   Oh, I know I'll lose, I'm prepared to pay. As for parking there if there 
was a bigger vehicle parked there, and say, there was only half a space, I 
just wouldn't park there, knowing full well that I'd probably get a ticket 
with half a car stuck out the back end. But, what's that distance in the 
picture? A foot? 18 inches? It's just petty, that's all. My main point is if 
it's going to be a two car bay, then make sure that it's big enough for two 
cars in the first place, otherwise, what's the point?
