ONE local has revealed how they save a parking space in their neighbourhood with an ingenious solution.
Having no parking outside you home can make you leave you feeling frustrated after getting home from a busy day at work.
But one motorist has come up with an ingenious hack to save a space with another car - one which can be picked up and lifted out of the way.
The tip sees the motorist park their child's ride-on mini motor in one of the parks outside their home and in their driveway.
The cars are a favourite of toddlers, who can imitate their parents and drive in a safe area.
The humorous clip was posted by account OakiBespoki where he shows his child's toy car in several different parking spaces.

His lucky child has a bright pink Mini with white racing stripes - so anyone looking to steal a park will not miss the small motor.
The 12 second clip plays the Dr Dre song Still D.R.E over the footage, while some on screen text reads: "How to save a parking space in the neighbourhood!"
The post also used the caption: "Life. Parking problem solved."
OakiBespoki's fans gave their thoughts on whether they thought the hack would work.
One said: "Nice try but it would be treated as dumped trash."
Another said: "Can’t park there mate ! Dave Davidson will let your tyres down lol."
While a third posted: "Not when im around!! rubbish."
Meanwhile, another motorist has revealed their hack to prevent others from stealing their parking spot.
They use a white car made from Styrofoam to sit in their parking space inside a multi-storey car park.
But fans wondered what they driver would do with the life-sized model when they did return with their actual car.
Another jilted motorist who had lost their spot took revenge in an smart way.
A mum blocked in a driver who parked outside her house by moving her motor within inches of the car to prove a point.

The clip, shared on TikTok, shows how she pulled two cars up extremely tight to the motor across the grass from her home.
"Good luck getting out,” she added.
What is the parking space law in the UK?
An occupier of a space or a waiting driver could be breaking the law.
A driver who behaves aggressively and tries to intimidate a standing person could be liable for dangerous driving.
If they are found to be liable they could be facing a £1,000 fine.
A pedestrian who is proven to be a "nuisance" by blocking a space can also find themselves in trouble.
A nuisance parking offender can be issued a £100 fixed penalty notice according to the government website.
However, it is legal to simply stand in a parking space.
You can stand there until your car or a friend's car arrives and fills the gap, whether or not another driver believes differently.
However, the situation can easily get complicated.
