Alrighty, then. I'd like a glass of whatever the builder was drinking.
We had a house in my old neighborhood that had the side garage less than ten feet from a concrete wall. I couldn't figure how they passed inspection on that.

I have to admit. It took me a couple minutes to figure it out.

Here in the UK it wouldn't matter, so few actually put cars into their garages.

Easy explanation.
1.) Home was constructed assuming driveway would come in off main street.
2.) When applying to regulatory agency for curb cut permit, the application was refused. Curb cut too close to intersection, hill, or some other reason.
3.) Only choice was to bring driveway in from the side.
4.) Garage dimensions being square will only require builder to switch location of garage door and double windows. About 2 days work for a good carpenter crew, a new header for support above the new garage door location... and remembering to move the trash cans before driving in the garage door!!!
I've learned the hard way that there can be errors in construction of most anything. An error is not a genuine problem is you have a workable solution.

That's the American way, too. Keep your junk in the garage and your expensive car out on the driveway. I'm guilty of that.

I keep my junk in my wardrobe, at least so my son keeps telling me!

Well, I've seen some driveways that looked similar to that; just need to cut out a piece of that curb there and there ya go. 
I've seen much worse I tell ya.

Ken. Looks like a future disaster in the making.
