I wonder how the guys before and after the Smart car feel about that.
Probably not that different from anyone else parked there... Take a look across the street at the van.
Nobody leaves, unless everyone leaves.
I wonder what it takes to get the parking spots near the street corners?

I think everyone parks with their parking brake off (and out of gear), so that people wanting to leave simply shunt backwards and forwards until they've made enough space to leave. At least that's what my dad reports seeing in Paris about 20 years ago. Of course, that's probably not such a good idea when parking on a slope...
Or, if you think like my paternal grandfather (may he rest in peace...PLEASE!) at the wheel of his Caddy, you sidle up to the car in front of you, then gun your engine to gain some room. Then you back up a little and do the same to the one behind you.
Repeat until you have made enough room for you to follow nerfherder's plan.

Definitely not a photo from Germany then. No German could do that to his car.
