And pedestrians leaving the store having to cross in front or behind the ambulance? Obstruction doesn't just mean to vehicles.

Why do you think the lines were painted there in the first place?

So they can extract money from the motorist who decides to shop there.

We managed perfectly well for years on unmarked gravel car parks and there are hundreds of events across the country where public park in fields.

I bet the accident statistics are no worse on unmarked unregulated parking spaces.

Or perhaps so emergency vehicles can park close to the entrance in an EMERGENCY.

They were getting water on a warm day. They had had no food since start of shift. Wouldn't you agree that they should be in the best form they can be to do their job? That's not a shopping spree. Get some perspective.

The touble is you do not want to accept that some opinions differ from yours, I accept fate when and where it's due, don't you think they should be responsible enough to have breakfast when they wake and get a collection of water on there domestic shopping spree?
There are lots of what they could have should have, perhaps if they cannot be organised themselves then perhaps they should have the responsibility that the job entails ?
At the end of the day they are a fancy taxi driver and not exempt from the road rules of the masses .
When they are on a emergency run that's different, when they are not ….they behave themselves IMO.

It's a bit unfair to say that of a paramedic. Maybe if you're ever unfortunate enough to suffer a stroke or heart attack you should just pop outside and hail a cab instead of calling 999.

It'll probably be quicker, what's the chances the drivers in the video won't be parking up where not permitted in future?

Yeah and he'll probably give you a better medical diagnosis too.

Next we'll be saying it's OK for them to jump red lights and not stop at zebra crossings because they are "on call" not "on a call".

Why are you comparing criminal offences to a private parking invoice?
