Do tell me how "I park tight enough that it dissuades passenger side doors being used" equates to "I make it even easier for my neighbours"... Mike P

My own guess would be 1 in 30. So my parking a couple of inches over towards my near-side, might by your judgement, inconvenience 1 in 30 drivers. Doing so makes it easier for me to get in and out and everyone of the drivers who's cars are parked to my off side. I used the word 'dissuade', dissuading does not mean completely prevent. Game, set and match I think - back under your bridge. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk

What do you think the ratio is off drivers who understand what you are doing and park likewise? -- MrBitsy

Ray Keattch expressed precisely : > What do you think the ratio is off drivers who understand what you are doing > and park likewise? I would suggest about 10% just park and walk off not caring if there cars obstruct others from getting out. About 20% park (or seem to) using the same method I describe or do so accidently. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
