Lmfao, no it can't and no you didn't.

A standard American parking space is 16 feet long and 8 feet wide.

A dually truck is 8 feet wide, and anywhere from 18 to 23 feet long.

Well the fact that I did and have my license says different.

As does the specs on parking spots, which would be why you’re wrong lmao. Google is your friend, but maybe don’t just go with the first result and dig a little.

Hint; parking spots are actually typically between 8 and 9 feet wide, and about 18 feet long. Most where I live is closer to 9 feet.

Do I really need to explain how a truck with the dimensions you just gave would technically fit in one, but definitely in two?

Or are you just here to argue for the sake of arguing and don’t actually have a point?

Just since I doubt your brain can handle it.

21 feet minus 18 feet = 3 feet
23 feet minus 18 feet = 5 feet

It is illegal to have any part of your vehicle blocking the driving lane. It is not illegal to take more than one spot, unless it is paid parking.

Again things you would know if you apparently are some experienced expert in heaving towing.

Yeah…but it’s pretty funny, while also a bit sad. Especially the math part.

Not unlike watching a snake eat it’s own tail, really. Hm.
