1/68This is starting to look like malice! Nobody could possibly be this bad at parking by accident, could they? Picture: Andrew Fieldhouse
Space invaders: (More of) SA’s worst parking

2/68The Leyland Brothers approach to parking. To paraphrase Back to the Future’s Doc Brown: “Roads? Where we’re parking we don’t need roads”. If you don’t get the reference, shame on you.
3/68It’s bad when police cross the line ... or lines as in this case. And it looks like the coppers have been choppers, too. Not sure the tailer is standard police issue. Picture: Sarsha Skrigin
4/68This driver can go to blazes, says David French.
5/68There’s bad parking, there’s stupid parking, then there’s this. Bad enough that this driver is clearly clueless, but common sense says you don’t cross mums with prams. They probably haven’t had enough sleep and they’re just plain angry. Catherine Hogan assures us there was no child or pram coming out of this car.
6/68What to do when the driver has a disability, but the passenger does not. Either that or for when you are a just a bit disabled. Picture: Ryan Pollard
7/68Fair go - what else are you supposed to do when you need 180 minutes, not 90? Any fool knows that 90+90=180.
8/68Amber Lucas came across this effort. Started to back in, then just lost interest.
9/68The folks at Bethany Christian School should start some after-school classes in parking, if this shot by Renee Cook is anything to go by. These two bozos need mandatory detention.
10/68Just makes you feel tired sometimes, doesn’t it? Obviously a care factor of zero - a perfect match for the driving skills. And, Chany Sgobino says, the driver at Hallett Cove was not displaying a permit.
11/68Shopping trolley? What shopping trolley? Oh, the one that I just sent into the back of the car behind me! Renee Cook couldn’t believe it either, when she took this shot. Glad it wasn’t Renee standing behind the Toyota Hilux at Northpark Shopping Centre.
12/68The old “turn the wheel and hope” technique! And it almost worked, Thanks to Derek Lang for this cracker.
13/68It’s a kind of angle parking, we suppose. Just not the usual angle. Picture: Fiona Warren. Source : Facebook
14/68Now THAT’S how you angle-park. Sorry, what? It’s not an angle park? Who would have guessed? Confusion at Clovercrest Shopping Centre, captured by Carolyn Mazzeo.
15/68No, it’s OK ... I wasn’t going out anyway. Brigette White came across this at Munno Para West. Parked in front of a driveway and a long, long way from the kerb. Outstanding work!
16/68Once I get out of my car, I’m a pedestrian, right? So this is OK. No, you moron, it’s not. Picture: Rebeckah Collins.
17/68It is a tragedy that compared to some of the parking seen in this collection of photos, this isn’t all that bad an effort. Ashley Minton still thought it was worth sharing.
18/68Can’t get into a parking space? Probably shouldn’t be driving a truck, then. Picture: Craig Cook
19/68This P-plated utility driver is doing his or her best to avoid obstructing traffic. Not that helpful for Carla Munoz as she tried to get her pram past, though.
20/68Parking meets jousting! You may not want to leave it like that, mate ... a poor effort, even by the admittedly low standards demonstrated in this gallery. Picture: Helios Del Torro
21/68If you can’t respect the courtesy, at least admire the symetry. Couldn’t get much more neatly spread between two parks. Precision work at Clovercrest Shopping Centre. Picture: Carolyn Mazzeo
22/68Good old Aussie ingenuity at its best. Can’t find a park, just make one. After all, if you’re parking in it, it’s a park, right?
23/68More fun at Tea Tree Plaza. This driver is taking advantage of the (unwritten) rule that if you drive a Merc you get two spaces. Keeps you away from the riff-raff. Picture: Liz Mansell
24/68Lyal Muegge remains unconvinced that this vehicle is some sort of very large motorbike. Pretty game, really. Imagine the reaction of an outlaw bikie coming across this.
25/68If this is how this driver steers a car, let’s hope he or she did not get behind a shopping trolley after this. On a brighter note, it appears the car was stopped before it ploughed into the car in front. Just. Michael Swann saw this at Tea Tree Plaza.
26/68The carpark designers have built in some room for error with these lines ... but not enough it seems. “Nice parking,” says Tracey Horricks. We’re sensing a little sarcasm there, Tracey.
27/68That must be some sale at Harbourtown. Picture: Rebecca Daw
28/68Stop, stop, stop .... too late! We can only hope this driver doesn’t overshoot the end of their carport like they overshoot Harbourtown car park spaces. Picture: Rebecca Daw
29/68There is some bad parking on display in this gallery, but this driver has gone the extra yard, taking up at least five spaces outside Lockleys Foodland. Hats off to you, sir or madam! Picture: Louisa Sanders. Source: Facebook
30/68Just to show that bad parking isn’t confined to carparks. Annie Wittup reckons this happens all the time - cars parked in front of the home and blocking the driveway. Source: Facebook
31/68Sorry, you’re at the wrong place ... you wanted CrapDrivers’R’Us. Matt Beames says this vehicle was parked this way all day. Even when the carpark began to get really full. Source : Facebook
32/68Hmmmm .... Not sure what this rider’s disability is. Maybe it’s reading signs. One thing’s for sure - there’s no sticker on his windscreen. An anonymous tipster took this at Gawler. Source : Facebook
33/68Now this really is something special. Not one, but - count ‘em - TWO parking spaces meant for the disabled. Mel Carter assures us there was no permit on display. Just ignorance! Source: Facebook
34/68Apologies to the Yoghurt Shop drivers who do have a clue. All Sharon Ann Morrison wanted to do was pick up a large package from Australia Post. Source: Facebook
35/68Poor Sharyn Bottroff had to try to get a baby and a toddler in, with just this tiny gap with which to work. The inconsiderate clod on the left was parked in Tea Tree Plaza carpark. Source : Facebook
36/68Gopher it! Technically, there’s not much wrong in this shot taken by Chris Nichols at Woodcroft. But we’re not sure if this vehicle really needs a carparking space of its own, And where’s your sticker, buddy? Source: Facebook
37/68We can only presume the bloke on the right was able to hold his breath as he tried to squeeze into his car. Aaron James took this shot in the Westfield Marion carpark. Source: Facebook
38/68OK, so it’s a nice Mustang and you don’t want it hit by car doors ... but you reckon it’s acceptable to park like this outside the Modbury Plaza hotel on a Saturday? “If he is that worried about it why drive it to the pub?” asks Ben Johnson. You have a point Mr Johnson. Source: Facebook
39/68Yes, Channel 9, Adam Murdey did see it. Guess those cameras are a little heavy, but I’m not sure they constitute a disability. Source: Facebook
40/68Come as you are ... Amy Prior saw this parking masterpiece at Dernancourt Shopping Centre. Source: Facebook
41/68No, the arrow isn’t there to point you to the closest park. It’s a one-way lane, You know, for everyone to use. Tom Cullen snapped this genius at Bunnings Modbury. Source : Facebook
42/68The furniture may be Fantastic. The parking isn’t. Picture: Mark Hughes. Source: Facebook
43/68Fantastic parking, part 2. Oh well, at least it’s not parked sideways. Picture: Mark Hughes. Source: Facebook
44/68It’s not like he or she didn’t have any other options! Bianca Hicks took this shot at Hollywood Plaza. Source: Facebook
45/68It’s a wonder Bianca Galway wasn’t driven to homicide as she lapped the apparently full Tea Tree Plaza carpark, looking for a space. Source: Facebook
46/68Dejan Martic says this driver is a selfish moron. Hard to argue, really. Source: Facebook
47/68“At first glance this doesn’t look too bad.. until you realise they’re parked in the driving lane,” says Bethany Wright. Source: Facebook
48/68Dan Von Stanke saw this piece of work at North Haven. The driver went into Foodland. But she’s halfway into a post office park too, so maybe she had a letter to send off as well. Source: Facebook
49/68Dejan Martic was impressed by this person’s effort. Hell, they almost got in properly. Source: Facebook
50/68Have two parks ... hell, have ‘em all if you want. Picture: Fiona Warren. Source: Facebook
51/68Anyone know this yellow line means? Certainly not this driver. Ellis Myth took this shot just off Queen St, Croydon. Source: Facebook
52/68Evan Jones took this outside his work at Greenacres. Perhaps the driver will try parking with his or her eyes open next time. Source: Facebook
53/68An anonymous contributor says this customer at Victoria Nursery obviously wanted to get a really good look at these plants. Source: Facebook
54/68Come on, you’re not even trying! Picture: Fiona Warren. Source: Facebook
55/68Gary Rix - hereafter to be known as Mr Brightside - says that at least this driver parked straight at Parabanks Shopping Centre. Source: Facebook
56/68No point in being fussy when there’s shopping to do. Genine Jaunay spotted this entry in our parking masterclass at Westlands Shopping Centre, Whyalla. Source: Facebook
57/68Absolutely marvellous! Here’s how to cut the line at your favourite grocery store - take up two parks so nobody else can get in. We share photographer Hasan Kattoua’s amazement. Picture: Facebook
58/68Let’s be fair ... it’s easy to miss this white line at the Coles St Clair carpark. Lee Ridge took the shot not long after the store opened. Source: Facebook
59/68A metre or so to the right or a couple of metres to the left and this would have been good parking. It isn’t. Picture: Fiona Warren. Source: Facebook
60/68It’s a big vehicle, but not that big. Picture: Fiona Warren. Source : Facebook
61/68Aaron J East just had to admire this fabulous effort. Picture: Facebook
62/68Hey, those disabled people don’t need THAT much room, do they? That’s this driver’s attitude obviously. Adam Murdey reckons it’s parking like a boss. Source: Facebook
63/68Taking up two parking bays at the Somerset Hotel on Bridge Rd, Para Hills. Picture: Tristan Allworden Source : Facebook
64/68The load is the thing that’s oversized, not the damned ute. Tristan Allworden had to back out carefully, trying to avoid the precariously jutting utility, before his passenger could get into his car at Adelaide Airport. Source: Facebook
