There might have been a Smart car, Aston Cygnet or motorbike there earlier?

Possibly in that case. But where I live people do that all the time and there are no Smart cars and certainly no motorcycles that park regularly. I think it's just that some people are programmed to always park X feet from the next car and if that means leaving 8 feet in front, that's what they do.

No doubt smile.

I was just trying to 'be kind', trying to 'respect' other motorists, 'celebrating' idiocy etc., as we're preached at to do all the time.

In reality, you're wasting your time with the numpties who live in this country, though I sincerely hope that hasn't upset too many sensitive people. If you've been affected by anything I've written, please ring your own phone number and have a chat with yourself wink

So close, but so far, busy road junction as well as being a bus route. Any cars on the other side waiting for a green light make it just impossible for a bus who has turned left into the road, to pass, so it all helps if you park nearer to the kerb.

Seen this car three times in the last few weeks, so probably a local.

Maybe it’s cheaper to get replacement wing mirrors than it is to get the alloys refurbished?

Probably right, but why take a chance when the car park you can see to the left of the picture is 50p (YES) 50p for an hour.

They did the same thing last week on another street.

Bonus points for turning an open bend into a blind one... and forcing pedestrians into oncoming traffic.

Not sure if this is worthy of this thread since the lines are worn and there is still some other spaces left (the rest of the car parkto the right was pretty full though) but here it is anyway:

It's partly in the bay and, therefore, meets their parking criterion, 'Every Little Helps'. smile
