the school run is always madness

so many park in the worst places and speed and make crazy manoeuvres BUT they are the people that would be most affected.

hint... leave the house 5mins earlier and be prepared to walk more than a few hundred meters

Courtesy of an eBay advert - they've done well to get quite a few parking fails racked up.

I would suspect this is a dealer selling it. Why you wouldn't try to take a nice picture of your ex-pride and joy is beyond me. It has can't be a***d all over it.

In Germany there are quite a few multi-storey car-parks which do not allow you to back in (es ist verboten!)
Yes. Our apartment in Geneva has a byelaw prohibiting reverse parking in the underground car park. The exhaust fumes might mark the wall. Switzerland loves its rules.

However, most drivers, myself included are cheerfully indifferent and the rule is never enforced.

What is wrong there?? The only thing I can see is technically the mondeo is facing the wrong way. Not best as reflectors could confuse at night.

Door's open, he's probably nipped inside to pick his flask and sarnies up. Shouldn't be on the pavement, but would obstruct the road more.

Link to some crackers today.

There is a community centre up the road and a car dealership. Don't mind usually but there is always one or two who like to take it up a botch.

I went for a run on Wednesday and tried to back into a space next to a Golf with to women in there. It was dark and the white lies were hard to see. When I backed in, it was apparent that the Golf was on the lines, so I aborted my parking attempt and found another space. Shortly after, another car came along and did almost exactly as I did.

As soon as the second car moved away, the Golf driver got out and had a look at her parking, realised she needed to raise her game and parked her car properly.

Ahh but, (Not wanting to start something) It is illegal to drive on the pavement but parking on it is still a grey area. You would have had to drive on the pavement to get there.

However if you obstruct the pavement then you are liable for prosecution.

Neither of them are breaking the law but both have!

only in london are you not allowed to park on the pavement

everywhere you shouldn't but as long as you leave space for pram, wheelchair, blind person then its acceptable.

i would rather see them parked like that than causing issues on the road

my friend used to have a 911 and park in disabled spaces!

he had terminal cancer and was registered disabled from the chemo.

people would always shout at him as he got out for his tiring trip around the shops.

he'd just shout back "im disabled not bloody poor!!"

haha

Experienced this one today blocking the in-laws drive.



Her excuse was that she just thought it was an alley, wtf that makes it ok I have no idea as even if it was just an alley it's very obviously in use.
What makes it even worse is that the house she was visiting is the one on the left of the picture. ie the one with a massive amount of empty drive to park on!
