When a person drives behind another driver, or stops at a stoplight or behind another driver with a big gap in-between.

Origin: The steamroller scene where Austin Powers and Elizabeth Hurley drives a slow-moving steamroller, and tells the cop to move. But the cop is at a great distance from the steamroller.
The Asian driver in front of me has Austin Powers Syndrome. At the stoplight, she stopped 2 car lengths away from the driver in front of her.

Get the Austin powers mug.
An extremely frustrating situation in which a vehicle is boxed-in so tightly that its driver becomes stuck perpetually switching between forward and reverse to set it free.

Stems from the pained efforts of the eponymous Austin Powers in the movie "International Man of Mystery".
Boss: "What sort of time do you call this, you left for your lunch break almost two weeks ago"

Worker: "I'm sorry sir I got stuck Austin Powers-ing in the Tesco car park; I've been hit with 17 different fines and now they're repossessing my house"

Boss: "Lmao damn son"
