Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

Using more than one parking spot for one car?

I work in Reston, VA and the parking lot at my place of employment has very small parking spaces. Sometimes I end up taking two spots up just so I can have enough room to get in and out of my car and so people dont bang into my car when they're getting in and out of their cars. Can I be ticketed or towed for taking more than one spot to park my car? There are no signs posted in the parking lot related to this matter as far as I can see.

Re: Using more than one parking spot for one car?

Assuming that the parking lot area is private property, for what and under whose authority would you be ticketed?

Towing, however, is always a posssibility if the lot owner happens to be unhappy with the manner in which you've parked your car.
