Who really saved who in this parking lot situation?

A video showing a driver smashing into the side of a wall inside a parking lot has the internet wondering: who swapped seats with whom to get the car out?

Driving in small spaces is not a skill everyone is equipped for. 

While practice does help, sometimes learning comes with a few scratches and dents. It can be an expensive learning curve, and most people prefer not to encounter it. 

Sadly, it is inevitable in some cases. The best thing to do is to stay calm; if that's impossible, ask for help. It doesn't make you a bad driver, it just makes you human. 

A video showing the aftermath of a driver not making a sharp turn inside a parking lot has social media users talking. 

The clip shows the car reversing as the driver got too close for comfort, heavily scratching and denting the side of the vehicle. A woman exits the vehicle and swaps places with a man while traffic builds up. 

The question on everyone's lips was whether the male driver saved the female driver from this awkward position or vice versa.

Since social media users suspected that the video was taken in China, and they drove on the right-hand side of the road, the male driver bailed the female driver out of the tricky situation. 

While there is a longstanding debate as to which sex is the better driver, we can firmly say that gender has nothing to do with who drives better.
