I wouldn't get any joy from driving that!!!

Back OT: I've noticed that the amount of effort expended in parking correctly / legally is often in inverse proportion to the value of the car. Maybe people with posh cars have enough money to take a punt on getting a fine...

thats nothing, check this out!!

Nice Parrot Mic, what is the heap of **** blocking the pavement behind it

On a serious note, that is abysmal parking, but they probably don't give a f**k about people having to leave the path for them.

Spotted some brilliant parking today in a doctors surgery. They had obviously turned up whilst it was snowing this morning and guessed where the spaces were. Once the snow had melted by this afternoon it looked like it was the day after the works do with cars abandoned everywhere!

Saw a lady reverse in a similar fashion the other day.

She abandoned her Discovery after taking 5 attempts to get into both empty bays!

Some people shouldnt be allowed anything bigger than a cinquicento!

I once saw a (British) woman trying to reverse into a space in a Carrefour car park, and being unable to understand why she couldn't get the front of her car level with the other cars in the line. Could have been something to do with the Civic she was shunting backwards out of the space behind her. She really had no idea as she revved harder and harder and the clutch started to smell...

Needless to say, she legged it after the penny finally dropped: I just hope my explanation in dodgy French was good enough for the owner of the Civic to claim against the Disco driver...

I admit to my one and only paking accident of reversing into one of those things they put around lamp posts to protect them. It was low so I couldn't see it, and there was a warning sign on most other posts, but not this one. Was worried I had hit the car behind at first. Was probably only a few months after I passed my test.

I drove my week-old Megane Coupe into an Armco barrier due to 1st being where revrse was on my previous car. Then reversed it into a mini-skip that had been put down after I'd parked about a week before I got rid...

It's getting pretty bad round here too...

*ouch*

You could have done with getting the full plate of that unmarked beemer in the shot, though!

theres a really selfish guy on my street who's got a grand voyager. he seems to just abandon his thing so when a car tries to drive between a car thats parked nicely and his tank it makes things really difficult! its only a one lane street you see. one side for parking and one sides double yellowed

it hacks me off some people being really slefish about parking!!

GRR!

Before I get flamed, I don't go looking for them, all the bad parkers I see are BMW drivers......

Fair enough, it's not the owners fault but me and my uncle wet ourselves when we saw this

I'll admit I do this at times and its to stop the door dingers

If I see a car parked like that it encourages me to do a bit of door dinging

Is there an age limit on parent and child parking? I'm 24 and always wander if I could get away with parking in a parent and child space when I take my Mum shopping being as I don't really see how you could dispute that she is my parent and I am her child.

Supermarket car parks really annoy me! I have a 7 month old daughter and the number of times I can't get in the parent spaces due to people who shouldn't be in them using them really ****es me off! Its bad enough when they do it with the car park busy, but when the car park is empty and they do it, its even worse!

A bloke in a Audi A5 (brand new) did it the other day, I was so close to running my trolley down the side ;-)

I've long felt that the parent and child spots should be as far away from the shop as possible to stop this sort of thing. We parents don't need to be close to the shop, we just need wider parking spots. As long as there's a trolley park with the various child trolleys by the parking area and a decent pedestrian route then it's easy enough to walk/push to the shop. Disabled people may need to park by the doors, parents don't.

I'm sure one supermarket (might be Sainsbury's?) call them "parent and toddler" or "parent and infant", which I think is better than "parent and child".

Came home last night to find that 2 full sides of the carpark were blocked with 4 cars on each of those 2 sides. That's impressive cr*p parking, if you park properly one side will fit 6 (!!) and the other 10 (!!!!) - so instead it's park on the grass time again.
