You took the words right out of my mouth...it applies to several other car makes I could mention, there's a clause in the owners manuals that says the laws of the road don't apply to them and specifically you can double park where the hell (sorry Rev) you like

Funnily enough I was in a Range Rover for the first time two days ago, as a passenger. In the short space of time I was in it, the driver commented on 3 separate occasions when cars passed us that "they seemed to enjoy driving at him and forcing him over to the left"...the fact that a Range Rover is a ridiculously over sized vehicle for the majority of small roads was missed

There was an argument that you need one '...when you live in the country...' - yes, if you're a hill farmer in Derbyshire, not when you live in Essex.
