Exceeds marked bay area - really?

Take a trailer next time :)

You'll need to buy two parking tickets if you park a car and trailer in two spaces. I had to a while ago in Maidstone when parking an L200 with a Cobra on a trailer. Parking attendant wouldn't let me park in a coach bay.

Andi.
 
The like how the very photo the enforcement officers took demonstrates that there was no loss occurring and the world continued as normal.

It's a free car park so there was never any loss even if he parked a coach in there.

Free or not, there was no loss, financial or otherwise. All spaces were used, nobody died of horror requiring medical treatment, the town didn't catch fire etc.

To be fair, that renault had to park like that. Any car park dings and the thing would be written off.

OP - you must have realised when you got out that your parking may have impeded someone parking in the space behind. Why not just park elsewhere in the first instance? To me a hint of arrogance may have landed you the charge and wish you luck getting it nullified.
 
the thing that annoys me the most about car parks is the person who parks nose in but as far to the left in their space as possible to give themselves extra room to get out the drivers door. in that situation i then reverse in with my passenger door about an inch from theirs so unless their passenger is a sheet of a4 paper they aint getting in. i also note the reg, make, model and colour if they hit my car they would be at fault as my car is within the white lines.
 
Other cars in the spaces behind the entitled parker aren't a defence against loss imo, because bigger cars would have been prevented from using those spaces and may have had to go elsewhere (not sure what happens to the earnings argument in a free car park!).

I always overhang the nose in this situation and from the op's language, I'm not even sure that he realised his arse was hanging out, which is pretty impressive.

Of course it's a defence against loss. The spaces are filled with (presumably) paying customers, therefor no loss to the company. Sure, bigger cars may be excluded from them spaces, and have to go elsewhere, but the spaces were still filled.

I do not, however, consider this in any way justification for such poor parking. Personally, in such a space, my car would have been parked as tight to the hatched side as possible, with the rear bumper just within the rear white line, and the front overhanging by whatever amount is necessary. And straight of course. Obviously straight. Wouldn't want people thinking Ray Charles was driving a 5 series.
