Whereas in America, I can park across the lines without a ticket. In large store parking lots like a lumberyard, my truck doesn't quite fit in a normal space.

Whereas in America, I can park across the lines without a ticket. In large store parking lots like a lumberyard, my truck doesn't quite fit in a normal space. So I park out a ways, with the other trucks, each taking 1.25 spots. Those that have a trailer have to park it somewhere, so end up using maybe a half-dozen spots across. A simple thought experiment: how many spaces can a pickup truck take, if you park the most eggregiously you can? I figure, 6, straddling the center line assuming parallel rows facing each other. { Cue folks pointlessly asking Why do you need a big vehicle }
