If you park with spaces on either side you get two chances of someone parking next to you an opening their doors into yours.

If you park next to somebody already there you reduce the chance of a newcomer banging your door. So you should always park next to somebody if you wish to reduce your chances of getting dinged.

Or buy an old car. The chances of getting dinged seem to be in direct proportion to the newness of your car.
