Special parking

There's a prick in town who parks his Scirocco close to a junction on double yellow lines outside his house every evening, despite having a driveway. These nobbers do this (I see it elsewhere, too) because they know they're not going to get caught.

I've emailed the council with a big list of places where illegal parkers can be seen regularly and what did they do about it? Nuffink! It's so common that I even put Google street view screenshots in the email showing the bad parking!

Another one that winds me up is this one that was on GSV. People park right up against the end stop of the double yellows but this means that their car sticks out into the main road. All the council have to do is extend the lines by a foot to get rid of the problem...

Now that's the sort of thing that would make me lose my shit.

That turn of phrase reminds me of walking the dogs along a section of dual carriageway, and finding the pavement totally blocked because the driver hadn't wanted to use his sloped driveway after what was going to be a frosty night. So we had to use the road. Mercifully I had just bagged one of the dogs' shits, so this was left perched on the windscreen.

'Fraid not - I'm not good at being naughty, you see...

VW pillock parked on a junction.

There are always cars parked on that corner. There is a row of houses that have no parking and the residents fill the road. There is a large area of grass in front of the houses and you'd think they'd all campaign for it to be converted by the council. There's even a car parked there on Google's satellite image!

Be a shame if that photo was accidentally sent to his employer...

Yes it was. To the left of the Coop store is a doctors surgery which keeps those bays busy.

At IKEA on Saturday.
They've got a couple (literally 2) of Ecotricity electric charging points at the end of one of the parking rows.
When we came out there was a Tesla Model X parked in one of them, not hooked up and, I suspect, not able to use it due to it being a Tesla.
Wanker.

Social distancing, obviously.

I parked in a line of empty spaces at Tesco last Saturday evening. Evan waited in the car whilst I did a quick shop. When I came out there was a car in the next space either side, despite a sea of empty spaces nearby. The daft old woman in the shitty Polo to the left had hit my car twice with her door, he told me. He also told me that he had glared at her, on my behalf. Good lad!

Company I was at last week has disabled spaces outside the entrance, kind of like everywhere nowadays.
One driver, who did have a disabled license plate, parked in one of these spaces, and had managed to get the entire front of the vehicle, over the kerb at the top of the space, possibly trying to drive past it by avoiding it, but the drivers wheel was stopped awkwardly on the wrong side, while the front bumper was in the middle of the footpath.
Same driver was back the following day but seemed to have mastered the art of parking by then.

Shitroen parked on double yellows AND a junction. Delivery van stopped behind it, also on double yellows AND blocking a driveway. He was OK, though, as he had his hazard lights on. The universal sign of bad but temporary parking.
