MaveriK Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 A simple question, at what percentage of you reversing your rear end out of a parking space do you have right of way and others have to wait for you to complete? My rule of thumb was that if i have over 50% of my car out of the space approaching vehicles give way but this has been called into question with a little disagreement a few weekends back. Thoughts?

Mk4Gaz Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I think that if someone has already started reversing out of a parking space, common courtesy would be to give way to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Common courtesy has mostly gone in the bin like many other things I was trying to get out of a parking space on the side of road the other day and had to wait a long time before anyone left me a gap to get out of, sometimes you get the opposite but not very often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Around here, more often than not, the disabled parking places are filled with ignorant and selfish able-bodied persons cars. On two of these occasions I have asked politely if the perpetrator(s) had a Blue parking badge, however, both times resulted with receiving threats of physical violence. One was a plumbers van parked diagonally across both bays and the other, 2-cars with 8 young Bucks sat there eating beefburgers. Sadly, common courtesy and/or good manners almost no longer exist in U.K. Scumtastic!
