Loading...Have different sized parking spaces (smaller=cheaper) to encourage people to buy smaller cars
There is way too much competition for parking space and lots of spaces that are just a bit smaller than the standard space is not being used by local councils. You know where I am going with this…. smart cars could park in so many wasted spaces and yes, it would bring the councils more revenue from unused land.
Ahem, fat arsed Nissan Navara owners… “The Accident Exchange claims parking prangs have increased by 35 per cent since 2014. Parking related bumps now account for more than 30 per cent of accidents in 2016. And it’s estimated there are approaching one million car parking collisions every year. These cost drivers nearly £2bn a year.”
Oversized people have to pay more on aeroplanes, why don’t small car people get to pay less to park? Ramp up the costs for greedy big car owners is the ideal solution, and yes, will different sized bays – nowadays some cars are twice the size of others, at a cost to everyone else.
Cars are getting bigger, not smaller. Though the bays are staying the size they were 50 years ago. So instead, just have less parking spaces, after all roads are for driving on, not parking your cars.
