sorry nothing wrong with that!....when I am spending 20k plus on a car, I don't want it to be wrecked by peeps who don't care about there cars.....even if the car cost 5k...it still costs the owner MORE money to repair the dents that other A**holes make in it.....

1. ruining the lines of your car
2. making you feel like C**P as you now have to get it repaired out of your own money
3. knowing that someone out there has done it and you don't know who it was to give them a good thrashing.

so to all those who double space park....as I am certainly one of them!
here endith the cerman.

Whenever I take my mother shopping I make a point of parking the parent and child spaces.

Someone should do a poll on this - I would be quite interested to see what percentage of people on here think its ok to park in

1. 2 spaces
2. Parent and Child Spaces
3. Disabled Spaces
4. Drop off/Pick Up Spaces

Maybe im getting a little old mannish about this but its one of my pet hates along with people who sit behind you in a 30 'showing' themselves by moving their car nearer the centre line as if they are going to outbreak you into the next set of traffic lights F1 style!

I think parking in 2 spaces to be daft.

My car is a daily drive, - and hasn't recieved a single door ding or scratch from parking, - I just park sensibly (ie, at the end of a bay 1mm from the curb, - or at the other end of a the car park, - whatever, - just use common sense).

Even if I believed that parking in 2 spaces was acceptable, I wouldn't do it, - as I wouldnt be suprised to find my car keyed by someone who thought I was an arrogant ****.

It's your decision to spend that much on a car though, and accept the risk that comes with it. It doesn't give you the right to inconvenience others by taking up more space than you need.

Spending more than average on a car does not entitle you to special treatment.
