Completely staggered when i seen this, who looks at this walks away and thinks 'yeah thats parked'. Shocking.
I was going to park car in the rest of the space just to see the reaction but i didnt want to risk losing a bumper if the focus driver is as bad at driving as they are parking.

Doh....... I cant open the door, god give me strength.

I Think a driving test should include about 20 reverse parking episodes, all of which should be a pass.

Hmmm... Viral video for the new Renault Cactus and its side protection? It does look conspicuously out of place...

Car only released in the last few weeks, marketed as a robust urban car with loads of exterior panel protection, high quality video, overacting by the female when she gets out of the car, video features in a Daily Mail "news" story.

Good call!

Maybe, except it's a Citroen Cactus, not Renault.

Anyhoo, technically not parked, the occupants were still in it, on the phone:

That really gets my goat. Either buy a hands free kit (think they cost about £5 these days), or find a proper place to park.

Personally, I think it looks more abandoned than parked!

If he has done that as defensive parking without inconveniencing others then I dont see the problem, but if it was parked as the best effort they could manage then it is amazing they are on the road. Car looks quite tidy so I would think the former.
