Not bad parking as such...



...but what kind of idiot does that to their car and doesn't reverse park into a space so others can censored see around it?

If your children are that ugly or you have something worth hiding buy a van.

I was seven feet out of the space before I could see if it was clear for me to go. silly
How do you get out if a van is next to you?

A van is a van, a Golf with blacked out rear windows is a suspect. hehe

Devils advocate, the kind of idiot who needs to load a lot of things into the boot perhaps? I suspect you'd complain more if they dragged their full shopping bags etc between the cars to reach the boot.

I'm just curious as to how you would get out if it was a van if you struggle with a car that has tints.

Alloa, near Stirling. I regularly have to deliver bulky, heavy high-value product to the retail market, in an eighteen-tonne truck. The local council have helpfully provided several 'loading-only' bays, but no wardens to enforce them. The result is that some people regard these bays as a free-for-all, meaning I have to park much further down the street and drag heavy pallets down to the shop visible in the picture. Parking behind the cars would partially block the road; recently a police van had trouble getting past me & the cop moved me on; at the same time he completely ignored the cars that were blocking my access to the loading bay.

I've been annoyed by the black Clio parking there several times recently; apparently the female owner works nearby and leaves the car there all afternoon.

Parked in a disabled bay. Closer inspection reveals an old style blue-badge which has not been issued for several years.
Most likely an Able who is using the blue-badge of a dead relative.
Some people have no shame.
Reported for blue-badge fraud.




My new style blue-badge for comparison.

Everything looked really miserable so I pressed the HDR button to take the photo just to cheer things up a little.

The expiry date on that badge isn't even readable, suggests to me that either it's fake or so old the ink has worn off...

You might want to reread that.... they mean close it, we've found a winner. Not that they are actually closing it.

We borrowed a Jetta identical to that many years ago, all the seatbelts stunk of sick whenever it got warm.

The driver of this Fiesta parked by touch I guess. No spatial awareness. Luckily no damage to my car.
To the driver of red Fiesta RJ54 BCX go get some driving lessons!!

This was pretty much on the apex of a blind, 90 degree bend, it was causing no end of problems:

Possibly from Goudhurst, where it's the norm.

This is a quiet day (pic from Web).
