Unless I park in an end space, I can barely open the doors. This does lead to a lot of very bad parking. The only solution I have found for me is to park is a lesser used part of the lot. My point is that some of the terrible parking in lots is the fault of the lot design and the rest is the fault of poor driving.

They have done this at my school..the 3A and 4A floors since theyre used the most, they have tiny parking spaces..if you park in the lines good..fine.. go for it I like you

but if you ever have even half of a second thought.... you have 6 other floors to pick from.. I say park your car elsewhere.

Slick mate.


I can't drive yet(not old enough) but i have practiced it where i live when my dad has been in the car teaching me, parking didn't seem that hard as some drivers make it look.

Here in Portugal bad driving is the norm. Of course, so is bad parking. And yet, we have a written exam and also an obligatory 30 hour-long lessons in driving, where you're taught all the rules of parallel parking and others. I admit though that once I got my license and a new car, I couldn't parallel park anymore. Mainly because my new car had reduced visibility in the rear, and also assisted directioning (or however you call it?) and the one I'd learnt in was an old jallopy. But I'm now proud to say I practiced and can do it well. I hate bad parking, it makes me mad. I've gone to the trouble of leaving people notes when it's plainly rude the way they have parked. Just imagine, a row of parked cars all facing forward. And then some ass comes round in his BMW and parks it perpendicualr to that. How can you not fume?!

Bad parking is not a local phenomenon.

Seriously, some people just never learned how to park.
