This almost needs a caption competition.

But, it explains where they left VOSA's one and only wheel clamp.

It's so satisfying to see cars with those big yellow clamps and the UNTAXED VEHICLE leaflets in the windscreen! They'd obviously been down my street yesterday as there were about 5 or 6 different cars with big yellow clamps!

5-6 vehicles untaxed (and probably without insurance)? That's pretty shocking assuming you don't live in a really, really long street!

Road is about half a mile long and 80% of it is free parking bays. I was surprised as it's not even the bad part of town, it's the nice part! Most of the cars on the road are commuters and aren't here during the night.

I guess it could be a clerical error on the part of the owner/driver. They put the notice to one side and forget etc.

I think thats what it is too. They're definitely not pool cars or chav cars. It was cars like Micras, a huge Toyota 4x4 thing with a trailer and then a bunch of Audis and Fords that weren't more than 5 years old. Most of them had gone by about 10PM and this morning only 1 remains.

This guy would find a colouring book difficult.



Then he made a friend. Note the "edinburgh dent" which 9/10 cars here have.



Was it a stupid young woman or a stupid old man? A stupid old man.

SP&L will have a thread soon, where somebody asks for help, because:

1. It was raining AND the sun was shining so they couldn't see the white letters.
2. They have a fishing permit (albeit last years) in a drawer somewhere at home.
3. They had only pulled over for 30mins, to go the supermarket, so they could get some cashback at the tils to pay for parking elsewhere.

I have another one which, I doubt constitutes as 'parking', more dumped in a ditch next to the parking spaces.

I have many, many pictures of dodgy parking, particularly in Supermarkets because of my job.

I should rephrase, I'm a rep for a well known brand and I going into supermarkets on a daily basis.

I imagined you were paid to photograph badly parked cars.
