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...

That's a ford ranger, which is only a bit longer (~200mm) than a short wheel base Mercedes sprinter and significantly shorter (~1800mm) than the extended wheel base version

That's true, things can be even worse.

People carrying things are the ones who probably should have cars. No one is taking a few hundred kilos of cement on the bus
