Sigh........
I would look at that and think "As if they were happy when they got out their car and looked at their effort".If it was all the way over to the N/S to keep away from the next space then that'd make sense.
As it is, the driver looks like a moron who can't reverse park.

Beat me to it, what a tard.
kwits who park on the zig zags, they’re there for a reason and that reason is to protect kids who might run out in to the road. I had a go at the head of my sons school once as he parked his car on the zig zags to unload it. You’d think the prick would know better!

This is just a wild stab in the dark, so don’t jump down my throat if it’s wrong.
Let’s assume that an articulated truck is being driven along a street with parked vehicles on one side of that street.
The trailer accidentally brushes against a car, leaving a scratch in the bodywork.
If someone notes that the number plate on the trailer reads ABC123, then in U.K., that should tally with the unit pulling the trailer, so whoever is driving the unit is presumably ultimately responsible for the damage.
That is how it works in most countries in the world though. You would report the plate on the trailer and it would be up to whoever registers the trailer to send it on the driver of the tractor unit. Too often in the UK I have seen the trailer plate missing, wrong or written on a piece of cardboard with a sharpie.Let’s assume that an articulated truck is being driven along a street with parked vehicles on one side of that street.

I don’t wish to muddy the waters, but if an articulated truck bearing this plate damaged your car, I guess that you’d have to report that Milan registered truck, 2H2631, pulling Brescia registered trailer 30119 did it, and hope that the Milano truck driver was insured, (Rimorchio is Italian for trailer).

So whats wrong with the system in the UK? I cant see that it makes any difference if the trailer had its own plate.
If you ever want to tow anything, you need to get a copy of your plate made. When I hired a trailer in NZ, you just hooked it up and went, it was easy for the rental company to keep a log of who rented each one as it had its own reg.If you look at foreign lorries on the motorways, everywhere else does this, it is even common to see a tractor/trailer combination from two different countries. That can't be done properly with a UK trailer and very ambiguous what you do with a foreign trailer being towed with a UK tractor unit. Should they put the UK plate on the back, or just use the trailer reg?
