Article in the Times today. Talks about widening the standard parking space for the first time in 50years !
As an aside does it drive anyone else nuts when they compare one size in feet and inches with a measurement in metric !

About time. I've often returned to my car and not been able to open the door wide enough to get in. I also wonder why when in a almost empty car park why some people find it necessary to park next to another vehicle

Why did cars get so fat? If you look at a little hatchback or nice sleek coupe from the 90s they look like matchbox cars now. Even the new Mini is the size of an old Range Rover now.

Because a lot of people have grown in size to match....

Thats true including myself however I can bust your theory as I drive a tiny little Hyundai i10. Stupidest car I ever owned but it refuses to die.

They have to fit in all the safety features, have crumple zones, the emissions technology, and of course the electric battery.

This doesn’t really apply to motorhomes though but they have all virtually doubled in size also, as have the prices!

Try fitting these in an old 850 mini.

Bigger spaces: GREAT
Fewer of them (to fit in the same overall area): NOT SO GOOD

And the parking charges will no doubt increase to ensure the same revenue from fewer spaces ...

Looks like she managed to secrete a couple of bubble cars in there.
