Watch Drivers Perform Ridiculous Maneuver To Protect Parking Space

City parking is already a nightmare at the best of times.

Drivers are impatient and spaces are few, particularly at this time of year when many are coming into town for festive shopping.

But think yourself lucky if you’ve never had to deal with drivers like these.

The above video, filmed on a dash cam, shows two drivers going to extreme lengths to stop someone taking a space.

Aleksandr, 26, was waiting patiently alongside a line of parked vehicles on Tillary Street in Brooklyn, New York, on December 8.

As the video shows, a red Nissan Pathfinder then pulls in front of his car.

You can hear the driver of a parked blue Mazda asking Aleksandr to move his car back.

He refuses saying he has been waiting politely for the space. But instead he is told: “This is family, I’m giving her my spot.”
