I was in the West End of Glasgow this am for coffee at Tinderbox driving the Espada. I parked on Byres Road in a large space with about 3 car lengths in front of me to the lights.
When I came out a moron in a Toyota HiLux Reg FK51LOS had parked 1CM yes 1 centimetre from the bonnet of the car!!!! He must have had a reversing camera or someone to help him park so close. There appeared to be no damage to the car although it is difficult to say at one or two points. He couldnt have reversed into a space between two cars as he would have crushed the corner of the car.
Luckily there was space behind me so I could reverse and leave without major manoeuvring.
Why did he do it? Jealous? Just a total dhead? Anyway I will be sending the pics to the police and asking them to charge him with a contravention of section 3 Namely 'Inconsiderate driving.
I will post pics later.
In the unlikely event the person is on here. I hope the police charge you and you are off the road soon!

Interesting to see what the Police do as the driver sounds like he needs a word, but my guess would be they do nothing.

So the driver of the HiLux is good at parking and you weren't blocked in.

Can anyone help me see the foul here?

Paul leaves 3 car lengths of space in front of car.
Hilux driver parks 1 cm away from Paul's car, for no reason as there is 2 car lengths ahead of them that could be used.
Why park so close to a car when the space on the road means its not necessary to do so.

Common courtesy would be to leave suitable gap between cars to allow other drivers the chance to get out without having to get help themselves etc.

Get it now? smile

the car was parked there for two hours. I don't know what space was behind my car when he parked. When I went out there was space, however have you ever parked 1cm from another car entirely blocking it in? Would ANYONE park that way irrespective?
I cant quite see how it isn't foul play to park anywhere like that at any time. On your logic, if it is ok when I leave then it frankly doesn't matter how someone behaves before? Sorry that doesn't make sense.

I will post pics

This shows there were cars parked behind me but he still had at least two car lengths ahead of him and whilst I was in the café I looked out from time to time when I was getting coffee and saw no one directly in front hence I believe it was always clear ahead of him!

It does seem inconsiderate, but Highway Code suggests you should not park within 10m of a junction (lights?), so maybe that was on his mind.

That's seriously bad parking! doesn't look like there's a camera there. I would have sat on his bonnet waiting on him to return to his tank.

Some people are just bitterly jealous because you have something better than them. Don't know what possesses them to do that though! Hopefully he'll Google his registration number.


On a side note, got cut up by a large bmw 4x4 today on a roundabout. Gave a large blast of the horn. The guy took a hissy fit in the high chair that was his car, meanwhile I'm sitting pissing myself laughing at his hysterics.


Sunday drivers eh?

You are quite right although it is a recommendation and not a law to that effect. As there were single Yellows there, then it was legal to park. Sec 22 of the RTA covers dangerous parking, but I have never heard of it being invoked for parking close to a junction. People park closer there every Sunday.

Looks like a reversing camera to the left of the tailgate handle.

Far too close. It does have the reversing camera on it so he knew how close he was getting to you.

Must have been jealous of your beautiful car.

Incredible that this vigilante has got a reg plate to back up his mission in life:

F*K5 1rrateLamborghiniOwnerSantoni wink




Seriously though, it is quite one of the most reprehensible pieces of parking ever witnessed. Bet his other car is a Porsche hehe

Pity you couldn't persuade a mate to park the same distance the other side of him and sit back with a coffee for a while.
