Parking is not as difficult as some drivers make it look and even if your car dwarfs others on the road, when it comes to parking; bays really are designed to fit all types of cars. Asides having an idea of the length and width of your car, when it comes to safely fitting into a parking bay, it is important to remember to allow space for your door to open without denting the body of the car next to yours.
When you park on or over the lines other motorists will struggle to get in or out of their own cars, if at all they can use the bay next to your car. Parking inconsiderately leads to frustration and sadly, your car being keyed or vandalised in some other way.
