Rarely see that with an SRW. But not unusual for DRWs in tight parking lots.
TRue to a point but some parking spots are to short as well as too narrow.
I get it that most spots were not designed for my dually's width, but some cannot accommodate the length either.
Often I will occupy two spot due to length.
Oh yeah, I generally try to find two spots nose to nose and pull all the way thru to the opposite spot. That's to avoid backing out when I leave. That's not so bad since I added a backup camera but I still would rather pull out forward. But anyway stopping the truck at the end of the lines often leaves 3 ft or so in the back space.
Again the parking lot designers are sort of at fault. Of course they are trying to squeeze in as many spaces as possible. The city planning department has told them they need X number of spaces for a certain store size. So they try to minimize the space used for the parking lot. Thus the spaces are not intended for trucks. And possibly the city defines how much space constitutes one parking spot, so many square ft.
