March 28 (UPI) -- A British driver was filmed trying to squeeze her car through a gap that turned out to be just a mite too small for a good fit.

The video shows a car attempting to leave a parking lot in Gravesend, England, by squeezing between two brick posts at the ends of fences.

The car initially looks like it might fit, but stops when a side-view mirror hits the bricks and bends backward.

The driver ends up reversing to find a more suitable exit.
