Parking thread.....with a difference

[Al2O3]

No diagram, but an actual picture. Woo hoo!

Not two spaces compromised, but four.

Anyone prepared to raise me, or quit?

Was there somewhere else in the car park he could have parked?

Don't think there is any alternative for this van & trailer, unless the McD's has coach parking?🤷‍♀️

What would you have suggested he did instead?

I’m not sure what else the driver could have done

Perhaps not gone to McDonalds and take up four spaces?

Saw the same thing outside a Morrisons just the other day.
Problem is there are no large/deep spaces, so there isn't really much else for the driver to do.

Maybe they expect long vehicles to only use the drive thru?

There look like there are a few other spaces available though.

I'm not sure what else he could have done?!

That would be classed as good parking in Cyprus. Can't see the problem, all within the lines?

Ordinarily I'd say he was a twat - but unless there were coach/ lorry spaces I'm not sure what option he had.

Unless there was plenty of suitable parking nearby and he did that to avoid having to walk.

How do you think motorhomes park at supermarkets?

There are other spaces, the driver isn’t blocking the road or any other car. It’s not exactly the same as some dick who can’t park properly or who takes up several spaces for a car that any competent driver would only take one.

Eh?! He didn’t really have much other choice, if he had gone the ‘right’ way he wouldn’t have blocked the road and another bay length ways. That said, I once got a parking ticket for parking a monster truck across 4 bays (random, I know) I won the appeal as It was clear I physically didn’t fit in just 1 space!

You are missing my point. If I were parking that, I would not have bent it in the middle. The lady driver (yes not a he was she) could have left it straight. Imagine having to reverse out.

Huh? All your posts are about it taking up four spaces.

Standard to park a car with a trailer across at least two spaces (if one in front of the other). These ones look like they're side by side, so not much choice really. At least it's not sticking out or obstructing anything

Huh? All your posts are about it taking up four spaces.

And I asked you to raise me. Burger King or Sainsbury's would have been better.

Waitrose would have given me six places.

Have u ever towed a trailer OP? I suspect she left it "bent in middle" so she could drive out forwards easily!

If it hadn’t been bent in the middle it might have encroached into space 5.

Well 5 is a raise on 4 surely.

Wtf are you on about?

I don’t think this is going the way op expected it to. I think we were supposed to go on about how terrible the parking was
