Nice Parking Today!
Testing day.
Took SWMBO for one of many medical appointment over the last two or three years in her VW Tiguan and thought the parking efforts of one of our RRS colleagues was a bit much.
Found this when we got back to the car
Some people.................

Looks like a wall on his RHS so would need to be more left to get out, or even to swing into the space. Sensible choice would have been to reverse into the space.

Noted - there were several empty spaces to the rear of my standing position
Seems more testing when you are there to see the men in white coats - there is enough stress in the visit as it is."Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"

Just like our local Tesco, park far end with no cars anywhere near to find a cluster of cars around mine within 15 minutes. My theory is the drivers think their car gets lonely and wants friends around it.
There is a lot of sense in parking close passenger to passenger to leave what space there is for driver doors to open. Should be done everywhere. Driver can easily stop once vehicle is out of space to load passenger(s).A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

This week I had to climb in through the tail-gate of my RRS as two complete and utter had parked too close either side of me to get in through the doors.
Given we are all co-employees of the same big green oval company makes me think of them as even bigger to be honest
