Moan about people who can't park!

Options
Just a general rant about people who struggle to park efficiently. For example there are some bays outside my current flat and you can get 2 cars in if you park correctly however most just dump their cars any which old way with no consideration for anyone else.

Grrrrr :mad:

    I'm interested in the website!

    The silver one is a company car and I feel like putting something up on the notice board at work asking them to come forward & I'll show them how to park.

    That's a really annoyingly sized space.

    Maybe its just me but I cant see how two cars could fit properly within the white lines?

    I'm not the best parker admittedly...

    Whilst you could get 2 (smallish) cars in there, that space is only designed for one car.

    PS - that website is Parked Like A C-Word ;)

    I used to have a juke and we could / can fit that and our neighbours golf in the space.

    Not only that if I parked that far off the kerb in my driving test I'd have failed it.

    It seems to have become worse since the advent of self parking cars which seems to predominantly be on the type of cars that attract yummy mummies.

    The car seems to like to leave a larger distance from the kerb than you would typically leave.

    Took my o/h to the Doc the other morning and was parked up waiting for her when a car pulled in to a parking space .... NOT ! after about , and I kid you not , 10 tries at getting the car into the bay she actually came over to me and said " would you mind parking my car for me please " I did and the mind boggles :)

    spotted this on twitter. It seems to me the guy has nowhere else to park for fear of being ticketed. What should he do?

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    I think you'll find that a double yellow line disallows parking on the pavement/verge...not that he should be parking on the pavement anyway ^^

    Mind you, if he's come to fix my electrics he can park where he likes!
