The only time I do this is when the bay's have dividing lines in front and back as in Duthie Park.
Pedantic, I suppose I am, and considerate. If you can reverse into a bay and stop without going into the bay behind you, you are a better driver than I am.
Bays in Duthie Park by the way are all along one side of the road, with adequate spaces between each bay, with a white line marking the ends of the bay. If cars park within the bay's, no problem, when one uses one and a bit, the one behind them is too small for anyone to use, if you get my drift..
Not pedantic enough!Pedantic, I suppose I am, and considerate. If you can reverse into a bay and stop without going into the bay behind you, you are a better driver than I am.

The use of the apostrophe in "bay's" is incorrect.
You didn't do use it at the beginning of your last paragraph, so why use it elsewhere?
I thought the law was a bit odd and allows parking in cycle lanes because obviously you can't cycle in such a lane if there are cars parked there. However the highway code says:
140
Cycle lanes. These are shown by road markings and signs. You MUST NOT drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a solid white line during its times of operation. Do not drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a broken white line unless it is unavoidable. You MUST NOT park in any cycle lane whilst waiting restrictions apply.

This hand pump parks like this quite regularly, at a junction, I think the passengers would need a ladder to get from the car to the pavement!
