The annoying issue is people have total disregard for other peoples property. How these people who park so close they can't open the door without a ding find this acceptable is beyond me

One of my cars some time ago now had multiple coloured doors and had seen a lot of use but it ran well, it never once was dinged or scratched.

Have something that shines and looks immaculate and it attracts the idiots who seem to think it funny to damage someone's pride and joy.

I've heard that can happen, shouldn't have to honour the ticket though as Morrisons car parks don't belong to the Council so they hit you with their own ticket...to be honest though in this day and age everyone has a technical excuse and technically they don't display parking etiquette signs saying that you are liable to be fined for taking up too much space so there's your excuse lol

DONE: HAD A CRAZY IDEA THAT I HAD TO GET RID OF MY MG ZTT DUE TO NOT HAVING A DRIVE AND HAVING TO PARK ON A BUSY STREET WITH A VIEW TO GETTING ANOTHER ONE AT A LATER DATE WHEN I HAVE A DRIVE.

ENDED UP REALISING IT REALLY ISN'T PRACTICAL NOT HAVING A CAR TO GET AROUND AND I NOW OWN A VW EOS 3.2 V6 INDIVIDUAL (1 OF 20 REMAINING IN THE UK WITH THAT ENGINE AND TRIM COMBO) EVEN THOUGH I STILL LIVE ON A BUSY ROAD WITHOUT A DRIVE

I'll often park like that with my 75. people may consider it inconsiderate but I'm being very considerate to my car! I don't want it hit.

Just buy a cheap childs booster seat, leave it on the back seat and park in the parent and child spaces.

Answer....................because they can. There are some very lonely people around.

That`s naughty, those spaces are for "over-spill" for disabled drivers.

I came across a jag parked like this whilst I was in my van. It took about 5 minutes maneuvering and involved folding in both mirrors and climbing out through the back doors but I got into the 3/4 of a space between him and a wall.

I then went into McDonalds for half an hour for my lunch.

He was standing by his car when I got back and was not happy!

I instructed him to depart from the vicinity whilst making hip thrusting motions and in future not to park like a slang term for a male phallus
