Perhaps the driver thought he was in a SWB Sprinter? Maybe he just doesn't give a toss if he blocks the road..
Where is he meant to park... If he parks in one space and overhangs it, his photo ends up in here.
If he parks across 3 bays but not overhanging the road, his photo ends up in here.
)He has obviously parked there so he can reverse straight out as getting something that size out a normal bay with cars on either side is almost impossible as you can't get the swing.
As for blocking the road, he's only blocking one lane of a car park and not a main road so I don't see anything wrong with it either to be honest.
I've highlighted in red where van man was parked. Sure, it's not a main road or anything but it's still causing an obstruction which there's no need for. He could've easily taken up one of the many hundreds of double spaces available, no issues with that at all.

Does this count?
Some feking dimwit backed into a space toady and didnt notice they hit my car.
I guess in a way it is a good job they didn't notice as I got to takes pics of it all whilst waiting for them to come back to their car.
On the plus side they were very sorry and have agreed to sort it out.
GRRR.
Standard level of driving for Haslemere isn't that? Some feking dimwit backed into a space toady and didnt notice they hit my car.

Have you ever parked a van that size in a public car park?
He could have parked in a double space like you say but he would still struggle to get out if cars parked on either side of him.
Where he is parked looks pretty quiet so he appears to be trying to stay out of everyone's way but still making it easy to get his van back out if the car park gets busy.

I wasn't the only one there was an X5 and a silver Kia with blu badge on display and the driver had walked off only noticed when he returned, seemed very sble for a man with a blue badge
You're not in a position to say others are parked badly, when you're sitting waiting in the drop-off bay taking pictures. Drop off points, as the title suggests is where you stop to drop off or pick up passengers. They aren't 'sit-and-wait bays'.Frocat said:
Taken from outside my student house today, we each have our own car - the 4 cars on the right of the picture. As you can see we park the rear cars further back which usually prevents people from blocking us in - but not today!
4 temporary people in one small family house each have a car and decide to take over the whole road for their parking??
What about the other 3 houses that back onto the street... what about rear access to properties when probably student cars rarely move?
If this was the back of my house, and you 4 lived in a house and did this.. there would be some serious 'discussions'.. not just some parking to block you in to try and show you the errors of your ways.. are your neighbours elderly?

Obviously choice one would be a double length space.
Some supermarkets (Tesco are the worst) do this annoying thing of putting a hedge or barrier between the rows of spaces, meaning you can't park over two, which forces me to park a bit like the pic at times.

I certainly see your point there. Hopefully an aerial view of the car park might paint a better picture of the situation.
I've highlighted in red where van man was parked. Sure, it's not a main road or anything but it's still causing an obstruction which there's no need for. He could've easily taken up one of the many hundreds of double spaces available, no issues with that at all.
Good thinking, I will just park next to a junction........doh............I've highlighted in red where van man was parked.

That's my Bora, parked on the end space of the row - I parked purposefully over the edge of the space, into a wide passageway, to stop any inconsiderate oik sticking a dent in my door.
Not helped by somebody that seems to have parked at NSL...
Oh, and that camper in the background takes up 4 spaces.
ETA: I thought it was worse than that, it seems not too bad, merely not straightened up...
