Maybe the guy with the bike parked like that in order to leave room for golf carts .. i always backed in since Harley bikes are heavy and hard to back up when facing downhill

Probably, but that's not the issue grumpy bear is stressing about.

That is probably right. People with Bikes and Carts tends to respect each other and the fact that they can share spaces. If I saw a 'normal' Cart parallel parked that would be annoying. Those limo carts are the only ones that need that room....

Yeah, guy in the car was wrong and should not have parked in two spots.

Do we really need such large spaces? Not a traffic or parking engineer but they seem extremely long. There looks to be enough space for the car to move up, the motorcycle to stay, and a cart to park next to the motorcycle.

The white car and the blue car on the other side also look like they may be parked over lines as well.

Is it known for a fact which vehicle parked there first? Maybe the Harley got there first and intentionally left room for another car or for golf carts? When I pull into an empty space with my golf cart I always park in the middle so no car will park there but only other carts. Besides, the spaces in The Villages are probably twice the size of a normal town street parking spot. I always LMAO watching people hitting the curb when parallel parking when the spots are so large they can drive right in. Some guy popped the bead on his car the other morning at LSL trying to "fit in" to a spot twice the size of his car.

If the car arrived at 3AM and there was no one else on the street then he/she was wrong and should not have parked in two spots.

If the Harley was there first and the man/woman in the car tried to squeeze in then they were wrong and should not have parked in two spots.

It is not known which vehicle was there first, but it is known that the person in the car was wrong and should not have parked in two spots.

In The Villages?
You bet.
Even larger would still be a problem to at least 61.73% of residents!

No need to assume rude behavior in this particular case since we don’t know the entire story. However, get rid of all the parking space “lines”, except for designated specific uses (handicap, loading, etc. ). Do we really need lines to tell us where to park? I know many people will say “get back in the box”, literally.

Perhaps, but the question so far this week appears to be: Do you have 2 X chromosomes or did you have surgery to just appear that way?????

Ahhh you really think they know how badly they park. I watch people run over handicap parking signs, and didn’t have a clue. You now live in a retirement community, somethings are going to be different. I would love to see the excessive speeding tickets than spending money because you have to park 2 spots farther out

Let me think ??? Where did all the bad Parker’s come from? If they parked bad where they came from, coming here NOT going to change their parking habit’s. Any event parking, parking get ___ up eventually.
