Just trying to keep the backhoe out the way of the traffic and even with a pecker on rather than a bucket it's probably not that far off the edge, but the 4 in 1 was never going to fit in the bay !

On my dog walk this morning. We live on a quiet estate and this sort of parking is rife.

There's no need, as traffic is a) very light and b) can pass properly parked cars with ease.

But no, block the pavement entirely and sod the elderly/wheelchair users/parents with prams/grumpy PHer with dog....

Looks like there is room for you to squeeze past there but unfortunately your dog, with those sharp claws, would have to jump up onto the bonnet, over the roof and onto the boot.

Could he have parked with the bucket raised? or is that a safey issue?

That's very much a no no. Hydraulic failure will cause the bucket to drop quickly, making whatever's underneath it shorter.....

Not bad parking as such, however someone near me has taken it upon themselves to paint their own disabled bay outside their house:

Could also post this photo in the council thread.

This was back in the summer…. when I came back to my car the Tesla had been replaced by an empty shopping trolley

Maybe they are entitled to a disabled space, but got fed up waiting for the white line men to show up?

Obviously a tt who'd park like that wouldn't bother returning their trolley

[Vipers]

One smart car, one not so smart driver.

Local shopping area, very limited spaces.

He nearly managed to hit the disabled space...

Popped into SportsDirect - and found this abandoned/parked like this (pretty quiet - but still no reason for it)

Possible though. Took about 9 months to get one outside our old house, which seems daft when any blue badge holder can then use it. Still wrong though!

A near empty Tesco Express car park but this lady decided the disabled space in front of the door and the pavement were more suitable for her needs.

If they are disabled I’d overlook their flagrant disregard for law personally…

Agree. Also agree with the other posters that it may be a temporary solution pending the official markings. Wouldn't have an issue with it either way.
