A TikTok user has shared a method of car parking that, if utilised, could spare a lot of bumps and scrapes.
The man, known by the username bigbruva_77 on the social media platform, posted a clip of the hack that has since been viewed more than 4 million times.
In the video, he is walking around a car park in America and is stunned by the way all of the cars are parked, as reported by The Mirror.

Each vehicle was aligned on the left-hand line of each space, rather than all of them being parked in different positions, and as a result there was ample room for each and every car to open their doors.
This means the risk of bumps and dings was significantly reduced.
In the clip, the man says: "What if I told y'all we've been parking in parking spots wrong the whole time.
"This is where we pick up GM trucks, look how they're parked - they're parked on the line. You see how evenly spaced they are?
"Imagine if everyone at Walmart parked on the line, it would lessen the amount of dings and give you space to get in and out of your car.
"We've been doing it wrong the whole time y'all."
After the video was shared, around 700 users flocked to TikTok to comment their opinion - with one user saying the technique made the spaces appear twice as big.
But others saw a floor in the plan, as one added: "Yo people can't even park inside the lines, you expect them to park on it?"
And another wrote: "I mean that's the same as if everyone parked in the middle, the general public is just bad at parking no matter what the standard is."
