        :laugh: That's hilarious in France when you look at a street and all the cars parked along the pavement are touching each other, most with scratches and dents on them ;P Regards, --Perspx

          Should have seen the old VW after living a year in France. Here in Germany your parking neighbour would kill you, if you'd just slightly touch his or her car.

            Bumper to Bumper contact straight on. Federal law requires bumpers withstand a five mile an hour impact with no damage so a nudge when parking is fine. Sure, I try to avoid it and to be honest I have only done it a handful of time (with each I did actually inspect for damage as required) but that is just how it goes. I am more offended by the jerk that opens his door without looking causing a softball size dent in my quarter panel.

              Out of interest, an impact from what? 5 mph from a feather - no problem. 5 mph from a rough stone - you've got (very slight) damage.

                http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/Cars/Problems/studies/Bumper/Index.html[^] Basically the standards are bumper to bumper impact, ie parking scenario and low speed fender benders.

                  Get a Land Rover.  I'm actually looking forward to driving in London when I return for a short period in a fortnight because I'll be driving my sister's Td5 90.  The beauty of driving that particular one is that there's sufficient mud on it that most people thing you don't care about the vehicle so steer clear of you :cool:.

                    At first I had backed in but could not figure out why that was not fine. Much harder to turn the other way around.

                      Yeah I did that too ;P It gets more tricky with the parallel parking challenge, especially with that bloody dog in the middle of the road :mad: Regards, --Perspx
