^if that was today, galleons reach is never ever busy enough that you can't find parking. what's so hard about walking an extra 20-30seconds
The effort required would compromise the already limited blood supply to their brain and they'd fall flat on their face before even getting in the door.

Odd that someone got so upset about the Audi, when someone else has parked a motorhome on the grass a few feet away!
AUDI, DETACHED etc
You would never see a headline, so and so upset by Kia parked on verge
I've been out and about in my LDV Convoy LWB Hi-Top 3.85t ex 17 seat minibus converted to a campervan this week, been parking it properly in ordinary parking spaces time & time again with no bother, yet all around are f
kwits who can't park a regular car in the middle of the fking space. As for those who say cars are now bigger but parking spaces haven't grown, yes that's true, but it's still fking easy to park a massive SUV in a regular space, you're just a useless fking waste of space who can't drive or park, that's all.

My village is full of these idiots. They have literal 30m drive ways that extend out on to the road but choose to park on the public grass either side. It now resembles a dirt rally track. Then when the wetter months come they go back to their drive ways because it's too muddy and they can't get out. Infuriates me. Council do fk all. Jimmy No Hands said:

The council planted saplings on the verges and reseeded them and the people just snapped them off / pulled them out and continued to park there instead of on their long (albeit steep) drives.
The Streetview car has captured the blue CLS Estate I used to covet a little further up, he was a nice chap, always parked on his drive.

That was a few years ago now and the verge parking is still pretty uncommon. I wonder if the residents realised that it's better to park on their drive than to have a muddy quagmire at the end of their drive? Perhaps the works forced them to practice their manoeuvring and now driveway parking isn't so scary?
Of course, once the subset of commuters who are too lazy to walk to the station but too tight to pay for parking discover there is empty land near the train station, it will return to mud.

Never understand this logic. By parking like that there isn’t enough room to get two cars through. If he parked normally there would be plenty of room for one car to pass. All he’s done is totally blocked the pavement for no benefit elsewhere. 
I see it as especially t
ttish because it is taking a possible but rare problem for you (a damaged wing mirror every few years with no recourse to the idiot who did it) and making it a definite problem for everyone else who uses that pavement. It's up there with putting cones out to reserve the parking space you like on a public road or parking across multiple spaces in a busy car park.Deranged Rover said:

Totally out of order, that white line should be bang smack in the middle of the RR not off to one side, tut tut tut.
It's not an 'RR' - It's a Discovery.Pistonheads; pedantry matters.

Ranting day, these egits really piss me off, three cars behind them just about same gap, if they had been sensible you would have for another two cars in the parkin bays.
Other side just the same. Ended parking in the car park. How on earth do they think that’s acceptable. It’s a common scene in the town.
