In London, England, where the roads are narrow, the parking spaces are limited and we have plenty of availability of vans that can actually fit things in, we still get these a*holes with their unnecessary large pick up trucks made for a road system completely different to ours…

These spaces are wider than usual and long enough to fit them but they still have to park like w*nkers blocking the only footpath around!

I mean, I have a 5 door hatchback and know that my car overhangs the back wheels, as does any primary school kid drawing a car…

    Where I live, if the vehicle doesn’t fit inside the lines, it’s illegally parked. Even if it’s the mirrors/bumper/hitch.

      So many people think “if my wheels are in the space it’s ok” and it drives me insane

        Yeah, it happens here too, because noone really reports illegally parked vehicles.

          I report illegally parked cars like a full Karen because my road is very dangerous to pull out from. But no one ever does anything about it

      Where I live cars are like a natural creatures of the urban environment with their own will and can’t be blamed. Stroller goes on the street very often because of it.

        Even some people I know try to defend drivers who double park and block the bike parking when I complain about them.
