How does that work given that various vehicles have extreme variance in the overhang, even at the front? And that's not mentioning the rear overhang which can be fairly major on some trucks (and old Caddies, etc). The protection is still needed, actually even more so, if you decide to reverse into the space one day.
BTW...this must be bollard heaven out here because they are very, very common...and always called if missing.
