Seem to recall some getting tickets for that before.

It's not like it wouldn't fit in properly either

This might have it, but I am surprised these drivers can actually REVERSE park . maybe they drive along the path and into the road.

Motorbikes frequently park like that, are they treated differently under the law?

Technically, I suppose they should be treated the same simply due to the lack of reflectors mounted on the side of the bikes. But I suspect the practicalities of the things potentially falling over due to the camber of the road outweighs this.

But the Smart driver is a numpty.

I mean, bikes do have reflectors on the sides, above the front brakes:



And are a good 70cm shorter than a Smart car.

And tend to park at 45° to avoid possible camber issues and ease of egress.

That's a great photo.

Y'know, I did not know that. Makes sense.

For about 10 minutes before the first owner removes them!

I'm sure they are.

An unscientific check of autotrader of Fireblades shows of 2017 bikes (ignoring stock photos and non-real bikes) about 25% have them removed. Go back to 2010 and it's 100%.

Bunch of tards at the council, wonder why the painters didnt query it when they turned up for work, probably the "Aint my problem mate" attitude.

3 cars taking up 7 spaces, yeah that'll do.
Heading back to the same place shortly, wonder what it'll be like today.

probably contractors. No paint no pay. Paint goes down wherever possible and they've done what work they can.

The sad thing is, by the standards of some of the parking on this thread, I now look at that Range Rover and think "that's not too bad, really".

3 attempts then opens door, looks and gets out

Photographing women is a bit creepy

He's not taking a photo of the woman though, he's taken a photo of a woman who has parked badly.
