Coincidental parking

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I have noticed during the last few years that when we park our car in large car parks, we often find that as we return to our car, the driver of the car parked next to us ( one side or the other) has also just returned to their car and is also leaving. This seems to occur more frequently then I would have expected by chance.
