Here's a good example of people that need this thread to help vent their frustration -

That's a step too far, is bad parking worth losing your job over?

Am I the only person that thinks that people taking pictures of how cars are parked is pointless and sad?!!

I think it was a bit sad you came in here then. Was the subject title not descriptive enough? Were you somehow surprised by the contents?

Spotted this today at Artane Castle. For people familiar with it this mini-jeep is parked almost across a trolley bay, beside wheel chair parking and isn't a space at all, its a cobbled pedestrian area.

Sorry for the bad picture, I had to take it sharpish as the owner was standing next to me. Also, i though my phone was silent until I heard the very loud shutter sound of the photo and then I had to flee the area!

Also done a drive by:

Some quality parking by the management company of business park where I work:

X5 from last week:

The driver was even able to outdo the last weeks quality parking attempt today:

The 5 series is a repeat offender too.

The management company? Why don't you just ring them and tell them to cop on?

When did this happen? Just wondering if it is worth calling or texting the number on his van to say thanks?

Take a look at this poster that I saw on a Maxol garage wall in Bray.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at first it appears to says ''Poor Ford driver boxed in by inconsiderate 4x4 driver.'':(

But look at the picture again.
It's the Ford driver that has parked too close to the dividing line of a parking bay, and has effectively boxed himself in....:rolleyes:

I'm not sure what message the poster is supposed to give, or to whom, but it sure gave me a laugh.....:D

That's actually not the worst in the world as the road behind the car is one way and plenty wide and there's obviously enough room to use the steps. What's worse out there happens further down in that picture opposite the toilet building you can see - it's a ramp up and is right at the end of the stretch of parking bays yet people often park there, blocking large parts of the disabled access. The whole point of where it is is that the last parking space is disabled parking so there's loads of room to get disabled people out of their vehicle and up the ramp onto the walkway without any hassle. But people are arseholes.

Seen at Superquinn Ballinteer this morning around 8.45 am - I guess this answers the question about whether Parent/Child spaces are legally binding.

How do disabled parking space users keep their cool, they must be ready to go postal every time they go shopping.
