      I wouldn’t say it’s always a BMW driver, but I would say of course it’s a BMW.

    I usually like to give people the benefit of the doubt and say maybe there was an idiot parked next to them that left, and now they look like the idiot. But that’s egregiously bad.

      I’ve seen one case where this was necessary although it looked equally awful (in a handicap spot, which this is not) because some asshole had originally parked half in a handicap spot, so a van with a motorized ramp didn’t have the space to extend it fully to get people out. So it had to take up both spots to extend the ramp.

      None of which appears to apply in this picture, the owner of that car is just a jerk.

      Before I even opened the comments I knew the first post was going to point out it was a BMW lol.

    I may regret saying this: I drive a BMW. Shockingly a) I indicate before turning or changing lanes and b) I can park. I have zero patience for those who don’t indicate or don’t park reasonably (regardless of car manufacturer).

    Yes, but context is important. Why did they park like that? Were there other badly parked vehicles that meant they had to choose between parking like they did and not parking at all?

    However, in this case we can see it’s a Big Metal Wanker so it’s likely they just parked like that because they couldn’t give a shit.

    License plates are not private, they are literally unobscured so everyone can see them. Why do people censor them out?

      It seems that it’s an European country, and here privacy laws are more strict regarding to licence plates on pictures. It’s wiser to censor them.

      EDIT: here is an article about the topic (in Spanish).

        And IIRC, license plates only need to be censored if bad behavior is demonstrated. Notice that the car to the left which was correctly parked has an exposed license plate.

        What baffles me is that the plate number is only meaningful to law enforcement. The public does not get access to the records associated with a plate number. I see no reason to hide the info from law enforcement. The evidence may be too low of a standard to be usable, but so be it.

          A jealous partner seeing the car where it shouldn’t had been is enough, isn’t it? Or the boss where the worker should had been elsewhere, or… Inhabitants of small districts also don’t need a license plate database to know.

    They deserve a ticket or getting towed at this point. Taking up two spots is mildly annoying, this goes way beyond that.

      No it’s a child and parent space. Although, if you think about it, children are a kind of handicap.
