Has there been a massive increase in the width of cars? I'm dubious, if they have got wider than a few CMs I'd say that's about it, certainly not by anything like what would be needed to make the roads seem so much narrower than before.
Its a lack of planning over many years.

Three cars is excessive for one household.
I appreciate that in many cases it's because they have adult children living with parents, but it is still excessive imho. Ultimately, if a household wants to have three cars, I think the obligation is on them to figure out how to store the cars off the road (let them turn their entire front garden into car parking, or do a deal with one of the neighbours who may not be using their front of house car parking etc.)
and resent yes resent those that park outside my gaff whilst they go off to do whatever,
park in designated places not in front of peoples houses.
To each their own, I will not argue the legality of those who park up, I accept that. .
Yet you turned your own garden into a car park to avoid those same charges
yet you would be prepared to intimidate those that do and damage their cars.
Never said I would damage a car or intimidate anybody, I would not, please do not attribute comments to me that are just plain wrong.
...And more stark raving mad stuff . . . . . . . there's a match in Páirc Uí Rinn. Many of the residents there park their usually driveway-parked cars out on the public road just to make sure nobody going to the match gets a parking space. ..
Have to admit I park on the road a lot even though I have space in the drive for a number of reason.
Its slows cars down on the road. Big problem. Our road is a small road, lots of kids out. Many people speed down it.
Often if as I'm reversing into my drive people have had to mount the kerb to get around me as they are going too fast.
My house is a few house down from the start of the road. So people turn off the main road into ours without slowing down.
If you are near public transport, people will leave their cars there for weeks, often badly parked, making it very difficult to get in and out of your own drive way with another car.
It leaves space for visitors cars in your driveway.
People will park commercial vehicles and trailers outside someone else house away from their own. So as not inconvenience themselves.
That said most of our neighbours will move their cars if someone else needs the space. Indeed will offer their own drives ways if someone has a lot of visitors for a reason.
Is it excessive in your humble opinion, really ?.. What a post, there are five cars in my house including a vintage and yes cars have got wider and longer over the years, I widened the driveway to accomodate extra parking, we park off road almost always as I also extended the drive up along the side of my house, I'm glad we don't have a big family but they are growing, eldest just finished college, youngest just started, they have to drive to college so Bank Of Dad ensured the cars are road legal and properly insured, I still do not park outside my neighbours house or my own really and resent yes resent those that park outside my gaff whilst they go off to do whatever, bear in mind in my case there is cheap on street pay parking and a pay car park within sight of my gaff, these are generally miserable penny pinching people, park in designated places not in front of peoples houses.
