Re: Whats wrong with taking up two spaces?
Parking spaces in most car parks are far too narrow for modern cars, unless you drive a Smart car that is, or a Ka, something really small. Most people don't. I don't blame people taking up two spaces. Car park planners should do something about it & no one should blame the motorists.Fender that video was hilarious.

Anyway, I though there was a recommendeed standard minimum measurement, not that everybody has to adhere to it.

I don't know why, though, as there are usually plenty of spaces at both, so it's not as if the one is worried about not having sufficient access for all its customers.Anyway, I though there was a recommendeed standard minimum measurement, not that everybody has to adhere to it.

The developers had used a European design without modification, the local cars couldn't make the tight turns and narrow passage ways. Great lumps of the building had to be knocked down and modified.
My ute only just fits in my 6 mtr square garage the car being 5.5 mtr long plus towbar means there is no room front or back. It seems to be problem of modern living probably exacerbated in the UK by the small living areas.
