More than 150 car models are too big for regular parking spaces
The ‘autobesity’ epidemic eats up public spaces
"More than 150 car models are now too big to fit in average car parking spaces. While the size of the standard parking bay has remained static for decades, cars have been growing longer and wider in a phenomenon known as “autobesity”."

@Bellingen Every vehicle too big for an ordinary parking lot should not be classified as a car. Rather as another type of vehicle that requires another type of drivers license.
Those vehicles should also have a much higher insurance fee and taxation.
