The survey of Parkhound users – an app which helps drivers find car spaces – found 58 per cent said parallel parking is the most difficult way to park, with reverse parking taking the second position at 21 per cent. A total of 12 per cent find perpendicular parking – with front to curb – the hardest, while only 8 per cent dread angled parking.

Delivery vans – and trucks – kept Australia moving throughout the coronavirus crisis, as consumers shopped from home and ordered goods online.

The first official images of the 2021 Hyundai Kona N have been released, ahead of the performance SUV's full unveiling expected to occur in the coming weeks. Up front, the Kona N builds on the sporty look debuted on the mid-tier Kona N Line, with stacked, wide honeycomb grille sections sitting below a trio of faux bonnet vents, and above an extended front splitter with a red accent strip – the lattermost a hallmark design feature among Hyundai's full-fat N models.
