The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

[JmatthewB]

Brick Lane, London. One of the best connected by public transports areas on Earth. Yet entitled morons have to abandon their cars willy-nilly. There's no wonder why a growing number of young folk, cyclists and others hate us motorists.

That's mad. Are they residents or shoppers? Either way how anyone could leave their car there and not fear having the wing mirrors clobbered by passing traffic?

Who's is gonna jump up / down that kerb with a scooter / trolley?

Dropped kerb behind the car.

Perhaps fortunate there is what looks like a ramp and guard rails outside a fire exit, or he may have abandoned it closer, seen that before.

Let’s not ignore the fact that it was only posted up as a trolling tool.

(Presumably because someone had their balls handed to them previously over some bad parking of their own).

Not a bad attempt, couldn’t possibly park 100 metres away where it’s clear, not on markings or obscuring a junction outside school

Report that to the company, that will be a meeting without coffee

Depends if there's a sign and Traffic Regulation Order for the zig-zags, otherwise they're purely advisory. Even if there is a prohibition, councils often add exemptions for vehicles involved in the maintenance of gas, electric, water or telecommunications infrastructure.

Christ on a bike. Why take up two spaces when you can use four? Super mega achievement unlocked... crying out for a £50 shed to be parked beside the driver's door.

Both of these houses, and most of them on this side of the street, have 2 car driveways with just 1 car parked in them, presumably because they can't be bothered with the hassle of moving one to drive the other.

This drives me mad; cars parked in the road, while the driveway is empty. Why? The road isn't for parking your property in, use your own drive - lazy barstewards.

My neighbours do the same, presumably because they can't be bothered to move their cars around as if there isn't a nearby street spot for their car they actually do park both in the driveway. Irony is that since COVID they've both been working from home, and I've only seen both cars absent once(!) since the pandemic started so they probably don't even need 2 cars.

Didn't take a picture as they came out to actually move the car but, my neighbour had a visitor yesterday who parked his car on their neighbours drive as he didn't want his Porsche Cayman parked on our narrow street, as we were emptying our car they came out asking if they could block us in on our drive to protect his car as the neighbourwas due home and needed to move it, I declined, so he moved it further up the road!!!

Sounds like a reasonable person to me. Moves car before the neighbour gets home and asks if it's ok to block you in for a bit.

Parked up at the Covid Vaccine centre, car park really busy and only for people getting jabbed. This idiot was parked over two spaces. When they arrived back, it was an older couple talking their dog for a walk.

[Uncool]

Burn it. Offensive in every way possible.

Two from nr my house today. You can just about squeeze a Ford Focus between these two. The driver in the white van watched me do it. Twice. .

[Hackney]

Not sure if I’ve already posted this.
My neighbour parks his work van in the turning space in front of my office window, leaving his wife to park across their two spaces.
Beyond the van is (will be) a nice open space right up to the houses being built opposite, hopefully where local kids can play. Ideal after school as I can sit in the office and keep an eye on them. But not if there’s a van in the way.

Some more quality parking for the golfer.

This is wjhy we will end up with a ban on pavement parking, it has become so ingrained in some people that they park on the pavement even when there is no reason to.

Think it's just self entitled, lazy morons myself.

This is the next day, we've got the 'chevy' blocking the drop kerb, what's beggars belief is the Honda HRV just out of shot, decided to all park here as I was talking the photo. He parked up and started walking away from the vehicle, then started having second thoughts of abandoning it when he sure the double decker trying to squeeze past !!

[sean ie3]

Something I find aggravating, there is one space in the carpark and either side both cars have parked badly, so to park then have to park badly, potentially causing 2 other drivers chagrin. What to do?
