The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]
Discussion

Absolutely no hope for some, a driver gave the finger when he got a parking ticket in Birmingham for parking on the pavement, close to a car park as well.
Birmingham - zero chance that car is registered in their name and that it doesn't belong to a 'cousin' with a very similar name who happens to be out of the country.Vipers said:
The police said there were nine tickets in the post for the same motorists for the same offence.
I guess some are just born stupid.
Who is the stupid one? The authorities for issuing tickets that cannot be enforced or the person parking wherever they want.I guess some are just born stupid.

We have a new pavement layout in the centre of our village, as it was too easy for people to park on them before. It's obviously working well 
I genuinely feel that councils need to start putting bollards in to stop people using pedestrian-only dropped kerbs for driving onto/across pavements.They put a pedestrian crossing in near my FIL and the residents adjacent have since turned their front gardens into gravelly s
theaps and started using the crossing as their access. Then there's the Domino's pizza, which seems to have taken over a different pedestrian area as a waiting zone for the same morbidly obese Jabba the Hutt lookalike to sit in her car scrolling and awaiting pizzas to deliver/accidentally eat.Not sure if I was a 'bad parker' yesterday. Parked down a residential street and when I got back to the car I noticed a bus stop sign where I'd parked. In my defence, there was quite a steep verge and a street lamp in front of it. There were no road markings for the bus stop at all. Does that make it legal to park there? (to repeat, it wasn't intentional).

I had a 208 GTI until recently - the doors are so long I'm surprised that that knob could actually get out of the car, given the position of that bollard. So I am walking through the car park, and thought “Doesn’t look like the end of one of those ginormous long saloons……..”
I went around the front and lo and behold, it wasn’t a ginormous long saloons at all, some folk just shouldn’t be allowed out on their own, how can anyone think that will do, only idea that comes to my mind is some self centered old biddy who wants to make sure no one blocks her loading her shopping into the boot, bit I am sure that didn’t even enter the equation, just ste parking.

when I squeezed walked past this one, to the right, the owner shouted at me to use the road and I would be paying if her card was damaged.
Note the left hand wing mirror is carefully folded in, but not the right one!

Penny to a pound they chose that spot because they could drive through forwards. Reversing is SO hard, especially when your car is 10' long with a wheel at each corner.I went around the front and lo and behold, it wasn’t a ginormous long saloons at all, some folk just shouldn’t be allowed out on their own, how can anyone think that will do, only idea that comes to my mind is some self centered old biddy who wants to make sure no one blocks her loading her shopping into the boot

I thought this was an interesting example of bad parking until I did a double take and saw the position of the front wheels…
Some drivers just can't make their mind up which way they want to go!Either that or the Juke has a really aggressive (and indecisive) lane keep assist system.
