So close, but so far, busy road junction as well as being a bus route. Any cars on the other side waiting for a green light make it just impossible for a bus who has turned left into the road, to pass, so it all helps if you park nearer to the kerb.
Seen this car three times in the last few weeks, so probably a local.

I have, on several occasions, had to reverse a hapless driver's car back to the closest passing point so that we can both continue our journeys.

A village of 800 near me is having 2,500 new homes built - (of course there are no new school places, no new doctors, there is no bus service, no shops etc) but importantly the little rail station is already rammed by 7am. As always the local infrastructure is never considered.Whilst the story above is partly caused by half the car park being closed during works, it does chime with my point above.

Always think this type of thing will backfire on the local residents if it is them that have done the damage. Most if not all the owners of the damaged cars will put in an insurance claim which will no doubt flag that area up as a claim hotspot and increase the premiums of the locals. WarrenB said:

Busy main road (Skipton Road in Harrogate)
A mum with a toddler in a pushchair chose to stop, carry the toddler and folded pushchair past the car rather than risk the road. Just pure selfish entitlement that's enough to make me want to key the car (I didn't and wouldn't BTW but the urge was there)
