I never seen someone botch a parallel park so bad that they cause an accident on the other side of a four lane road before.

They just gave up completely, “shit might as well make this worth the deductible.”

This looks like a typical mixup of the brake and gas pedals. Panic sets in and they mash the pedal even harder. This causes a reaction where they continue to press even harder on the pedal.

My dad had to write off an good car one time because he loaned it to a friend. She apparently mixed up like this and crashed it into a concrete barrier in a parking lot.

Barely_adequate

But they were in reverse. If the mashed the pedal harder they would have gone further in reverse. They clearly stopped and shifted into drive then floored it. This was a purposeful decision on their part.

They must have been taught that when parallel parking you hold both the accelerator and the brake pedals down as far as you can and then modulate the movement by carefully lifting off a little on the brake. Not always foolproof...

I, too, enjoy doing burnouts while parallel parking.

I've learned through the years that nothing's really foolproof. Fools can be quite ingenious in coming up with new ways to fuck something up.

They stopped requiring them on road tests for getting your license (in my state) so honestly I’m not even surprised.

[deleted]

It's honestly stupid to get rid of them. It wasn't about whether you'll parallel park all the time. It's the same as why they teach you Algebra in school even if you won't use it ever. It's to test your proficiency of problem solving, and for the car what level of control you actually have over the vehicle.

This is like pouring a little bit of salt onto a meal with the salt shaker, a sprinkle or 2 through the small holes then the lid comes off.

tunghoy

I don't know if I'm the only person who does this, but when I use a salt shaker, I always press my index finger down on the lid, just in case. It comes from bartender training teaching me to do that with bottle pourers.

Oh you aren't the only one. I grip that lid hard lol

Nah, this happened in Tbilisi (Eastern Europe) he was scared after accident and mixed up gas and brake pedals. Here is better version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh7PyeVmWLY

ganjalf1991

He was in reverse. Mixing up the pedals would have caused him to go backwards again

dharrison21

He fucked it up in reverse, gave way too much gass, we see that, then threw it in drive and slammed the pedal while panicking.

How people like this function in every day life, I have no idea. Panic would never get me to just mash the gas, panic makes me slam the brake (bad on its own in other situations).

I just cant wrap my head around day to day life for people like this.

Don't floor the gas pedal while parking and you'll be fine.

pavilionhp_

I was going to say, this guy might’ve been going for the brakes but hit the gas instead

kinda_guilty

I haven't driven many car models, but mine moves slowly when in gear without pushing the accelerator, so when moving into a tight space I just regulate the speed by varying pressure on the brake pedal. So no moving between pedals at all.

ColourfulFunctor

Pretty sure all automatics work this way and that’s the smart way to park

elcaballero

You can even do this in a manual by modulating the clutch instead of the brake!
