The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]

[KFC]

who cares... he's not taking up part of a 2nd space and he's not obstructing anyone or anything is he? Very lame for a 'bad parking' submission, imo

Still bad parking. These vehicle aimers usually have no idea how to reverse park, and probably just abandon them in any car space they decide to leave it in. Worthy of a post I thought.

I almost have some sympathy for that defender driver.
It must have the worst turning circle in the history of any car. It is ridiculous, Really quite hard to manoeuvre in a tight car park

I used to own a Clio V6 and that was pretty awful for a turning circle, but I was still able to park that in smaller spaces than the one the LR owner has failed to park in

He's probably broke down

He probably belongs on the 'Knob' thread.

To be honest, I didn't think it was a heinous crime - it more amused me. No other cars were affected. I'm still a bit intrigued why he did it. The car would have been better shaded if he'd parked it straight (though that might not have been obvious in the early morning.

Short of being flamed for my original car picture on my earlier profile, I am probably the best parker I know, I always reverse by mirrors having passed my test in an HGV, never drive into a bay, and if there isn't a physical barrier behind me I check I am in my bay before leaving the car, anyway, maybe not a heinous crime but crap parking in my opinion. But that's me.

Carry on men.

The owner of one of these vehicles came back just as I took the photo. His head is in shot and he decided to flex his vocabulary muscles by effing and jeffing at me for taking this picture.

Kuga should've reversed in as close as poss to the passenger side of the Audi, was shouty man "CHR" by any chance??

[Scott W]

I think he was the driver of the Kuga as he made a comment about me trying to park better than him.

I simply couldn't be bothered to stick around and entertain the bloke because I didn't have the time.

It was a toss up between posting here or the badly modified thread...

Double yellows, on the pavement, in a cycle box at the lights, next to a hairpin junction and probably more...

Thought this was a doozy



Sorry for the stty picture, but the owner came back just as i got my phone out to snap it.

Across two spaces, and about 6 ft from the wall behind

[thetapeworm]

Audi brakes, better than expected.



Or maybe not



Path parking:



And as above, despite plenty of space in the actual car park (mere feet away) but let's park on the path.



4 cars in shot, not one of them in an actual parking space, presume it's a special thing for small silver cars?

Neary made it into the lines.

Just how difficult is it ?



No idea who's car it is....

[Blib]

I know the owner of this car. She is as nutty as an acorn tree.

[Vipers]

Parallel parking at its Best



And Mr. I. Need two spaces man.





I managed to reverse park, with about three inches between me and Mr. I. Need two spaces, and could just about open my door.

Then again I was thinking if they can't park, they might take my mirror with them when they try to reverse out, so parked elsewhere.

I did leave a polite note (honest) under their wipers. This is a multi story park in Aberdeen, usually chocka.

Didn't notice the plate when I took the pic, gave on trying to work it out.

I don't normally have much empathy with bus drivers, but the "trained fighter" was an absolute, 24 carat knobjockey.

Near empty car park at 7 in the morning. And they'd left the lights on too.
