coldel Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 ...and the award goes to the driver of the Insignia parked on a yellow outside my house - muppet. Quote
coldel Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 I did parp my horn a few times to try get someone to come out but no joy, they were probably too busy sat there spending time figuring out a piece of paper with PTO written on both sides. Quote
Ebized Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Trust the police were called an he/she gets done for obstruction Quote
Gudzy Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Even if it wasn't on a yellow line that's still some terrible parking, it's no where near the kerb. Quote
coldel Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 Im tempted to call it in Colin, getting fed up with cars pulling up, honking horns outside then backing up again - loads of traffic outside. Doing my head in. Quote

Humpy Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I would that is blatant obstruction and emergency services would be stuffed if they were needing to get past. Quote
Vlad Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 ^^ agree! Just do it! I live in a flat and we have private parking for quite few cars, allocated parking space plus quite few for visitors..but recently some kids started parking there as they got some dancing classes or something down the road...one night I came back and they parked everywhere, incl allocated spaces...so I just locked the gate and gone in...was pretty funny to watch them panicking and not be able to get out...was gonna just leave them there, but unfortunately one of the neighbours came back and had to open the gate...they still stood there for good 30mins before that... Never seen them park there since lol Quote
spursmaddave Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 A while back someone parked across my garage obviously thought they would be ok as it was late not knowing I work nights.... I came out at 9pm got my car out as far as I could then just kept sounding the horn, one of the neighbours moaned I had woken his kids up, luckily the owner came out just then saying whats your problem I was only going to be 5 minutes My neighbour gave him a right load of abuse which was nice Quote
rtbiscuit Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I called in one who parked across the drive blocking us in. Police were round within 15 minutes. Also wrote to the local police regarding people parking on junctions and corners etc. Whole of the next week we had the local pc down warning all the drivers. Quote
jell36 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Police don't care about parking on corners in my area. Complained about it numerous times when people park right on the bend of a corner at a junction but the please just shrug their shoulders as they don't care. Wonder if it is a company car and so the driver might not care, as with my employer, they will pay (quite happily by the sounds of it) for any parking offences without issue. Quote

I have a card with the number and email for the local community support officer, it was them that came down. I suppose it helped I quoted the highways act. As they came and shifted them all. Also the Suffolk constabulary headquarters are round the corner and we live on a push estate. Low crime and lots of police visibility. Quote
jell36 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 i'll give that a go as some of the idiots in vans who park right on the corner really do make it dangerous Quote
sjcdeans Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I love the parking space on the with the black golf. the parking lines well on the kerbs! Quote
mattross1313 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 emergency services would be stuffed if they were needing to get past. As far as I understand it, if your car is parked somewhere it shouldn't be and prevent emergency services from getting to their call out - they are well within the law to 'move' your car. I while back I saw a Fire Engine and an Ambulance just ram a car out of their way. The owner turned up later and was politely told to do one. Matt Quote
Ekona Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 There's a silver car at the bottom of the picture parked on the kerb as well, tut tut. Quote
AMT Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Tbh (trying not to start a prevous thread lol) the kerb parking wouldn';t bother me...so long as you LEFT ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO DRIVE AND WALK BY. I hate this, upon driving up to that you should be able to see its not enough room by a mile... honestly get one of those stickers online and slap it on the windscreen. Or better wait til there walking to the car and shout "s'a good job I drive a Peel P50 mate!"....c*ck.. lol Edited April 14, 2013 by AMT Quote
coldel Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 Silver car and the golf are legally parked. Quote
spursmaddave Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah you can't see the parking box for the silver car, remember this is London and lots of parking 'spaces' encroach onto the pavement, as long as there are marked they are perfectly fine Quote
