167 houses are currently being built on a small field behind my house. I'm guessing that this will mean 167 cars, at minimum if not more. You'd probably fill a large portion of the field now with 167 vehicles, let alone when it's full of bricks and concrete.
similar - as part of a larger plan to put 1800 home into a town which can't even cope with the traffic (rail and car) it has at present!Stickyfinger said:
Why do you think it is damaged ?
I don't know of any car that comes with forklift lifting points - on a lot of cars, doing this would damage the sills, exhaust or some other component.If it's blocking access, then get the police involved, but unless it's blocking access onto the road, even they don't have the power to move it.

I'm in the Lakes quite a lot and you do see an awful lot of stupid parking - blocking of gates, access to tracks etc - I can imagine it drives farmers bloody mad, particularly now at their busiest time of the year.
Case in point last weekend - I drive down to Stonethwaite in Borrowdale. Parked at the end of a row of cars in the village but when I get out see that by doing so I'm not really leaving enough space for access for farm vehicles to a track running alongside. No problem, get back in and drive a few hundred yards back along the road and park up there, completely out of the way. When I get back from my run a few hours later I see that not one but two cars have parked where there wasn't sensibly room for one. Result - if the farmer wanted to get anything larger than a quad down the track they wouldn't be able to. So that's him possibly prevented from pursuing his livelihood thanks to some fool who must have been going for a walk of a good few miles anyway, but who was too f
king idle to park a hundred yards down the road. I reckon I'd be lifting cars out of the way on a weekly basis if it were me.

Is is so difficult to park where you do not obstruct others, guess not.

Birmingham probably deserves a thread all of its own on bad parking. I wish I'd had a camera with me the other day to photograph a car that had actually parked - I kid you not - in the entrance of an open air public car park, thus preventing anyone already parked there from being able to squeeze past and leave. The local rag did a feature today from which I've taken the following images, full story at http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news...

Perhaps then they won't be such utter w
kers and a burden on society in general.The Polce should be left to capture criminals, not be burdened with time cleaning up after Mr and Mrs Self-important. (Unless they can charge them for the wasted tax payers money).
Let's face it, if Life were a school playground the majority would have been punched in the face a long time ago and learnt from it.
If only.
