Only, if you throw away the entire concept of anyone else being able to use that second space.
It's a judgement call and not ideal but in some circumstances seems to be unavoidable if your vehicle of choice is larger than the norm. And they get bigger with each generation. I'm not Inclined to criticise those who own such vehicles for their choice but neither am I advocating they occupy multiple spaces in crowded car parks or limited residential spaces when with a little consideration it could probably be avoided.5s Alive said:

It’s for that reason alone, everyone calls them a

It's one reason why I am careful with the size of vehicle I buy as I do park in defined spaces most of the time. My next runaround is going to be a Fiesta/Polo-sized hatchback as I seem to be trying to squeeze into smaller spaces than normal these days.
I avoid taking the car as much as possible if I know parking is going to be a problem. If you buy a 5.3m long pick up truck and drive it to stores, don't be surprised you can't park it in a regular bay.
Our family car is 5m and neigh on 2m wide, I'm very considerate to my parking with it and often drive an extra 100m to have a proper parking spot.

Because the other one at the back means there is no space to get out. Without nudging both of them, which if I had an old banger is what I would do.
I see, I assumed it was a car park and you could both reverse out into a lane! So one of the cars is pointing the ‘wrong way’ .

Tesco's. One was not amused.
By the panel spacing or the illegal plate ?The Fiesta does seem to be lined up with the car in front though.
I don't even think the picture has been treated to anything as advanced as Photoshop, but it's good to know some people still believe the camera always tells the truth.
As for the line, have a look on the tarmac between the two cars. It's where they're often found.
