One simple hack could change how everyone uses car parks by saving time and scrapes.
A video of the technique was shared by TikTok user bigbruva_77, explaining that he discovered it after going to pick up a vehicle from a General Motors lot in the USA, the Mirror reports.
Each car was parked on the left-hand line of the parking space, leaving enough room on either side for the doors to open - preventing accidental bumps and parking hassle.
In the video, the man said: "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 number 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."
His video quickly notched up over 440,000 views and scores of comments - with people saying the technique made the spaces appear twice as big.
But others pointed out a possible flaw - in the form of other drivers.
Another user commented: "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."
