  • The Good Samaritan the drives off in her car – which was behind the woman’s

This is the moment a woman driving a Volkswagen Passat saloon struggled to parallel park.

The female driver lined up her VW beside a parked car and attempted to reverse into the spot. 

After several attempts, the woman, who is believed to be in America, gets out of her car to measure the space. 

The woman was struggling to park her VW Passat between two other vehicles 

The woman tried several times to reverse into the spot but kept making mistakes

The woman takes small steps to count out the distance between the two parked cars and then repeats the process with her own car. 

Satisfied the car should fit into the spot, the woman tries and fails to reverse into the spot. 

At one stage, pet owner picks up her dog from the street to bring it safely away from the car.  

Fortunately for the woman, a lady decides to give her some assistance and helps with directions while she reverses between the two cars. 

After a couple of more attempts the driver manages to park correctly and is clearly pleased. 

She jumps out of her car to hug the woman who provided assistance as she was finding the gap too tight. 

However, in the final moments of the video, the Good Samaritan gets into her own car behind the woman’s and drives off. 

More than 1.6 million people have liked the video with one user questioning how the woman managed to pass her driving test. 

Another social media user asked: ‘If the other woman was gonna leave anyways why didn’t she just leave so her car was out of the way at least?’

Dayton Barnett suggested: ‘I’m gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and say she wanted that lady to learn how to park in good faith.’

CJ suggested the end of the video was ‘the best plot twist of 2021’.
