It amazes me how many people cannot park between the lines in a car park or do some people just not care.

If they were in a paying car park they would get a parking ticket, wouldn't they.

Sometimes you have no choice but to park between the lines because a big 4x4 has taken up a whole space and everyone else parking has to allow space to get out of their car doors and the affect is accumulative ..

4 x 4's are a blooming nuisance. Apart from anything else, I wonder how young families can afford such a luxury.

Doesn't excuse them though. Its sheer arrogance, I see them come into our car park and just land wherever they do. No checking

All too much in a rush it seems.
People struggle to get into their car, because the other one is so near - or they take up 2 spaces !

I know what you mean, Patsy. If it's unavoidable because of how others have parked then fair enough, but if people just ignore the markings and park anywhere it is sheer laziness and very inconsiderate.
