I'm sure I saw an article somewhere about a householder who had some twunt park in their drive to go on holiday. It was near one of the big airports. I seem to remember BiB only got involved when the householder blocked the d
head's access to the road. When it was someone parking on a private drive, it was a "civil matter sir". As soon as the poor householder threatened to have it moved, or blocked it in, it was a "potential criminal matter".
Too many fkwits parking where they like, never challenged by anyone with the authority to punish them or move them on. All this does is builds the sense of entitlement in those who behave badly, and they keep on doing it. I imagine if the householder in this case put a 'bed of nails' homemade spike strip on her empty driveway, the miscreant parker would have complained to plod and she would have been up before the bench on criminal damage charges.
In my opinion, anyone 'accidentally' damaging a vehicle parked so as to obstruct a footway, cycle lane, or junction should receive immunity from prosecution for said damage. Park like a tt and you (and your precious mowtahhhh) deserve everything you get...

Angry homeowner gets revenge on commuter who parked in her driveway
what is the law vis-a-vis 'abandoned' cars or things like this? Is it trespass? What?article said:
she stuck a trowel in the gravel with a note attached saying: "Happy digging, at least it's not raining."
How does that work, someone says you can park in front of my house, and they forget who it was, right....

Is it just because so many examples in this topic are highlighted of drivers deciding their cars are above all others and take up two spaces straddling the white lines or is it just becoming a more 'accepted thing' ?
It's only acceptable to the original fkwits and other like-morons that to do it themselves - but don't like the things people do and say at the time behind their backs in the shop. herewego said:

But, I also call bulls
t, or just plain ignorance for not checking like a normal person would.Edited by Hol on Saturday 13th February 10:13

I managed to park the black van which is longer but same rules don't apply for white ones.
dunno what you use your van for, maybe you're a city boy with some rugged lifestyle brokeback mountain fantasy going on, but most of us that using one for work often use those inordinately large side doors for loading large objects.... that perhaps parking 8" from another car or van to line up in a typical bay hinders and risks damaging other persons car...

When it comes to putting large things in your van (or car), couldn't you move it?

That's expensive. I'd have added "many thanks" and filled up me little motor with as much as it could take. Seriously though, out of order - a "mistake" my A! article said:

Wouldn't BiB have got it moved or would it be a civil matter?
Anyway, on a lighter note, I think I shall print some of these off.

This prize plum in the Crown Point Retail Park in Leeds this morning
Did you ever consider that this wasn't bad parking and actually cleverly thought through to deter others from parking next to me and banging their doors against my new car....I'm guessing not based on my assumption on your low level of intelligence, wondering round taking pictures of cars you'll never own. All the best you sad sad person...regards, prize plum Fastdruid said:
Spotted this one today, bit of an odd car park with double parking. I could kind of understand if they'd parked that far out further forwards, they could then have got out from the "blocked in space" past the kerb but as it stands its just terrible parking.
Protecting car from dings on end space. Spot on parking.Edited by skip_1 on Saturday 13th February 20:20

Hopefully not. As annoying as his parking is I can't condone keying someones pride and joy.
But would you be surprised IF someone else did ?....I would not like it but I would place a bet that some pissed off scrote would.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
