Well... You got to be ready for the ultimate asshole boss-level SUV parking on the sidewalk!

Calling wordsmiths. We all know manspreading. I'm searching for a verb with a similar connotation, but for cars. (Big car for dudes with small dicks, most likely a city panzer, taking up two lots, optionally parked on the sidewalk)

I've come across the verb "carspreading", but it feels totally made-up. Is that a word people really use or more an invention of the press?

Boosts welcome!

'Carspreading’ is on the rise - not everyone is happy.

Critics call it "carspreading". Across Europe, cars are steadily becoming longer, wider and heavier.

Consumers clearly like them – a lot. Big cars are seen as practical, safe and stylish, and sales are growing.

So, why are some cities determined to clamp down on them - and are they right to do so?

10x mehr #SUV in in Englischen Großstädten als vor 20 Jahren:

SUV verschlingen öffentlichen Raum und erschweren die Anlage von Grünflächen, Rad- und Busspuren ... und nebenbei das Abstellen eines normal großen Autos.

Sie machen Straßen gefährlicher, insb. für Kinder (Wahrscheinl. 3x höher, dass ein Kind <10 getötet wird).

Sie verursachen mehr Umweltverschmutzung durch durchschn. 20 % mehr Kraftstoff und mehr Reifenabrieb.

"Affordable" cars we'd see a lot more classically small cars Brits used to drive. Indeed, if we want to be serious about climate, road danger etc. then it's lighter, smaller cars we need a lot more of not #CarSpreading SUVs. Instead however of considering public health, climate, risk of harm...
