Here’s today’s bad parking job. Unless this Toyota’s driver wants to tell me that originally, there was a bike in front and a Smart ForTwo behind. Otherwise, being in the middle of a two-car space and not allowing something as small as my Renault to get in behind is not cool.

Looks like Vox has fixed its problem.
