The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]

[mistakenplane]

The door past the RR is the exit.

Why look for a space when you can park right there for convenience?!

[mistakenplane]

Seems reasonable?!

[mistakenplane]

Both of these have done the "close enough" option.

If someone happened to park in the space directly to the right, twonk wouldn't be able to get out.

Oh dear, they have just introduced cameras run by "Euro Car Parks" into the car parks at B & Q, and Sainsburys in Aberdeen. Its worth a £70 fine for being outwith the lines, that will bloody teach them.

How does a camera know if it's outside the line? It can't see everywhere

I assume there are wardens. What bothers me, if I drop the OH off to shop, it clocks me in and out, then when I return 35 mins later to pick her up, does it think I have returned within the 2 hour exclusion time, but after a bit of googling, the general opinion is that "Parking invoices" issued are not enforceable.

Vipers, did your googling throw up "Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking"?

I'll introduce a 'Bad Car Park' segment.
Nottingham...Upper Parliament St.
A narrow entrance leads to very narrow down ramps, with super- tight turns.
On each corner, as you enter the next ramp, the walls are covered with gouges and various paint colours as vehicles have attempted to negotiate their way down, but have failed.
You drive down...down...and even further down until you can find a vacant space.
But it's a great location for the city centre.

Ealing Broadway Multistory - been there 3-4 times to visit clients, still no idea how to go around it properly.

You go up, up again, then to go up for a 3rd time, you have to squeeze past a barrier and join traffic from the other side (i think!)

On my 3rd trip, i noticed the replaced the metal barriers with soft plastic ones

If it's no return within two hours then you may get an invoice from them. Personally, I would bin it if I got one and ignore anything they sent me

What will you do with Court summons that will follow it?

I am awaiting for a response from them to my letter.

Is driving in and out "Parking". Anyway not to clog up the thread, leave it there.

There is a surprise for the first bad parking picture of Santa and his sleigh

It does, I've had one from a 'wonderful' parking enforcement company myself.


In other news, it is a shame we need messages like these, some people that live on my street should take note.

A few 'borrowed' from others:

The chances of that happening here in Scotland is probably nill. UKPC did send out a few court papers last month but backed down on them all.

Up here we do not need to tell them who the driver was or even answer the letters they send so like I said, here in scotland I would bin it and forget it
