Double parking should be an automatic tow even if half the lot is empty.

I'd be happy with small print that says you have to buy two parking tickets. Nice and small at the bottom so they don't realise and just get slapped with a £90 fine whenever they park like it.

Being in Aus, a car park like this would most likely be free.

If I couldn't find parking I would 100% do what the white car did (and have done before)

I went to work one day at Disneyland. And a truck took 4 parking spots, right at the front. The lot was packed, people were parking at the end of the rows not even in spots. I drive a very small car. My hood fit under their bumper so I parked in front of them in just one of the spots they took.

I came back to a nasty note on how they paid for 2 spots (but took 4) and how much of an asshole I was for parking in the only spot I could.

How about free the with small print that if you take up two spaces it's 90 dollar bucks an hour, payable by calling a premium rate number?

in parking lots, the parking is free, unless you're in a parking garage or on a street meter, and even sometimes parking garages don't charge admission. Though it's less common.

These lots are almost always at a store, where people buy things, and the companies make money.
