Well, you see if I need the boot, then I park in a quiet area of the carpark, even if it means walking an extra 30 seconds to the store. I'd park in a central space, with spaces directly behind, that way when I come back I can bring the trolley to the boot and reduce the risk of it going rogue just as another car comes past. Should I return to find a car behind me, i'll release the handbrake and roll forward enough to get access.

The only time i'd struggle is at a weekend, but then I tend to do all my shopping on Tuesdays at around 6:30pm, just as the council owned car parks become free to park.

That's not always an option though, especially if your driving disabled people around. Our local Tesco, you have to drive into spaces, cos you wouldn't get in the boot for wheelchairs to get out, even in the disabled spaces. If I've got my mam and my dd in the car, we're talking 2 wheelchairs to get out, park further away and then what? Either I have to push them further, or one does themself in doing the extra distance. Thankfully the lass is back on her feet, but still carry the 2 wheelchairs just in case
