    Regardless of the articles claims, which are observably true, cars are getting bigger: out of interest, are all carpark spaces actually regulated and a consistent size?

    Because some car parks have fucking tiny spaces so they can cram more people in and make more money.

    And the garages in my new estate are tiny… So they can cram more in and make more money.

      It’s probably different in the UK, but in the US this might not even be the reason. A lot of cities in the US have regulations that require X parking spots per newly constructed home. It becomes prohibitively expensive to build something like a midsize apartment building because of the parking requirements.
