    Practical answer: because they haven’t installed concrete wheel stops on the ground in that parking lot. If that’s a used walkway, they should.

    I know, people are assholes, etc. I’m just mentioning a solution that is actually available, where unassholing everyone isn’t.

      I don’t know, man, I’m still routing for having a bulldozer drive over random walkways throughout the day.

      Bad at parking or got a car that just won’t fit into parking lots? → Enjoy a newly shortened car.

      Beautifully put. So often there are simple solutions to these problems.

      Ive started to see these more and more, and imo they are a good thing! They really prevent this b/s from happening!

      Though sometimes i feel they are placed a bit much too the front for my hatchback, but i understand this is so family cars dont go too far either

        I have poor spatial awareness and learning to drive later in life - plus still getting to know my car. With a long, low nose, these bumpers are so handy, particularly the lower ones and/or made of rubber, so I don’t scrape my car’s poor snout!

          After a while you just get used to the fact that your license plate is going to be bent at the very bottom if it doesn’t have a plastic holder behind it.

      I have never seen these things in my life. Apparently they are not a thing where I live. But it’s sad that we need something like that so that idiots learn to park.

      Not with that attitude. Just need enough superglue and some determination…
