on zigzags, for a pedestrian crossing, by a primary school, 2 minutes before the children came out...

He was a visitor, I had a word in the office and he moved it 5 mins later.

should have just called the police....

Saw this today and thought of Pistonheads! My photo doesn't really show the parking in all its glory. Front wheel was actually into the next space, rear wheel is not far off it. Plus the front of the van was well into the walkway in front of the space. And where do we start with the signwriting on the side of the van? Oh, and obviously there was no blue badge displayed, either.
What doe the tyres, brakes, repairs and MOTs own then?

Do the van sticker company just laugh and do it? I imagine proof reading is an other 50p and people are too cheap.

I like the Italians attitude to parking. What's annoying here seems the norm there.

Want to park? Just park where you damn well like.
Indeed. Just spent a week there and could have filled this thread three times over with the stuff they get up to...naturally having a Fiat Panda hire car rather than my GB plated own car, I did my best to blend in by parking all over the shop too smile

His "business" email contact is a hotmail account too! This guy is really going places.

I certainly wouldn't trust him with my P&J.
His grammar skills quite possibly don't impact on his tyre fitting skills but I just won't take the chance.

On the rocky road to Therma beech, I had the sense to the leave hired ATV at the top of the road, but sooooo many people struggled to get back up that gravel path along the side of the cliff..... I thought one guy in a 106 was going to end up in the sea tongue out

Spotted this one at McDonald's in Flint today, more or less empty car park and takes up 4 spaces;

Now, I can understand that. If the car park's virtually empty, there's no real need to park within a single bay.

This one outside Wickes, Stamfordham Road, Newcastle. Every time I go there, this car is parked like this. Someone must really want to defend their diesel BMW!

That'll do! There were plenty of 'normal' spaces elsewhere.

Parked 5 yards from the school gate.



Yellow line is in play during entry and school kicking out time.

I spoke to him prior to taking the picture. The school gates were shut and he did not get the irony of 'shall I get the school care taker to open the gates for you'.

When I explained that yellow lines were there for a reason. He just said 'I don't care. I'll park here if I want'. Whatever, I tried to explain he just replied 'I don't care'.

I hate the CCTV cars as most. However, it does make an appearance by the school everynow and then. I always thank them for turning up.

I wonder if the photos shown here, that clearly show the offence and numberplate could lead to fines being sent out? After all what further proof do you need?
Parking on Zig-zags, parking on double yellows, dangerous parking, parking in disabled bays - oh it's all here!
