The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

[wazztie16]

Will provide pic(s) later or tomorrow (as it's dark now), but there's a car parked on the road not far from me.

At a busy junction.

With central bollards.

On a bus route (frequency every 15 mins during the day) making it awkward for buses to pass it and dangerous as they have to use the wrong side of the road at the mouth of the junction.

Reported to the police earlier.

Yesterday and today the same car was in the same place, didn't seem to have moved.

Tonight as I was passing that car had gone, but another had appeared with the driver just entering his house. I showed my displeasure at the way he'd parked.

Outside the COOP in Evanton...

Silly woman on Facebook is complaining about being fined. Totally oblivious to the fact she's parked in the middle of the road

Needless to say the comments aren't going the way she anticipated EDIT - And now she's deleted the thread

Seriously??? How short of brain cells do you need to be to think that's acceptable? I truly don't understand how people think that the rules don't apply to them

'fined', =received a speculative invoice from chancers

'road'= a car park

'middle'= slightly over the line

When parking companies take the pi55 we quite rightly criticise them.

When motorists take the pi55 we quite rightly criticise them.

When someone can see a motorist is taking the pi55 and criticises the parking company, we quite rightly critise them.

Have another look at the photo, she's not parked slightly over a space she's parked in the middle of the road! The lines she's crossed is the dashed line for the road markings.

Definitely worthy of a "speculative invoice from chancers"

Someone will help her avoid it I have no doubt.

That speed limit sign is in the wrong lane if she's in the middle of the road. I think she's in the last bay and the dashed lines probably end at the rear of her car and is solid to the front of her car.

Nice old BMW in the background anyway....

Looks like an E21 3-Series.

There is a ghostly face in the side window. Is the driver now to be haunted forever for such crazy parking?

[techguyone]

hahaha it took me a few seconds to figure it wasn't a reflection.

Why do people do this?? Nearly empty car park but has to park right next to another car and very close as well.
When I park in my local Sainsburys, I try and park away from people so as not to get 'dinked'. The number of times I get back to the car and some prat is right next to me, despite there being bays closer to the entrance, is unreal!

[Thermobaric]

I think some people do it as a wind up.

Why do they block paths as well, almost as bad as the drivers in Porthlethen who park on DYL's blocking a dropped kerb for wheelchair access, save having to walk too far to the shop/post office, tards.
