justifiable behavior to protect your car? or unbridled selfishness?

[Bazile]

If you are parking in a busy car park - then unbridled selfishness

If it's a car park where there are always loads of spaces , then i can understand

[Cloverjo]

Just selfish. Park further away from the supermarket door, where there are fewer cars.

[Bazile]

Selfish people are also those who park with their wheels on or very close to the space dividing lines

I try and time my carpark visits (early morning mostly) and part away from the store/shop.

Bazile, part ofthat problem, I think, is that supermarket carpark spaces just aren't big enough for the 4WDs that people go shopping in these days.

[Traci66]

Or like me, rubbish at parking!

[Bazile]

Jno - I'm referring to your average Ford Focus driver

[paddywak]

I must confess to parking like this on occassion, but only if I can't get parked in a disable bay as I need to be ale to fully open the car door or I can't get out or into the car.

[Bazile]

Like i said , i'm referring to people who park on the lines , simply because they can't be bothered to park properley

The Facebook group called 'Parking like a *** was obviously also named after Clarkson

If I saw a car parked like this and the space next to it was free I'd park my car adjacent to it also straddling 2 spaces just to *** off the ***
