Why can't they put petrol pumps at shops with people to fill our ICE cars whilst we shop? Unfair.

Another hospital appointment today.

8 selfish s all in a row parked in the EV charging spaces.



It's bad enough that this electrical cabinet blocks the pathway but the thoughtless paramedic parks so close to it that it forces people in wheelchairs to go over the muddy grass.

Often these electric car charging points are often right near the shops. If they put them out of the way its less likely they would be used by normal cars. You cant compare parent and child and electric charging spaces to disabled spaces.
Easier/cheaper to run the power cables I'd have thought.

How long before we start seeing disabled EV spaces....

I hope you have written to the Hospital and expressed your views on this, if you dont, nothing will be done about it, at least you can say you tried. Maybe a letter in the local rag as well.

Are the paramedic vehicles actually in a designated parking area?

But I think I have a valid point - why can EVs park anywhere, but ICE only park in certain spaces?

Because the people who own the parking space say so. You do not have any right to park anywhere but on your own land, and even then there might be difficulties, it is only at the consent of others that allow you to park elsewhere, and it is their right to remove that consent whether you agree with it or not.

I do have the right to park on public roads.

And who tf can tell me where I can or can't park on my own land?!

You do not have the right to park on public roads, you can park where those in authority allow you to. If the council put down double yellows, then you can't park there, you can't park in a clearway, you can't park on a motorway, you can't park in a residents only bay, and you can't park an ICE car in an EV space on the road.

As for on your own land, then...

Big shout out to KN55DPV, this selfish prick left a gap in this very very busy car park which was 2 inches too small for a Ford KA to get into (yes, I know it looks big enough in the photo but it wasn't, the wing mirrors would have touched)

Look at that Siberian tundra though, you can't expect them to see the white lines in that, can you? wobble

I agree - moored next to that Ice Floe with some skill IMHO.
