Neighbours always steal my parking space – so I came up with a very creative ‘solution’ to stop them

DRIVERS have been left baffled by a 'clever hack' that appears to show how to save a parking space.

The trick involves using what seems to be a sheet to give the impression that the parking space is already taken.

The TikToker posted their unique technique on social media but it's unclear whether it's a real video

Footage shared to TikTok by iam_zlu shows him holding up the sheet which has an image of a Mini Cooper on it.

The camera then pans around to reveal the sheet is being held up to hide the parking space.

However, it is unclear if the 'hack' is real or computer generated.

Viewers shared their amazement at the creative method, with one saying: "Keep it up, you are amazing."

A second user said: "Love your work."

And a third said: "Bravo."

Drivers use all sorts of ways to keep their parking spaces clear because in most cases its easier than door-knocking neighbours until the culprit is found.

This local revealed how they save a parking space in their neighbourhood with their own clever solution.

The trick sees the driver park their child's ride-on mini motor in one of the spaces outside their home and in their driveway.

The humorous clip was posted by account OakiBespoki where he shows his child's toy car in several different parking spaces.

Elsewhere this motorist - who goes by the name underratedsimpsons - revealed another hack in a clip on TikTok.

The video shows a white car made from Styrofoam sitting in a parking space inside a multi-storey car park.

The videographer walks up to the fake and films either side of it to show how large and well detailed the model motor is.

It has many of the same features that a normal sedan would include like wing mirrors, wheel arches, and door handles.

Finally, the only thing worse than struggling to find a parking space is returning to your parked car hours later and seeing a costly parking ticket attached to it.

Luckily this traffic warden has revealed the tricks their colleagues use to catch drivers out, admitting he feels sorry to issue tickets.

The official, who works for a firm contracted by a major London council, claimed that enforcement teams are "like zombies going up and down looking for cars to ticket".
