Don't see the problem. They've redefined what a double yellow line means in the Highway Code.














If the parking is anything like I see these days. mad

A bit further up the hill so we don't have to go onto the opposite side of the road right at the end of a bend with limited visibility, no more than a second's thinking time if someone's coming the other way at speed, anyway, took the pic as I thought it was Mrs Blues needing to make the perilous journey, might not have been.

Not sure where that is Steve but the pavement looks quite wide. Couldn't he have bumped up the kerb there and parked off the road?

To be fair they sometimes do, but then a fellow do-gooder with a camera will put a photo up on a forum about not being able to get their 3 person baby stroller passed smile

HGVs are allowed to park anywhere they like as long as they have hazard lights on.




Aren't they?

Not sure how you managed to get a picture of the lorry. If it's hazard lights were on surely the cloaking device is active. hehe

We still have only the 2 kids, no plans for more, far too old to deal with the sleepless nights ever again smile that pavement is wide enough for a lorry and people to get pass I think, I just bet that if I complain about them always blocking the road, someone would equally have an issue with them parking even slightly on the pavement.

looks like there may not have been any space in the bp so he just pulled over.

Ah thought it was a PHer, yes it was on Saturday, morning I think. They just pull over there when they need to wait for space in the BP garage but as they wait very close to the turning, it means people coming down the hill need to go into oncoming traffic and you regularly hear honking of horns from cars coming the other way who are suddenly faced with a car facing them in the middle of the road straight after the bend and need to break. It's a really minor issue to be fair!
