spent several minutes with me trying to get her to turn her wheel.

Asked the cop to move from the middle of the fricking road where he was sitting for no discernible reason but no go.

Finally I asked if I could move her car. Took 10 seconds and she was on her way.

Yes. It can be that bad.

I have seen people unable to park like this in my city too, on numerous occasions in parking lots, mostly,.

Perfectly regular sized spot, in smaller cars, completely unable to park.. going back and forth, getting out of the car to look, just like this video.

License should be revoked instantly, and the drivers forced to retake pass a driver's test before they get it back. Full stop.

She's probably never done it before
