Well that's a sort of improvement. Hope that Aygo isn't planning on going anywhere soon though

That would only be an issue if the aygo owner is not able to drive.
Or if there isnt enough space to get out of that gap

The minibus opposite looks to be 100% parked across the footpath too.

He has just written that there is space in front of the aygo so not sure what you're talking about

Less than a foot space? Loads of room. The aygo will have a great turning circle, I would be surprised if it needs to go back and forward more than once.
I would imagine that any half decent PH driver could just hand brake it out of that space. In fact you only need a maximum of 3 inches. clearance I know what i am talking about as im on PH sat on my sofa and im a driving god.

As it turned out they had to get the Kuga to move so they could pull out. The minibus is parked completely over the pavement as well, luckily there is a car parked to the left of me just out of shot, if they'd parked right up against my drive I would struggle to get out

God help you if you ever hire a car in Spain and park in the street. <1ft is the normal and you do not need to be a driving god to get out

So as you are sat on your sofa looking at 1 picture you know that they can get out of that space, but the people who were there at the time, looking at multiple angles, didnt think that they could, the useless fools.

Photo might not show the curve on the pavement properly, but the back bumper is almost touching and there looks like less than a foot to the Focus, so they aren't getting out of there easily. I will get getting rid of my gate though which will make my life a lot easier

How can you tell there is 'loads of room' ? It looks like it is squashed in...

Reverse into driveway might help getting out.

Or would it, just thinking.

This was at our local Sports ground. Even better that someone then parked in the place vacated by the wayward Volvo!
