Parking in Europe

Smart Car Parked by Canal

Reverse Parking on the Edge of a Canal?! Wow!

Most of Europe’s cities weren’t initially designed for the motorcar, forcing drivers to zoom through narrow alleys and squeeze into ridiculously small parking lots by the street.

Then came the car that seemed almost perfect for these cities, Swatch and Daimler-Benz came together and created the Smart Car. (Triva: Smart is an Acronym for Swatch Mercedes ART)

This car could fit into spaces even stunt drivers could not shove a 206 into, its ability to park ‘straight-into’ lots that would otherwise require parallel parking was just amazing.

But this Dutch driver is obviously pushing the limits of what the car’s designers intended.
