The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

[HTP99]

Aldi is rammed, people are trying to park, I know what I'll do, I'll park like this:

Pre-lockdown. Young lady driver who had been in it avoiding all eye contact & disapproving looks by staring intently at something really important on her phone.

Bonus points for knowing what part of Glasgow this is..

So you were all staring and tutting but nobody said anything in order not to get into confrontation? That's the spirit.

I dont recognise that bit of Glasgow, but as its Glasgow, any remonstration could well be met with a massive amount of screaming, or a knife

I'm a non-confrontational type of guy. I left that to the two traffic wardens just round the corner.

Well done, sir! Keith St, just off Dumbarton Road. On the day in question I was delivering to Celino's restaurant (which used to be a Comet) on the corner.

:-) I wasn't sure tbh, it's been more than 3 years since I left Glasgow. I used to live in Scotstoun and work in Partick...

It’s hardly worth the agro and verbal abuse from badly parked idiots. I once pointed out to a driver without a blue badge who was parked in a disabled bay, opening statement from her “What are you, a fking traffic warden”, followed by “You don’t know if I am fking disabled do you”.

"Nope. But I can see you're an idiot!"

My thoughts exactly.

An effect of bad parking - in this case not putting your handbrake on properly...



Rolled across the road, up a kerb, across the tramtracks, through iron railings, and down onto the prom

Looks like an A6, I’d guess an electronic handbrake that’s failed.

There is NO way it rolled that far and went through the railings at sufficient speed to get across the prom at that point,as its quite wide. I would be amazed if it got through the railings

So what’s your guess ?

[kowalski655]

Driven by the owner or one of his mates who was pissed/not on insurance

I dare say the railings would have stopped it at 15/20 MPH, never mind 5.
