The BAD PARKING thread

Isn't the light grey the effective line between the 2 darker marked out spaces? If so, it looks like the tosser next to the 911 is well into / over that lighter line, forcing the 911 to park further over itself.

Nothing wrong with the 911 imo.

The 911 got there before the Shogun.

But by far the best space I have found is this one:

APCOA, Eyre Street, Sheffield?

Got it in one.

SWMBO has to go up there every month or two for work, so it's a good excuse to visit snake pass/other interesting peak district roads/my brother, or to find the steepest road I can...
(I'm in Norfolk so pretty much anywhere is hilly compared! The only time I see hills is if I have to go up Gas Hill in Norwich!

Nissan Altima driver not even trying to park properly.




Ford Ranger straddling yellow line.




Good luck squeezing in between these two.

Some bad parking

But to be fair, those markings are pretty shocking...

I thought it was bad enough with the 307 halfway into the roundabout and the scenic blocking the crossing..



Then the laguna turns up

Judging by the give way line Id say not.

I was parked were the silver Citroen ZX is, I'll leave it up to the PH massive if I'm in the wrong ?

[VR6 Turbo]

within 18 yards of the junction, would be my call. but not sure if it applies to roundabouts, off the top of my head.

edit looks like the marked space end just behind the ZX, however illegal and bad parking aren't always the same thing.

Applies to all junctions and includes people parking opposite side-streets, back lanes - any sort of junction at all really...

Which effectively means it's largely unenforceable as almost every car parked in a built-up area is too-close to a junction - if Plod were to show an interest, they'd just nick you for obstructing a junction which is much simpler I guess?

Sitting in a bay all correct like waiting for wifey finishing work,
and this bloke parks thus for over 15 mins on double yellas.

Gutted I didn't have my camera of a phone. I saw another one of those 'park in the T-junction crew' in Sainsbury's. You can keep your preconceptions about Honda Jazz drivers to yourselves.
