Man in a Fiat 500 Causes a Huge Mess while Trying to Move his Car in Italy


Besides being pretty and all, one of the other main reasons why Fiat's 'Nuovo' 500 is so popular in Europe is its small footprint that allows drivers to easily navigate through narrow roads and have a better chance at finding a parking space in crowded cities.

Yet an older man in a Fiat 500 somehow managed to wreak havoc on a street in the Italian town of Cardito, located about 14 kilometers or 9 miles northeast of Naples.

BMW Driver Discovers that You Cant's go Too Far with a Clamper on Your Wheel…


No one likes to see their car clamped down, regardless if they deserve it or not, but once it happens, the only other thing you can really do besides paying the ticket is to complain about it.

Well, at least these are the options for someone rational, because you could always defy logic and attempt something stupid like drive away with one of your wheels locked in the clamp, which is precisely what an elderly man from Dublin, Ireland, tried to do in a BMW 5-Series Touring (E39).

Jeep Driver is Having an Unexplainable Hard Time Backing Out of This Parking Spot


Granted, the Jeep Commander isn't a small vehicle, but at 188.5 inches (4,788 mm) long, the crossover isn't huge either, which makes it kind of tough to explain why this driver is having such a hard time backing out of the parking space.

As is almost always the case with people filming these type of incidents, the men behind the camera are far more concerned about cracking a joke than going out to help the woman who is clearly struggling to move her car…

When it comes to vehicles that are abandoned or parked illegally, most municipalities will issue tickets with the hope that owners will pay up and conform to the law, but sometimes, more drastic measures are called for.

In Russia, for example, some cities have no problem taking matters into their own hands and settling the problem once and for all, giving owners a tough lesson.

Cheeky Grandma Has Her Revenge on Car Parked on the Sidewalk


Sidewalks were made for pedestrians to walk on and not for drivers to park their cars, but some people just can't seem to comprehend this simple concept.

An older woman (possibly in Russia), has her own way of punishing owners of cars who insist on leaving their vehicles on the pavement, and which includes some, let's just say, nasty sounds similar to those that irk youngsters at school (or at least they did before the age of screens)…

Road Accident Leads to an Almost Perfect 180-Degree Parking Job


If only the blue-colored SUV was parked a few feet ahead we could have been talking about an unbelievable outcome in this accident.

What we see in this dash-cam video (likely sourced from Russia) is a driver of a Subaru Legacy Station Wagon speeding and not paying attention to the road while trying to change lanes.

VW Golf Cabriolet Driver Gives Ferrari F430 a Bump for its Money

In this video, which may have been filmed somewhere in France (judging by the license plates), a man in an older generation Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet has found himself in a tight parking squeeze between a BMW X3 and a Ferrari F430.

There are some telltale signs that you shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car like when you're getting ready to insert a ticket into the machine but somehow end up smashing into and breaking a parking gate.

And on top of that, you then have a hard time placing your vehicle in the correct spot to reach the machine.

Man Lands Rental BMW X5 Atop Jaguar XJ and Mercedes E-Class


A 74-year-old man launched his rental 2012 BMW X5 SUV through some cable wires and into the air before literally landing onto a 2005 JagWire Jaguar XJ and a 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan in a looped parking garage in Chicago.

The man said that he hit the gas pedal instead of the brake by mistake. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but all three cars sustained at least some kind of damages.
