A motorist has become an unwitting internet star after featuring in a 15-minute video showing her repeated attempts to parallel park.

The students who took the footage from their flat across the road in Holyland, south Belfast, said it took the woman more than half an hour to finally park the silver hatchback.

In the clip, which has now been watched more than one million times after being uploaded on to YouTube, the students, all from North Antrim, cheer the woman on throughout.

They had apparently offered to help her park the car, but after being rebuffed went to film the second half of her attempts.




‘One of the boys went down to help her out and she was having none of it,’ Conor Garry told UTV.

His friend Eoghan Patterson added: ‘If she is out there anywhere, come in for a wee cup of tea and a chat. No harm done.’
