Baby, you can park my car

Massachusetts drivers are so bad, they have a name: Massholes. Universal Hub found a Masshole in his element, with a parking performance so dismal that it breaks two laws at once. Go check it out.

But don't think bad parkers are limited to Mass., or even to America. Universal Hub's photo reminded me of a bang-up parking job we saw in Berlin, after a person decided parallel parking just wasn't worth the trouble:

This wasn't the first time we saw something like this. Traffic laws apparently aren't a top priority over there, because we saw people riding mopeds on the sidewalk, parking on concrete medians and generally doing just about whatever the hell they wanted. Which, you know, seemed pretty reasonable to me. Look at what this guy above pulled off: He made use of a tight space, and hit nobody's car in the process. There's plenty of room left on the sidewalk, and the cars in front and behind him will have no trouble getting out of their spots. Of course, there might be a small child stuck under there or something, but let's stick to the positives, shall we?
