Whoa. Bit harsh. But a little deserved. All the bad parkers look like L'Oreal generation people.
L'Oreal generation?

This is one of my top irritations, happens most nights on my way home, people park half on road / path in front of a newsagents with their lights on full, and because there's a lot of traffic both ways, you're sat waiting to overtake this parked clown with their lights shining right at you while they sit in the car clueless..
Clueless is the word. No idea that their lights point towards the left and the front fog (wker) lights are not 'sporty' and the rear ones should not come on when it rains.

It's noteworthy that the parkers seem annoyed by the paint, but only the passenger acknowledges the cause.

Not apt all. Someone else's stupidity should not be matched by stupidity. Damaging someone else's property? That is as much a crime as parking in a disabled bay. On what basis do people appoint themselves as judge, jury and executioner? That behaviour will solve nothing. Why not leave a polite, well reasoned note under the wiper, if you feel you must comment, rather than causing criminal damage that is just going to make the car owner stupidly angry and even less likely to take the point?

I think the guy with the spray can is as much a prick as the idiot parkers.

You are being waaaay too generous. That's not parked, that's just abandoned.

So a video about someone's response to bad parking isn't apt in a thread where we are responding to someone's bad parking? I don't get you.

Sure, I don't think anyone agrees with his methods, but how can you say it isn't appropriate for this thread?

I know this is the "Bad parking" thread, but I just wanted to show this dick head I saw today when I was looking for bad parkers.

What possesses people to drive like this, probably same ones who don't bother clearing their windows when it snows, I was tempted to wet my finger and draw a dick on the window.



Right ho, back on the prowl for bad parkers.

The silver one already had a creased roof.

I'm guessing those cars must have been used in tests and needed destroyed afterwards.

Why bother parking in one of the three empty spaces (just behind the sign in the left of the pic) when you can half block the entrance?



Also, last night at Highbury corner I was trying to pull onto the roundabout I was prevented from doing so by a guy dropping off his passenger. On the roundabout. Blocking both lanes, and the Holloway Road junction.
