Paul Swift broke four Guinness World Records titles.

A stunt driver at the British Motor Show recently broke the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the tightest parallel parking in an electric car ever. 

According to GWR, stunt driver and precision driving expert Paul Swift was awarded the record after successfully reversing and squeezing his white electric car into a small spot 35cm longer than his white Mini Cooper at an insane speed.

"This record measures the smallest space into which an electric car can be parked in line with other vehicles, requiring masterful skill and strong nerves," the GWR said in a press note. It added that Mr Swift only had three seconds to park in the space created by two Mini Coopers, parked parallel to the curb.
