I would think they'd put you through with the high vehicles (coaches, camper vans etc) into one of the single tier carriages rather than the 2 tier ones for cars.
You're the first to point that out ! Something that I had thought might be possible ! It must be difficult to A: judge when to turn into the carriage and B: get it straight afterwards. In my so far limited experience, straightening up requires a little distance to complete. Likewise getting off the other end ?
It's not that easy with a car in the car carriage. Don't believe me ! Take a look at the tyre marks that are along the edges !
I must admit my ferry crossings were painless. Apart from almost being directed up the second deck ramp with the cars! Problem is, if you don't know any better you just go where directed. trusting the marshal's to send you to the right place. That very nearly ended in tears ! Fortunately I challenged him and he realized his mistake ! I still had to back up a bit though !
