That IS priceless. ...and to think I had to do parallel parking as part of my original drivers test with the DMV guy in my parents's car with me at the wheel here in California what seems like a million years ago. Guess that isn't a requirement any longer to get your license wherever that Smartcar driver is from.

I wanted to pull my hair out watching that and I skipped forward about four times. I would have gotten everyone to clap for her once she got out of the car.

Owning a "smart" car doesn't automatically make you smart

We had a girl who parked that way in high school drivers ed. Granted, it was in a '72 Ford LTD rather than a Smart car.

That's hilarious, mostly because its a tiny Smart Car that she can't park

Any other car wouldn't have been as bad, but a Smart Car?!?!

Honestly that thing is so small she might as well have just parked it perpendicular to the curb!

That's hilarious! This was my previous favorite parallel parking video (there's no audio so it's SFW):

You're driving one of the smallest cars on the road but yet you cant park in a huge *** space. Call me sexist but she needs her damn license revoked.
