CycleChat Investigates - Pavement Parking

[Drago]

Why has this been moved to thr Motoring forum? It's not about motoring - its about what people do with their litter when they aren't motoring.

Mods may as well just delete the thread, it's been ruined.

If there is room to park at the roadside then park on the road, if there isn't room to park there should be double yellows. I enjoy driving but refrain from pavement parking, in fact it boils my piss. More than once i haven't used a last parking space because the twot behind as parked on the pavement and to park properly in front would in fact block them in and probably result in damage to my car, and thats on wide carriageways, they seem to think their cars are less likey to be scraped or hit as they often appear to park in a formation getting further onto the pavement meaning the car behind sticks out more.

I find writing YPLAC on a sheet of paper, then sticking it to the windscreen with contact adhesive is an effective deterrent...

Apologies for the necro, but I thought it was worth it after finding this price specimen out on my walk today.

I challenged a woman today who had parked all 4 wheels up on the footway and her riposte was to ask me if i didnt have anything better to moan about. I was tempted to reply that i would soon be moaning about all the vanadalised cars that get left on the path but managed to bite my tongue,

One of the people I support is totally reliant on a wheelchair 24/7 if I mark a car of some dick who doesn't think of people who might need the pavement to use then tough sh*t and see you in court. Males me very angry indeed.

Mrs D is oft reliant on a wheelchair, and if an unlafully parked car gets damaged as a result of me making lawful prgress on a footway then they can kiss my hairy arriss.

In a similar vein, when we go in a shop (Not so much these days for obvious reasons) I like pointing out that they may need to rethink the store layout and not pile so much cack in the aisles as people in wheelchairs need to be able to navigate as demonstrated by the knocked over piles of aforementioned cack all over the floor behind us. The Works, Superdrug and Tescos are big offenders.

Consultation ends soon.

Another necro, apologies, but this beauty deserved to be posted publicly.
On the pavement, on zig zag lines, and blocking the traffic's view of pedestrians stepping onto the crossing.
Amazon driver, you are my winker of the week.

Interesting. When does that TV show start?

Yeah, but it was either that, or start a new but duplicate thread. Which is the lesser internet evil? I genuinely don't know.

Either way it's not a proper necro, not like those ones where someone joins up and then answers a question someone asked 8 years ago. Even I post batman memes to those.

This is the one you really want...
