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…

    I’m from a different country, so the rules might not be the same, but we have a rule to always leave a certain amount of space on the pavement, regardless what you do. Isn’t there a thing in UK driving rules (or whatever it’s called)?

      Not sure, I exchanged my EU licence to a UK one years ago, haven’t checked for such a specific thing, tbh. Again, it’s never affected me - parking a car is really not difficult, as long as one gives a crap.
