A pavement parking odyssey

Rather entitled parking at Morrisons this morning.. 👍

I am seeing those more often now. I would be fun if a small car managed to park in the gap on the right hand side.

There's a point to be made, though, about how cars have become too wide for the existing parking spaces.

Edited to add. Most supermarket car parks are now managed by parking companies, who enforce time limits. I wonder if the company that manages that car park would issue the twunt registered keeper a penalty if someone were to forward that photo to them.

'Parking Eye' @ Morrisons, I believe 👍

Saw a range rover driver getting into his unoccupied vehicle parked in a parent and child space yesterday. Idea enforce the use of those spaces and lay out the spaces furthest from the store for ovely bloated cars.

You are probably right
but never judge someone by the space they have parked in unless you have the facts

My Dad was disabled and a couple of times he walked a bit too far and knew there was another car park closer so I went back and brought the car to him

proper badges and all that - and you are certainly allowed to drive the car for the benefit of the disabled person
(which can be abused)

and the same would apply to parent and child spaces
maybe he was with the kids when he parked but suddenly had to leave and the otehr adult stayed with them while he left

maybe

anyway - just saying - don;t judge based on limited evidence
but also saying - we know people - and people are ****s

Range Rover - the prosecution rests.

Saw a massive jeep-type vehicle today with tyres that extended way beyond the wheel arches.
Pretty sure this is illegal; would have been the absolute highlight of my day to forward the details (or a photo) to the rozzers.
