Background
Because by approaching a member of the public who is misusing the space, even if done so politely, usually results in verbal abuse towards the correct user of said space. The problem is coming more common&it’s putting the safety of children at risk. The spaces are larger so that us parents have more room to safely access our child and remove them/place them into the car, whilst protecting near vechiles from damage due to opening the door wide. Spaces could be moved further away to prevent this
