RC86405 - Causing Unnecessary Obstruction

[giblet]

For the record it isn't my car, I wasn't driving it nor did I park it! I have a habit of parking too damn close to the kerb, has resulted in quite a few kerbing incidents over the years.

Vaud - no other cars were ticketed apparently. I told the driver that the parking was piss poor. I'll tell them to just pay the fine.

[Who me ?]

Could the problem be the amount of access left open across the road between cars, meaning problems for emergency services getting down the road.

There must be plenty of 4x4s and luxo barges that are as wide as the Micra + distance to kerb, they would take the same space and cause the same obstruction, but be legal

What was her response?

Whoever gave that ticket would love it in Bristol. Not many people seem to be able to get within a foot of the kerb around Clifton.

Someone needs to practise their parking more, please tell the offender to take an hour or so to practise in a painted line carpark, then no fear of kerbing or damage and he/she can the hang of it better.

Im in complete agreement with the sentiment that it terrible parking etc etc, but the childish PH way getting red faced and shouty rarely gives any advise or help. Pay the fine and count themselves lucky that its that cheap!
Other places would take your wing mirrors off for parking like that/dump it in a field.

I told her to pay the fine, she agreed and did. For what its worth I agree with Vaud that there is usually worse parking in the area but her attempt wasn't exactly great!

I feel the bigger issue is the bins obstructing the footway
Blind people might have an issue as would invalid carriages

Better get rid of all the lamp posts and other street furniture then.

It's blocking the dropped kerb, it's blocking the entrance where the wheelie bin is, and it's parked too close to the junction.
