The parking lot next to the building is on the passenger side of the van. You park nosed up to the building, diagonally. There is precious little room to back out, and NORMALLY you back out over the sidewalk to be sure of enough room, as in when a 4 dr pickup, etc is parked beside you.
Besides it is ENTIRELY illegal to block driveways and park on sidewalks, regardless of what else he did.
Please do not defend this sheet head. He could have easily parked around the corner on the adjoining street, he was lust too lazy to walk and extra 50 feet.
