Parking is one of the maneuvers that some drivers hate the most, especially when it comes to parking in a space that is just right to place the vehicle. In these cases it is convenient to calculate very well the position of the car and the angles of rotation so that the task can be completed without generating a stress situation that ends up aborting the operation. Surely, on more than one occasion, we have seen motorists who, after several failed attempts, and with the nerves of hindering the movement of other users, decide to find another place to leave the car.
The maneuver to unpark may be easier, although this is not always the case. The problem comes, for example, when there is little space to move the car in a parallel parking lot. It is possible that the driver left it just fine, but other vehicles parked afterward were too close and reduced the space available. So, to be able to remove it, a large number of movements must be made. And this is what the protagonist of the tiktok video that has gone viral has had to do.
In just four days it has achieved 1.2 million "likes" and more than 6,300 comments, the vast majority applauding the young woman's ability to complete the task, on a street in Washington (United States), without hitting the front car and rear. Although it may seem like a trifle, it is important to note that she hardly touches the other bodies. It is not so easy to control the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal when there are so few centimeters of margin.
In situations like this, some people end up hitting cars so hard that they are thrown around. In fact, there are comments on the post that expressly refer to it: "I wouldn't have a problem hitting the bumpers (unless it damaged my car)" or "I had to do this once, and I definitely hit the bumpers because they shouldn't." parked so close."
Instead, the skilled driver does not. Of course, she needs a total of ten turns of the steering wheel to be able to get out and continue the march. Some users detract from it by saying that with parking assistance systems this is easy; however, being so close to the two cars, it is possible that the audible alert from this technological aid could be more of a nuisance than anything else.
The most popular comments applaud the young woman's ability to drive: "Wow, she did very well", "I would have been crying until one of the other two cars had left", "I would have called insurance assistance because I couldn't have gotten it out” or “I would have called my dad to come save me, my hands would be sweaty and my legs would be shaking”.
In our country, the police can fine drivers who, in parking spaces located on the street, have parked their car too close to the neighbor. Municipal ordinances are the ones that regulate this. In the case of Soria or Madrid, it specifies that "Parking will be carried out in such a way that it allows the execution of entry and exit maneuvers and allows the best use of the remaining space for other users".
