In London, England, where the roads are narrow, the parking spaces are limited and we have plenty of availability of vans that can actually fit things in, we still get these a*holes with their unnecessary large pick up trucks made for a road system completely different to ours...

These spaces are wider than usual and long enough to fit them but they still have to park like w*nkers blocking the only footpath around!

I mean, I have a 5 door hatchback and know that my car overhangs the back wheels, as does any primary school kid drawing a car...

It doesn't matter if it were being used for its intended purpose, parking like this is absolutely wrong.

Only partly disagree. They parked fine, hell they parked backwards which is the perfect way to park. They could have moved a bit more forward, yes, which wouldnt have ruined the sidewalk but you cant have both with these shit cars

Agreed, ultimately there isn't really a way to actually park these cars safely without taking up two spaces - which is in itself selfish.
