……………….I wonder if they milk the unsuspecting drivers.
I think most Council parking boxes are like that mostly because the measurements laid down in regulations were drawn up when we all drove around in Austin 7's. With all the various passive safety features installed on modern cars - side impact bars, crumple zones etc - and, dare I say it, we are all a lot bigger than we used to be they have to be. Having said that, you should still be able to get all the wheels into the space, which is what counts as far as parking contraventions go, or did some wea$el manage to nab you?
