Only in South Africa will a traffic cop battle to do things you need in order to pass your driver’s license. Like, in this case, parallel park. The people of Mzansi got a kick out of this clip.

Twitter account @VehicleTrackerz shared a clip which shows a traffic cop in a marked vehicle trying to parallel park on a busy street. The opening was so wide you could have probably fitted two really small cars in it but the cop flopped so badly they ended up driving off.

The people of Mzansi lol while shaking their heads

This is a typical Mzansi moment, and not a proud one either. These are meant to be the people who enforce the laws of the road but yet they themselves can’t even drive properly. Peeps had a good chuckle in the comment section

Take a look at what some had to say:

“He should've just switched on the wooo woo and lights and left it in the road and go whatever he needed to do.”

Traffic cop directs cars with fresh moves in hilarious clip cheering up motorists, Mzansi left grateful

Briefly News previously reported that one traffic officer preoccupied car drivers as he maintained the road's order. A Tiktok user, oppies1969, shared the video of the happy policeman, and many cannot get enough.

Netizens enjoyed the video of the policeman who seemed to be fond of his job. The officer was happy to put on a show.

A tiktoker, @oppies1969 stuck in traffic, showed how one eager traffic controller made the best of their job. In the video, the traffic officer can be seen rhythmically flailing his arms as he directs the traffic. Mzansi loves cheerful police officers, and this clip, with over 300 000 views, was a hit.
