American car in European street / parking spot

@Reject They're literally blocking the tramline lol

@Elessar Yeah, but they don’t have a choice. The car is too big. You can’t park any better than that with it, but you can DEFINITELY park worse.

@Elessar To be fair, native Romans would block the tramline and all other traffic just by doing whatever without care in a heartbeat lol.

@Reject Blocking a tramline like that could easily land you with a four or even five digits fine, if you're lucky, or even be a felony (interruption of public service); if they parked with two wheels on the sidewalk and two other wheels on the road it would've been MUCH better already in spite of still being of course a violation of the road law 😶

@travelguy01 See, all the times I've been in Rome I've always gone there either by train or bus for a good reason 🥴 even here in my area people on the road are wild, but not to the point of blocking a tramline ffs

@Elessar We’ll there’s no doubt that it’s all illegal. You can’t around that, but if you make the bad choice to park there specifically, then you did all you could with that. So it wasn’t a lack of skill, more like a lack of good judgment. Living here in LA no one knows how to park so it was nice seeing a decent job of it even if completely illegal due to the location.

@Reject Wait, I assumed with "bad at parking" you meant they were completely disrespectful of others', like in this case by blocking a tramline; not as "physically unable to fit a car in a parking spot" 💀 (after buying a ridiculously large one no less)

@Elessar Lol. Yeah, I was thinking of people who can’t fit a car into a parking space. That’s so common here it’s sad. I guess they’re just careless. I’m not sure, but it’s too the point that people who park properly are appreciated by me even in the worst places for proper parking such as that one. I do like our large cars though. Being 6”4 they’re the only ones I can fit in properly.
