The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]

[rfsteel]

Presumably as the grass verge has turned into a muddy bog due to previous parking, this vehicle owner is now using the footpath to park on, it's also parked next to a school on the left;

A couple from my local Edeka supermarket here in Munich. To be fair, the golf in the second picture is just inside the bay.

Maidstone today. I think this will be a PH'er deliberately trying to get spotted for this thread!



Contender for a dirty plate award as well....

I was behind that car at traffic lights recently. Quite a strong smell of petrol

Does this qualify? It was a few months ago. I count 16 badly parked cars in this one image alone.



My car was the Passat - obviously, because I'm not a little girl and therefore don't park nose-first.

Looks like any car park would do, anywhere in the country.

Car park was rammed last night due to several cinema screenings starting at the same time. Frustrating to say the least then, that these (amongst many others, I gave up taking photos) felt two spaces were appropriate. And yes, all the others were BMWs/Audis too...






I could probably have squeezed in next to the Audi, but value my doors/mirrors.

Trovegas multi storey!
I always just head up to near the top, always lots of spaces as the lazy peple can't be bothered to walk that far!

Is that a free car park or could they be getting a bill for bad parking?

All free parking but lower levels have set parking time limits which are patrolled

The councillor is encouraging people to contravene the parking restrictions that she is partly responsible for whereas she should be instructing the council to create a short term parking area for the benefit of the shops. Having said that and from past experience I wouldn't be surprised if it's the shop owners and employees who take all the best parking spots.

Hmm, mine never did.

This old bugger nearly ran over two people whilst being adamant that he can park here

Rottingdean can be a frigging nightmare to drive through, especially whe some complete feckwit decides to park in the middle of the narrow high street to pop into the Co-op/greengrocers/barbers etc etc.
1-2 mins parked in the high street can cause chaos

I kind of assumed that since the councillor thinks it's okay to park there that it must be okay to park there and the restrictions must be a bit OTT. However it could just be that she's nuts.

Or just placating shopkeepers in the hunt for votes, while not actually doing anything positive like providing parking

That is ridiculous - and inconciderate
