Parking Censors...

[Holden]

I have recurrent nightmares where I return to my car to find that somebody has stoved in my door with theirs!!

Dude you are certainly not the only one, i dont get my car till the 29th but already have planned where im parking at work, what ill do at supermarkets and as for curbs, never have i been so bloody scared of them haha!! Taking up two spaces in a car park would scare me too, i bet people would be like ''What a W***ker taking up two spaces'' gets there keys out and... well the thought is scaring me haha!

Park well away from kerbs (dont want scuffs on the alloys) and I always park in a quiet corner of supermarket car parks and then take up 2 spaces. I have recurrent nightmares where I return to my car to find that somebody has stoved in my door with theirs!!

Its the shopping trollies you need to watch out for. Have had damage in the past from people not having learnt to control them. I too park as far away from he supermarket entrance as possible as you run less of a risk of damage due to the fc most people try to park as close as possible to the entrance.

Me too - problem is I park in the far corner away from the entrance and all on my lonesome and then I come out some muppet has parked next to me !! Touch wood no dinks yet though

[BEEFERS]

I tend to park near the more Expensive motors i.e mercs BMW's Bentleys ya know what I mean , they don't want to mark there car by dinking yours
I still find it hard to trust the reverse senser beeps , I get out and look to see if I can go a couple more inch's

The last time I parked away from any cars in a car park my mates kept saying it was parked alone cause it's ginger

Agreed. Nothing annoys me more then that kind of behaviour regardless of the capacity of the carpark at the time, no offense to the poster but I find it selfish to park like that.

[lfcrule1972]

Yep no excuse for parking in two spaces, see it a lot round us with Range Rovers, Mercs, BMW's and Audi's.....

Supermarket car parks are a nightmare, i work in one! had 9 dings in my c2 when i traded it in, currently park my new car at the furthest point away but it hasn't stopped an idiot dinking it, couldn't believe it. Getting the feeling it comes with car ownership these days. 10 years ago when i had a 106 not a mark on it after 4 years of owning it, but nowadays it doesn't seem to matter how or where you park.

A lot of the issue I feel is the fact that Insurance companies place so much on NCB these days, and even having one minor little claim can make such a huge impact on your renewal. Because of that people tend to 'try and get away with it' more and more and unfortunately car parks are the worse offender.
