The absolute spacktard of a Mini driver (in the very loosest sense of the word), who left their vehicle on the street I live on today. And yes, the minibus in one of the photos is the Dial-A-Ride bus for OAPs and the disabled.
You, Mr/Mrs/Ms Mini owner, are an absolute, dribbling incompetent selfish idiot of the worst order.
Although I tend to agree, they probably think no problem for a car getting past, but don't consider fire tenders or mini buses, vans, so the problem really rests on the council for not putting DYL's on one side of the road don't you think?You, Mr/Mrs/Ms Mini owner, are an absolute, dribbling incompetent selfish idiot of the worst order.

good theory - I'm now getting to think that some of these 'tards would see the DYL's and an empty space they can park on....

People responding to his tweet saying, in effect, he should be doing more important things than apologising for his officer's parking yet this thread has numerous examples of poor police parking and people whinging about it. They can't win.ukkid35 said:
My Neighbour - Doh!
Except he's a doctor, and works late shifts, and he's probably tired when he gets home.
Also, he's French so he now has no job security, no guaranteed right to residency, so he and his family may have to move back to France in two years time.
That's no way to live in a western democracy when you have a five year old child. Thank you Boris, Gove, and all those wonderful 'newspaper' proprietors, not to mention Putin.
Thankfully my neighbour could not be more understanding about my use of the parking space as a workshop, I am very fortunate
By the look of that cerbera he can park about 2 inches from it and cause no issues, a contender for the classics left to die possibly, also if he is French then they all park terribly. We have spent several months in France over the last 2 years and would hate to have a decent car there they just don't seem to care. Poor attempt at a totally unrelated brexit rant though !Except he's a doctor, and works late shifts, and he's probably tired when he gets home.

What if the Chief Constable tweeted that in his own time?

The Cerb has been parked up since it's last outing to DN16 at the end of September, but I would take issue with your suggestion that it's been neglected.I meet a lot of my neighbours while working on my car in the garage, and that is where I hear about their concerns. Perhaps that helps explain why I chose to shoehorn in that observation.

Never will understand why people b
h about police vehicles parked where they think they shouldn't.

We are just presuming the Mini parked badly but the Mini could have been parked first legally and the Mitsubishi and other one parked after(Badly). Unless the OP Knows who parked first etc.
The OP does know who parked first. That is why I posted the photos, and why I said "You, Mr/Mrs/Ms Mini owner, are an absolute, dribbling incompetent selfish idiot of the worst order."In answer to a previous poster, it wasn't abandoned, and the things under the wipers are a selection of pithy notes left by irate drivers. There is a car further up the street that does seem to have been abandoned - it has been there about 6 weeks, and the selfish f
ker has left it partially blocking a dropped kerb, making it a nightmare for one of my neighbours to get on and off their drive. However, because the car is still taxed, it can't be towed, and because there isn't a white H-bar painted across their drive, it can't be ticketed, apparently. My neighbour is decidedly underwhelmed, to say the least.And to the previous poster who said the problem lies with the Council, I have to disagree. Double yellows would be nice, but you shouldn't need external influences to stop people parking like selfish

How does someone go about fixing the H-bar issue?Does it have to be ratified by several local council committees, or is the mere fact that a drop kerb exists enough to get the H-bar painted.
Does the H-Bar have to be painted by the local council, or can it be done privately?
