Not parking of their car but just before Christmas, supermarket car park is full so woman obstructs space with 2 trolleys whilst her husband gets car from "round the corner".

Wish i'd have got to that last space before hubby, I believe the cost of removal of one trolley is expensive, but two! would cost a fair bit more, I hate this sort of behaviour

You would be chuffed if you lived in the house behind it!

Piss poor clamping it opposite a junction, bit of a tard.

Reading the article I didn't understand this "“They should’ve phoned us and told us and we could have done it straight away online – it’s that quick and it could have saved us all this trouble.” How can they tax it without a valid MOT

That fact it was SORN'd I am assuming they thought they could tax it on line.

Company involved aren't very happy in the comments section

Reading the article, it says it was taxed and the clamp removed. So I am still confused how they were able to tax it without an MOT.

It has a commercial person carrying test, which is more strict than an MOT, but it doesn't show up on the MOT database. Or that's how it reads in the comments section.

So really the story is some idiots clamped it in a stupid location because it doesnt have tax and nothing to do with an MoT.

To be fair the space on this left is a bit given the vertical beam and the dodgy plumbing intruding into the space. If you parked properly in either space you'd come back to find some myopic fktard parked an inch away from your door in the other space

Looks like it would be easy to reverse park with near side wheels just inside the line, and have enough room the other side to get out.

Then again quite a lot just dont be able manage to reverse park, which has been debated to death. Agree piss poor parking marking bearing we are not all reversing gods.

Interesting how that Smart car is parked. Always wondered if you could get away with parking it like that.

I seem to recall someone was done in the UK for that, and got away with it, unless my little grey cells are telling porkies. No doubt someone will correct me if so.

Oh. If it was neat and didn't stick out, what would they have been done for?

Is it wrong to wait by sitting on their car with your feet banging against the side?

Can't someone relevant give the driver a ticket or something?

Private property so only a civil case. Owner would need to be displaying a sign clearly stating "don't be a mong and park 6 feet outside the marked space" before they could issue a penalty notice.....

I would support the issuance of a fine for sporting 20 section tyres on a 4x4 tho'
