  • It depends on who owns the land 45 cm from that property. Would you like someone parking their vehicle that close to your house?

    If you car damages their property you are liable, it doesn’t need to catch fire, leaving bloddy great wheel marks on their property could be classed as damage

  • Any damage your car does regardless of the distance you are parked from anywhere would be accountable to your insurers.

    If your car caught fire and burnt a row of houses down your insurance company will have a bad day.

    That is why cars must be insured if kept on a public accessible car park.
