A lot of drivers will confess that parking isn’t one of their strengths.

But some people take bad parking to the next level – as shown by a series of staggering photos.

The pictures show cars left in the most unlikely of places, including one mounted on top of a pair of benches.

Other amusing snaps show drivers who have somehow managed to spectacularly miss their parking spaces – and mounting the curb instead.

Some of the examples of bizarre parking simply blow the mind – begging the question of how the driver managed to get their car in such a tight spot in the first place…
