The current UK norm for parking spaces is 2.4 metres wide by 4.8 long:-
Many modern SUV stylee cars are longer than 4.8 metres and almost all
are wider than 2.0 metres inc. mirrors (the width shown in brackets).
That doesn't leave much room to open the doors.
However, that disadvantage is far outweighed by the sense of superiority
engendered by the commanding, high-up, driving position from which you
may look down your nose at the lesser mortals in their puny little cars.
Regrettably, many of the yummy mummies on the school run must either
sit on a cushion or peer through the steering wheel to see where they're
going (as if that mattered much).
