The thing about parking close together is that cars come in so many lengths so, at the moment it looks as though my car is parked across two potential spaces as I squeezed my small car between a motorcycle and a huge old car. This morning, the bike and the big car have both gone and there is 3/4 of a car space between my car and the one that was parked on the other side of the bike. So ?bad parking? is not always to blame for spaces.
