That would be an example of absolutely shocking, reprehensible f%^&wittery, but in fact it's all OK because it looks like they've got their hazards on wink
What pisses me off is when vehicles put the hazzards on, especially trucks, then someone else parks behind them, I being a curtious sort of chap, on approach can only see the outside indicator going, so slow down and flash them out, only to find out as I pass them (because they didnt pull out), they are parked with hazards on, feckers.

Your post demonstrates once again some of the idiots on our roads these days.

Cant make it out, but are they blocking one of those raised bit of pavement for the impartially sighted to help them know where they are for crossing?

By "your post" do you mean the original with the photo? I did qualify mine with the raised eyebrow of sarcasm smile
Sorry, you have lost me there, I have quoted your post exactly as posted.

I may be being oversensitive: you said "Your post demonstrates once again some of the idiots on our roads these days", and I wasn't sure if you thought I was in any way endorsing the use of hazard lights to try and legitimise parking in f%^&ing stupid places and was therefore one of the "idiots".

To be fair, fking hate those spots beside the walls, you cant actually get people out that side in most car parks.

Why it isnt designed to just be 3 wide spots with the pillar a few feet over is madness..

I actually like them, I let the boss out first, then reverse in with the pillar to my nearside, that protects that side of the car.

Then again I am a reversing God biggrin

Seriously, each to their own, no right and wrong.

Two things strike me.


1) when me and the missis went out in islington we parked at the NCP there, it was almost empty. I found a spot exactly like that, 2 spaces on their own. I parked in between them. I am determined to keep this new car dent free for as long as possible. The last one was full of them in the end. Each time i find another bit of damage i didn't have a hand in doing a little piece of me dies inside frown

Having said that, if it had been busy i wouldn't have been a tosser, i'd have just accepted that something was going to happen.

2) when i worked in East London parking was at a premium, but we had 6 visitor car spaces and one of them was a designated disabled spot which was handy considering we dealt only with people who either had severe mental or physical issues.

Problem was, the spot was like that one on the left - one side right up against a wall. How is anyone with a wheelchair supposed to get out of a spot like that, especially if there is already another car by the side of it.

I'm sorry but that is bad parking, not tapping the wall in that situation is luck more than judgement.

Looks to me like the space by the wall is wider than the others, so therefore no bother!
