Came across this special individual last night when our for a stroll. As you can see everyone else has managed to park next to the curb - apart from the silver van driver, who seems to have got the area where people are meant to walk confused with the area where cars are supposed to live... Was still there blocking the pavement when I came back over an hour later.
I can almost understand (if not approve) of people parking partially on the pavement if everyone does it alongside a narrow road. What I don't get is, where everyone else manages to park neatly on the road, but you get one maverick who for some reason feels the need to block the footpath instead...

Is it me or does that tyre sidewall look well scuffed - almost as if it had been rubbed against lots of kerbs in its life.
This area is finished now so there are houses on either side of the roundabout. The white boxes represent the regular parking scenario that you'd find in my estate, I'll get some pictures of it one day. It's part terrible planning by the developer part idiots living here. The site itself is compact and all available space is used to the maximum, in some cases I think it to be dangerously so (some streets don't have pavements, just houses and then road). Many houses are only given one parking space and often have need for two or three vehicles and there's little or no thought given by the developer or some of the people buying here where to put the excess parking requirement.
The above roundabout really takes the mick though as the houses on the corners are 5 beds. Yup 2x 5 bed houses per corner. Each with one space and a garage.
Madness
