Parking over the line

Won't deter me... I still managed to slip my Megane into the space. :rotfl:

    You should have gone tight to the Astra and give the other guy more room.

    I would have been pretty !!!!ed if I came back to my car and found some !!!!!! had parked that close to my passenger side, how did you get out of your car? as above you should have parked closer to the Astra.

    It might not look it but there was plenty of space between me and the car on the right, if not more that between me and the Astra. I still managed to squeeze out without touching the car on the right.

    Astra was gone when I got back, he probably had to climb in through the passenger side.

    I miss having an older car where getting scratches or dings really isn't such a big deal.

    I doubt there was any malice in the astras parking, just in a rush or bad at parking. Not to be taken personally! Certainly not the worse parking i've ever seen

    Probably no malice. Very inconsiderate of other people who will be using the car park though if there's a lack of spaces available.

    I'd have parked closer to the Astra though if i was going to be squeezing in there.

    There's a carpark in Sutton Coldfield town centre, where the gate mechanism counts cars entering and leaving and then only allows in a car if there is a space available.
    It works brilliantly until some moron does what the Astra driver has done.

  • To be honest I thought I was closer until I looked at the photo. On the other hand if I got any more closer, then that would be malice on my part. Least being centre between both cars it makes me look more considerate.

    This was the only space left, it's only a strip of 25 or so bays along a one way street. Only way to come in is from the left of the photo.

    But as you said, the Astra was gone when you returned. If another car was parked correctly in the bay, how would that make you look?

    I knew there wouldn't be as this car park is generally empty by 10pm. It was 7.45pm when I took the photo.
