Ultimate parallel park, or blind luck? Russian spins 180 degrees across busy road into parking space

Many motorists will go to great lengths to get that perfect parking spot - but this driver risks his life in the hunt for a space.

The remarkable parking manoeuvre is either the greatest display of motoring skill you’ll ever see, or a huge slice of good fortune.

The motorist in Russia cuts in front of a fellow driver as cars travel along a busy carriageway.

A split second later, the driver veers violently to the right, cutting across the road at a right angle just metres in front of a car in another lane.

Amazingly, the car manages to spin a full 180 degrees across the road and come to a halt perfectly in a parking space at the side of the road.

Whether the driver meant to end up in the space so perfectly is unclear, as their death defying move could’ve been complete luck.
