Depends what car i'm in.

If i'm driving something decent, i'll park away from everybody, or in parent and child.

Generally i've never been bothered as its only a car at the end of the day. However if it was something a little special I'd just park it a bit away from everyone else.

Parking over two spaces is just rediculous and if anything will attracts attention from people who want to cause malicious damage tbh.

lol You've not used them have you? They're much wider and even a door fully swung open wouldn't make contact.

I usually park in parent & child spots or else further away from the doors. The odd time I'd take up two spaces.

I never park in between two cars. When I park at uni and work I always park on the end of a row right on the white line so the one car next to me is less likely to smack my car with their door. Supermarkets etc I'll park missions away from the shop away from everyone else and just walk further

nnaaa I give a fuck, I just make sure the space is wide enough to open both doors enough to get out. Fuck walking 100 yards more than I need to just in case

People who use 2 spaces are cunts, that attracts attention and more likely to get your car damaged I would say. I either park further away or in a space properly.

This is how I park mine usually, but on the end of a row so I'm not going to fuck anyone off

Not my car btw

The second one. Also, NEVER park next to something that children are likely to be getting into e.g. people carriers, 4x4s, any Mercedes as they'll destroy your car when opening their doors.
