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.
"would of"? ffs smash

100 vans like that on the road? Chinny reckon.
They did say 100 vehicles, not 100 vans, but vans like that are a common sight in the West Mids, they're a pretty big company.

They haven't got so many vans of the same type that they don't know or at least have a pretty good idea who was driving that.

Im pretty sure a company with 100 vehicles would have everyone trackered, if it bothers you, you could say you'll email the pics to the local paper.

Theres a theme running with a lot of these pictures on this thread, people parking defensively as they don't want there car damage by its only a fking car brigade, i park on end spaces normally with the wheels on the white line or just over it, should i end up having a photo of my car criticised by people online just because i don't want to spend another £500 getting yet more damage repaired as some ahole has no consideration for other peoples property.

I think the worse members of the driving community are the lovely people that park in electric charge bays with non electric cars, how bloody selfish could you get, i really want to get a Renault TWIZY for the school run come september but this selfishness is holding me back, i think the main problem is the stores are installing them right by the front doors, they should be installed further away.

Agree, some pics are petty, but most are atrocious, no doubt at all.

This thread would not work well in Abu Dhabi, jail for all posting

the West Australian illustrator noticed a car without disability stickers taking up two handicapped parking spaces—she decided to take a photo, blur the license plate number, and post it to Facebook along with a comment that would later be seen by a neighbour who reported it to the police. Magi was held for 53 hours, during which she was shackled at the ankles and denied a mattress, pillow, toilet paper, or eating utensils. She was also fined $3,600 and later deported.

fk that. I wouldn't last five minutes in that place without shooting my mouth off about their backwards fascist city. I have yet to hear anything that would make me visit the place out of choice. Any news on what happened to the driver who parked across two disabled bays?

No, they could have been the neighbour who informed on her to the police.

And here she was, an hour previously, before she reversed to 'park', during her telephone conversation:

Narrow road with one side being used for parking. Plenty of spaces in between the cars.
Ach fkit I'll just block the whole road and put the hazards on.

My drive is 1st on the left, I've removed the righthand gatepost to be able to park without swearing. I really hope there's never a fire at the bottom of the cul de sac as a fire engine would get nowhere near.

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
