Back to the age-old question - Is it easier to park with or without cars around you? 

In the forum discussion above, many said that it is easier to park with cars around you. 

Well, I would think otherwise. Watch this clip and find out why:

This incident happened at an open-air carpark, located at 877 Tampines Street 84. 

What happened?

The Lalamove driver, who was driving a Renault SUV, was caught on cam reversing into a PARKED AND STATIONARY Perodua. 

Oh wells. I am guessing the Lalamove driver held onto the notion that parking with cars around you will be easier.

After realising he hit the Perodua, the Lalamove driver did not bother to even alight and check on the damage to both cars.

Instead, he scooted away and parked at a nearby lot. 

How did it happen?

Honestly, I don't know how an incident like this can even happen.

I mean, almost every modern car these days comes equipped with parking sensors and a reverse camera.

I am assuming that the Lalamove driver:

(1) was using his mobile phone while reversing, or

(2) did not bother to check his side mirrors while reversing.

It is almost impossible to commit a hit and run in this day and age, especially with every vehicle armed with a dashcam - You will be caught, and the police will find you. 

Netizens' comments

Maybe HDB has to start installing poles, similar to those in driving schools. What a shame.

Same. I was looking intently as he attempted to park the 2nd time. 

Exactly my point. Got so many types of cameras - Dashcam, HDB CCTVs, LTA CCTVs and Police surveillance cameras. How to siam all of them?

Update: Both parties have privately settled this incident among themselves.
