Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.
That’s not an SUV that’s a trucklet
While trucks are complete nonsense to have for 9/10 owners, sometimes it's choosing between two evils. Either park it like this, or have it stick out this far at the front, blocking traffic flow.
Instead of being infuriated by the way it's parked, we should be just because it's a truck that Is useless to have, especially in the Netherlands.
I mean, the answer is "Your vehicle is too large to park here." It's one of the reasons I drive a smaller car, parking is a bitch where I'm from and I'd hate passing up spots because I can't fit.
Block the flow of traffic. Vehicle traffic has predefined rules to deal with this and it happens all the time. Now you're forcing pedestrians to go onto the road creating a safety hazard. Strollers, like with OP, or disabled people or really you name it are severely disadvantaged by this, just because this person needed a gigantic car thought vehicle traffic was more important than pedestrians.
I'm not saying one is better than the other, all I'm saying is that both ways it sucks and trucks in general are just infuriating.
I'm saying one is better than the other, significantly even. But yes, trucks in general are infuriating. They're more dangerous for other road users in every single way. You can barely see people over the hood. Other road users are not crash compatible and they use up a lot of space and use a lot of fuel. There's no reason for these to be around other than feeding people's egos.
Then buy a smaller truck????????? Why the fuck does anyone need a car that massive
That's not an SUV... But yeah it looks like they backed up ONTO the curb, that's pretty rude...
Ah my bad, in Europe we don't see many of these cars. How would you call it? A truck?
of course the one person in europe who owns a pickup would park it on the sidewalk
Speaking as a Dutch person, our infrastructure just isn't made for cars this size. People basically need to enlarge their driveways to park something like this. So if you need to park a car like this it's almost impossible. That would stop most people from getting one, except the type of person that does buy one...
I'm in the U.S., and this a problem here. Part of it is financial -- auto makers found a market for morons who will finance a $50,000 truck they have no need for.
And they drive like they are invincible. Last week I (Mazda3) almost got crushed by two of these road monstrosities. After taking evasive action to a avoid a head on collision, I got tailgated by another idiot who very nearly rear ended me.
This is also a rural area with no street lights, and a lot of these trucks are designed with a second set of headlights that blind you.
Ow damn. Weird seeing my city and a car that I know. The owner lives in my apartment complex. There are some 'main character'-parking-toddlers living at my place that get my blood boiling every time they try to redefine the lines on the parking lot.
The Netherlands?
Yes, now for some geoguesser genius to also state the city.
I was gonna comment something northern, like Groningen, but on close inspection, to the top right I spotted a old-timey triangular home front, which is absolutely too high up.
So it must be the Zaandam Inntel, am I right?
That's not an SUV, it's a pickup truck.
The parking is almost as infuriating as OPs title.
See, my crippled ass is going to squeeze through anyway. Even if that means the metal clasps on my shoulder bag grind against the vehicle, or even if the attachment point for the strap on my cane happens to dig in if I happen to stumble because of the tight space.
Will that result in dents and scrapes? Absolutely. Do I care? Absolutely not.
Usually I scratch the paint off. Sure it's not acceptable, but fuck cars. I've also smashed the ad signs in Sydney.
It's a garbage truck now. Everyone bring out your garbage.
This is very dangerous for people like me!

Blocking sidewalks anywhere is a shitty move. If you can’t park without blocking the sidewalk, you shouldn’t park there. This includes your own driveway
Good luck to anyone in a wheelchair.
Key that shit
If you try it, watch your shin on that ball hitch.
Extremely annoying when it's done so often, cars just love intruding every little space they can.
Would be a shame if someone would squeeze between the trunk amd the wall....while not caring about any metal piece sticking out
Let me just squeeze on by ya with this shopping cart lined with steel wool. Sorry, pedestrians aren't allowed on the road!
