Car Parking Nightmares!
I’m sure we’ve all experienced the frustration of driving around a packed car park only to find that the one remaining space is so tight that you’re almost tempted to leave it and drive to a different car park rather than make an embarrassing attempt to maneuver your vehicle into the space.
Well you can take comfort in knowing that some of these nightmare parking spaces have now been named and shamed as part of a recent survey by insurance firm Aviva. The British public have been nominating the worst spaces and a list of the top 10 places with the worst car park spaces has been named.
The list includes a car park space in Alton, Hamshire that is boxed in on all four sides! A car park in Brighton that has so many posts and pillars that if you do managed to get parked you’ll be lucky to get your door open and a space in Soho that has to be shared with a pillar and two water pipes.
Chesterfield the home of the infamous crooked spire and, of course, Sixt rent a car’s UK head office also deserves a mention for its Vicar Lane car park which made the top ten. Walls and ramps have been covered in paint from cars that have left their mark whilst trying to navigate through the tight layout.
View the complete top 10 on the Aviva website.

Hi Dave
Just looking at the article about ‘Car Parking Nightmares’ etc – just wondered if you were aware of the new VW Golf Plus cars now on the Sixt fleet.
Have you ever driven down a line of parked cars in a street and been faced with a gap which you are not sure if your car will fit into? And even if it will fit into the gap – you are worried that you may not be able to reverse into it very easily?
The Golf Plus takes all the worry away! You drive past the space – special sensors detect the gap and a computer decides if the car can be parked in it. You press a button – take your hands OFF the wheel and the car reverses itself into the space!
Perfect for my mother-in-law.

How long before we have cars that drive themselves? Not very at this rate!!
I wonder if you could use one of those cars on your driving test!
