Among the different traffic fines there is one that you have probably never thought of. This is the penalty for parking too close to another vehicle. Most drivers have experienced at some time the feeling of having to squeeze through a tight gap left by the car next to you, or the need to make a multitude of tricky manoeuvres to reverse out after a car parked dangerously close to yours.
As a general rule, the fine for parking too close to another vehicle can vary between 80 euros and 200 euros, depending on the Spanish general road traffic regulations (RGC) that may apply.
There is no specific minimum size to leave when parking next to another car, but it is clear that logic tells us we should park in such a way that other drivers can access their vehicles comfortably or, at least, relatively easily.
If we park side-by-side, we should leave a reasonable distance on the sides, while if we park nose to tail, we should allow enough distance for the car in front and the car behind to manoeuvre out of the parking space before we return.
