Self preservation, are car drivers putting you off?

A close pass video.

the thing that annoys me more thesedays is Ill see lots of houses with empty driveways, and they just park their car on the road/pavement instead, like theyre too lazy to even use their parking space they have with their house.

My mother and aunt used to live in a house right in the town centre, and every Tom, Dick & Harry used to use their drive as a free car park. When my mother moved out, the removal van couldn't get in because of a parked car, so it had to park on the double yellow line outside and bring the whole town centre to a standstill on a busy Saturday morning.

Bless your heart.

Twice I've been on buses whose way was blocked by parked cars, the last one was a taxi parked across the entrance to the bus station whilst the driver went off for a tea break.

Hooliganism ! Britons as a race have always been bloody minded, which may have helped win us an Empire and a few wars, but what does this anti-social behaviour say about so many Britons in this modern age?

Maybe along the 'we've got a garage' idea.
Yes, you have a garage which because of the 70 + year old dimensions of said garage you'll have no chance of getting the car in, so it just ends up being used as a storage or hobby roomso the car lives outside anyway.

I live in a small cul-de-sac with twelve semi-detached bungalows/houses, each with a driveway and garage, arranged around a turning circle. The road is barely wide enough for a fire engine to get in if there are cars parked on the opposite side from my driveway. Those same cars would also prevent me from getting in or out of my drive so if I know I need to go out in the car I tend to park it opposite the entrance to my own drive before anyone else can get there and effectively block me in. Nothing to do with laziness, just practicality
