    Bit like the person who parked on the pavement at the kids school yesterday blocking the whole pavement. I managed to squeeze past unfortuntely when I hit their wing mirror with my hip it only folded in and did not fall off. Will need to try harder the next time they park there.

    Soon teach them not to park on the pavement.

    I'm told that pushchairs and prams have can cause quite a bit of damage as they squeeze past, especially if some of th eplastic covers have been removed from over the bolts. ;)
  • google ASKMID to see if it's insured too.

    I've had a car outside the house fo a number ofg weeks now which has no tax or insurance. the Police are disinterested, the DVLA haven't done anything, so I phoned the Council who said "expect it to be removed within a few days"

    Have yout hought it could be someone who actually works at your place who genuinally cannot afford the road tax and so being an upright citizen as moved it off the public highways, so has not to be a nuisance. Have you asked about the office/building seen if anyone will own up to the car, if they do just make them aware that they must fill out a S.O.R.N

    Yep I find my elbow always seems to be at the unfortunate height as mirrors when cars are parked on pavement near us.

    If its a road accessible to the public (ie supermarket car park) then it must be taxed.
    Wrong, public roads only.

    ring the police and report you saw a suspious character with something wrapped about 2 foot long being put in to the car.bet its taken care of pretty quick.
