Great to see #carspreading enter the Collins Dictionary today! Ever bigger cars are squeezing space for the rest of us and making our streets far more dangerous, especially for children.

Time for words to turn into action and before it’s too late 🙏

You’ve probably noticed it.

Cars spilling out of parking spaces. SUVs you can’t see past when crossing the road. Pavements with barely enough […]

A great deal of carspreading been visible here in Hove over last 5 years with huge SUVs filling up our residential roads, emitting more chemicals including CO2 + being a greater danger, due to lack of driver visibility, to children crossing roads + general awareness of more wankers on our roads 🙄.

Cars have been growing in size for years, making streets more dangerous, especially for children.

This phenomenon is called carspreading.

Once you notice it, you’ll see it everywhere.

Sign the petition against carspreading.

"carspreading" that word should be the winner of course but not its cause; the massive growth in massive, wholly unnecessary cars that are of greater risk to other road users, human health and that of the natural environment. These cars should be made the pariahs of all roads.

Cars have been getting bigger for years. Longer, wider, taller – making streets more dangerous and especially for kids.

There is a name for this: Carspreading.

And once you see it, you start seeing it everywhere.

Sign the petition against car spreading.

Mange nye biler har veldig høyt panser, og er veldig store.

Finnes det forskning på om dette gir større skade i ulykker?

Jeg frykter at det vil gå mye hardere ut over myke trafikanter, og da spesielt barn.

London is congested and crowded, with pedestrians & cyclists competing with cars for space. So the last thing we need is bigger & bigger cars. Fortunately there's a campaign against #CarSpreading.

🌍 Who knew a group of non-native English speakers could help shape the English language? 😉

We've been using the word #Carspreading for months - and now it's officially in the Collins Dictionary! 📚

Giving a problem a name helps people recognise it, talk about it and challenge it. 💚

‘Mogging’ has been named the Collins English Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2026, following a 210% increase in usage.

Popular with Gen Z & Alpha, the slang term describes outshining or outperforming someone else.

Other words to make the shortlist include 'carspreading', 'fricy' & 'ghost job'.
