The other cars are in marked bays, the grid set up isn't symmetrical

Membury Services right now.
My guess is that that has been dropped there by a breakdown truck.

Don't even know where to start...

This coach has now been spotted twice parking over the entire pavement at the edge of a busy residental 30mph road. Its ok, buggies and wheel chair users can use the road right?

My neighbors spotted and took photos. Second occasion company and driver were spoken to by my neighbour. I wasn’t in both times as it’s first thing after taking photo I’d have done.

Apparently driver just moved further down the road when first approached. Moved on when company contacted.

I imagine the tts that mark carparks with spaces that allow 10" for you to open your door might think about redesigning them.

But probly not, I suspect that only half the number of folk would be able to park, but at least their cars would be safer, so thats a win.
Im a tt who designs car parks what's your issue? I cant understand what your on about. All car parking spaces are the same size, they are an industry standard. Seems you might be too dim to realise that though.

You may be a tt but the bigger tts are those that design cars which are getting ever wider and wider so they no longer fit into the car park designer tt's spaces which are no longer large enough.

Are they fk all the same size - the ones in my local Morrisons are a lot wider than the ones in the local council run carpark, where I have trouble fitting a medium sized car into a space and have to squeeze out of the door to avoid hitting the car parked next to me.

Your overly aggressive response above just proves you're a tt

yes Although I would say the buyers of these cars are the bigger tts. Not least because despite knowing they have a wide car, the lazy sods still park at the front of the supermarket at peak times. I love it when I am driving the shed and don't have to wrry about parking next to these people.

Oh really. I should add it appears the driver was waiting with each time. But doesn’t excuse that level of knoberry. I’m not sure where coaches go when waiting but pretty sure across the entire pavement isn’t it

Don't think cyclist HAVE to use them, motorist shouldn't. Or have I read it wrong,

My Volvo in the middle, Ford on left of picture, see how far they are from the end of the bay, why?

I managed to reverse in, and fortunately the one next to me had driven in so I wasn't blocking the driver getting in, if they had reversed in I wouldn't have parked there.

That was a candidate for a mirror fold and some forward parking in the hope that said 'tard had a passenger.

You forward park within a gnat's nadger of him, folding your mirrors on the way in. The way you have parked causes 'tard no inconvenience if he/she has a passenger.

Confused, mini can always drive out to let passenger in so can the Ford. (As I do to let my passenger out befor reversing in), I folded my nearside mirror in just in case the mini's mirror caught mine.

Am I misreading your post confused
