Here is where I'd like to respectfully have a difference of opinion and here's why?

So what I get from this is "two wrongs make a right".
No, not saying anything about "wrong or right." Simply saying there are other reasons why someone may take 2 parking spaces other than inability to operate a vehicle or know how to park.
How many times have you see someone (in a car) take up 2 spaces so they won't get car door dings? Far too often, really. But that does not mean they don't know how to park.
Don't misunderstand. I don't make it a practice to always hog up 2 parking spaces. I normally park in the North 40 parking lot. I was in the North 40 when my fender got hit. Doesn't make any sense. But, I do know other drivers are simply not aware of the fat fenders. They don't notice them, or think they can navigate around them when they can't, or don't, or won't. Sometimes I just get a "feel" for a new parking lot, and know better than attempt to get into a single spot. On those occasions, I do park out in the North 40.
But quite obvious, even in the North 40, there's at least one driver out there who doesn't know how to dive.... to hit a vehicle that parked completely by itself ... well ... must be deliberate then!
