yeah - cant heklp but feel a bit sorry for her - when people do things like that it does tend to make you a bit pi**ed off.

i've seen the footage and the pushy woman really overstepped the mark. The parking spot they were both waiting for was horizontally positioned in the centre of the street. I doubt if either driver saw the other waiting and i think they had equal cliam over it.

Got a link to it? This I need to see...

[ohidunno]

Sorry no link that I'm aware of. I saw it on the regional news quite a few days ago. They didn't let the tape run for long enough. Would love to have seen/heard, the ensuing verbal.

I think that the person who stole the parking place should have been convicted for committing an inducement to dangerous driving, anti-social behaviour and committing an act likely to result in public outrage (all real offences) The judge, on behalf of the people of Andover should be asking the town planners why there are not enough parking spaces. It is a disgrace that one state organisation (the council) through their incompotence and negligently bad town planning in not providing enough parking spaces creates a situation where a relatively innocent motorist is convicted by another state organisation (the courts) using evidence gathered by another state organisation (the police). Typically, the motorist gets shafted everytime.
