Whilst it may be way over from being completely in the space it's not actually taking up 2 spots is it. I regularly will try and find the end spaces so I can get right over away from the car next to me.
It's actually extending into an access lane, not another space - note the ( faded ) give way stripesVipers said:
Very busy Sainsbury's today Garthdee, usual spate of don't care I will park where I like, unfortunately although a private company look after the car park, apart from clocking vehicles in and out, never ever seen a warden there, not that an invoice carries much weight north of the border.
Nice old Merc though.
Years ago I drove a colleague's '96 S class to the NEC Metropole hotel for the classic show. Parked in a space but there was not enough room to open the doors so we could get out. Only solution was to park centrally across 2 spaces.Nice old Merc though.
Designers of car parks need to make the spaces larger!! Most cars are larger now than they were 20 years ago - Fiesta, Golf, Polo, etc.

They will carry some weight after next year. Keeper liability was passed in the recent transport bill. Nice old Merc though.

99.9% would’ve found an end space and/or let the passenger out first.

Maybe the spaces in your Sainsbury car park are larger. Bentley owner possibly makes life difficult for cars beside him/her.
As to finding an end space, obviously you've never been to the NEC hotel. Any empty space is like hen's teeth.
I suggest you look at the relevant S class. The doors are very thick and have to be opened several inches before there is a gap to put a piece of paper through, let alone a person.
It wasn't my car and I wouldn't want it due to this problem.

It’s a dick manouvre and everyone knows it.
There's bad parking, and there's using a stolen blue badge issued to a now-dead child...
