A MAN who was fed up with a neighbour who continually parked in front of his home has now solved the problem after he "cracked the code."
Many residents suffer in silence when a neighbour starts to park in front of their home.
Many Brits just pretend to ignore it rather than fall out with a neighbour over a street parking space.
But now one resident has told how he appears to have solved the problem by hitting back.
In a post on social media he revealed how he decided to buy a banger and park it in front of their neighbour's home.
The social media post read: "You park in front of their home. My neighbour across the street parks in front of my home - which is especially irritating because the space in front of their home (and their driveway) is empty.
"But there is nothing I can do about it legally. So I bought an older car and parked it in front of their home. You should have seen the look on their faces when they saw my car."
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.
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."
Edward Moore was recently fined for parking up outside Hala Lebanese takeaway on Wokingham Road in Reading.
He left his wife inside the car while he popped into the takeaway to pick up a kebab.
Two weeks later he received a notice from Reading Borough Council (RBC) for 'stopping on a red route or clearway'.
Mr Moore and his wife appealed to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal to try and reverse the decision, despite risking a £70 if he lost.
Crucially, Mr Moore pointed out that there were marked parking spaces on the pavement.
Around a week later the local authority said they would not challenge the appeal. Mr Moore said: "The council lost, we won,”
