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.
Bank Street?

Big car parking problems in sunny Morley this evening.

Why does your pic look almost like a painting?

Everything looked really miserable so I pressed the HDR button to take the photo just to cheer things up a little.
I'm disappointed that's all you did, I had visions of you sat in the car park with an easel just waiting for somebody to park badly.

If your children are that ugly why not reverse park so people can see over the bonnet at least?

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

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.

This when I was waiting at Waitrose in Camberley - Yes, it's technically in the space.. but what human gets out and thinks 'yeah, that's fine.' Old chap owner of the A3 struggled to get in his car and I think it's just inconsiderate and lazy.

Just got back from Alicante and visited several supermarkets. *EVERY* car was parked like the Fiat, you'd be the odd one out if you went into a space straight

This really pisses me off. I have got some details from mmm-five and made contact with the company, told me they were on a bad parking web site, nothing else.

Response sounds genuine of trying to track down the culprit and educate them.

Latest response from the operators.

I have looked into the email you have sent to my director and unfortunately I can not specify the exact vehicle, if you would of supplied me with a registration number then this would be great as I can pin point the allocated drivers and challenge them. As Alex explained we currently run 100+ vehicles.

Apologies if this has caused you any inconvenience.



At least looks like they took a dim view of it.

Well recognised! This used to be a really straightforward delivery, but the actions of one individual have made it a real pain in the *rse.
Vipers is right; if that car is there next time, I'll be on the phone to the local plod.

This is a very busy road in london although for once it doesn't look like it in the pic! Yeah don't worry we'll just walk in the road...into the path of buses etc & no they weren't broken down.

That needs an immediate call to plod, if they choose to ignore it, you can say you tried, what a fekking idiot.

Brake failure? Pissed? Who knows. I do wonder if it had to be towed out. Not obvious but it's a very steep drop.

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!!
Looks quite similar to how my neighbour and his wife occasionally park their cars behind mind banghead

Always use the parking sensors, come to a halt when they make contact and then roll an inch or two forward to make it look like they have actually left a gap banghead

In a local Sainsburys - plenty spaces, but parking here meant you just have to drive in a straight line from the entrance and then stop.
