Why is it the wrong side, guys?. Naff parking . yes..

Unless it is a one-way street, you're not supposed to park like that in Germany (and probably most other countries I know).

It's not generally illegal in the UK, but even in situations where it is people ignore the laws anyway. 
They are a real hazard when trying to drive out of a parking spot while unsighted (due to sitting on the "wrong" side of the car to see past other parked vehicles). 
I often find myself having to avoid cars jutting out into the road or coming towards me diagonally in my lane, but people seem oblivious to the risk because they've always done it that way.  Smiley
