I remember there was a spate of "Jeeps dealing with bad parkers" videos from America a few years ago. Perhaps the LR Walts could tear themselves away from plugging through Rufford Ford to supply a public service like this?

Happens all the time at my gym car park, I'm afraid.

and yes, utter, utter c*nts of the highest order.
Gyms are the worst! Baffles me that all 10 disabled spaces are full of cars yet the rest of the back of the car park is emtpy (100+ spaces)
Seriously! FFS park at the back and run to the front door of the gym as a warm up!

Search for Ryan Taylor on Youtube and watch a video of his, you'll find the answers for all you questions there.

Edit:
To avoid confusion, they're his cars.
The RS5 is, not sure about the GTR.

Favourite one ive seen is to cable tie a trolley to the door handle of cars parked like knob heads. Not many people carry penknives or something similar anymore so a tricky situation to get out of potentially. Naturally I would never engage in such activities as I’m a good boy biggrin

'Certi' on the Audi only leads me to think of a certain type of youtube video, there for this parking is tame compared to internet exploits.

Sounds like this chap needs an interaction with my father in law. He gives up a huge amount of time, money and expertise to coach/organise the special olympics team. You can imagine how he feels about these kind of people.

Couple of years ago whilst leaving Morrison’s a slammed Audi S3 pulls up into a disabled bay. Usual 5 foot light weight hard man jumps out starts swaggering towards the shop.

Father in law stops him politely gives him the “you know you have accidentally parked in a disabled spot you should probably move it”

Driver basically says get lost turns to walk away. FIL at this points grabs him by the arm tells him that he was being polite and that he really should move his car as someone might actually need the space. The driver goes into full verbal abuse that ended with my very large very physically imposing FIL acting out something like Hulk vs Loki in the Avengers as he sort of dragged/picked up/ man handled the knot head back to his car to move it promptly laugh

Same at the one I use, always someone in something super posh, parks on the double yellows outside the door, the yellows are there to avoid people having to peer from behind a car to cross the busy bit.

If all is at it seems, what an awful human.

Some people do go a little overboard dealing with inconsiderate parking - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr7hGmAKsSU

Your FIL maybe needs to stop and think sometimes.

I was forever doing that in my Kuga (as I'm not an Audi style twunt) then bouncing into the shop.

To pick up the elderly virtual non walkers i used to take shopping or 2 doc/hosp appointments etc.

I bet i looked a right twunt bouncing into the civic Hall as well whilst parked in the disabled bay, if people took the time to wait 5 or 10 mins they'd have seen me with a trail of elderly women and walking frames behind me making there way to my car whilst i carried their shopping.

Sometimes not everything is as it seems.

In those scenarios the people in question should have blue badges and as their carer collecting them you are entitled to use them. Not looking for an argument just offering something that might come in useful for you at some point.

You can get cable ties with metal cores as well. Just to add interest...

My wife is registered disabled, has a blue badge and everything but 99% of the time parks in a normal space as she can (just about) manage the walk across a car park into the shops and she takes the view that the spaces might need to be used by people with wheelchairs etc. I have very little time for people who use disabled spaces like some form of privileged parking. I hate the world is so full of self-entitled tossers...

Some form of retribution is due.

Maybe someone could have removed the inserts from his tyre valves.

No damage but would entail a ballache of a trip to halfords without his car.

Yes i did either have one of their blue badges or an organisation one.
Unfortunately as Blue badges are widely abused you do get some strange looks.

At my old gym, which was cheapy £9.99pm deal it was an r8. Would always park on the double yellows right outside the front door.
