The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]
Discussion
This blew up on my local FB group over the weekend as another resident had to stop some traffic so an old lady in a wheelchair could go out into the road to pass a car totally blocking a pavement.
The state of one response:
“They probably parked there so emergency vehicles could pass”
It’s a wide straight road that would be easily passable with a car parked on it and my guess is the village sees about one said emergency vehicle a week at best. We know it’s passable because cars are often parked there and bin lorries etc never have an issue. But it does go to show the mentality of the a
holes that do this.

I’m seeing a bit of a trend forming with ordinary electric vehicles, parking in the typical Range Rover sports spots everywhere.
I do wonder how many owners have gotten used to having EV only spaces right by the entrance of supermarkets and shops.

I'm looking forward to having 'privileged' parking when the car eventually turns up. I do wonder how many owners have gotten used to having EV only spaces right by the entrance of supermarkets and shops.
At this rate by the time that happens it may be 'privileged' queuing...
Homebase car park - white car turned up, left back wheels outside of the parking lines. Ranger rover in front row also too far back / hanging outside of the box ….
Silver car with 4 builders turned up a couple of minutes later…
Photo taken from reverse angle - all 3 cars way outside/hanging over into the road.

Looks to me like everyone has wrongly assumed the gutter is the space boarder.Silver car with 4 builders turned up a couple of minutes later…

It only takes one…

Once a load of cars turn up on the left covering up the actual divider line, nobody on the right would know that it wasn't the gutter and would in any case have no choice but to drive as close as they can up to the car in front, probably wondering why their space is so short.Silver car with 4 builders turned up a couple of minutes later…

That is a terrible design and will always be a mess.

I'm sure the Transit parked just fine but post parking care seems to have gone downhill...
Apologies for the poor cropped dashcam capture, 170 deg field of view makes even the car that hits you look miles away.
Better pic and story here.

To be fair, a Superb is a big car - mine takes up the full length of a normal sized parking bay.Silver car with 4 builders turned up a couple of minutes later…

Some from around my way
Standard delivery driver parking. If only there were somewhere safe to park
School run (taken at school kick out time, albeit a few mins after the main throng had dispersed)
And a neighbour whose XC90 pokes out on to the pavement, which in itself isn't too bad.
But they then allow workmen and visitors to park across their drive
