A mum has been praised for her clever trick to open car doors in tight spaces, which costs just 4p.
We've all struggled to find a parking space, only to squeeze into a tight spot and worry about damaging the cars next to us. But one smart mum, Kelly Arvan, has shared a 'genius' hack on TikTok that could end these worries.

A TikTok user wondered: "What about when they come back and aren't as considerate? You'll be coming back to a nice little dent there". But Kelly just said: "I'm kind because
