No point. They won't give a sh1t and they'll be as helpful as a dyslexic on countdown.

Get them towed like?

No way they'd give that out.

In Spain, you ring the local police and they give you permission to break a window and move it out of the way. You can also apply for an official no parking sign. That gives you permission to break the window without calling police. Seems like a good idea to me.

they might not give it out..BUT if you mention the car is blocking the entrance to st micheals house and emergency vehicles cant get in or out.. they might... or at the very least ring them on your behalf themselves... informing them the guards have been called...
it is not just a normal residential house that is being blocked... hence they might entertain the call..

I would be livid if a car company gave my details to a 3rd party, I'm sure they would be breaking data protection laws if they did.

not give out the details.. as i said..they could check them out, if it is on their system and ring them on the behalf of the person...
as you said... it is NOT a normal residence.. there are emergency vehicles at play...

josip

Is there a reason you don't post the full reg?
Many people do in the dashcam thread.

Gardaí would have to make the call to them, not a Joe Soap, no way they would entertain it I bet.

If a vehicle is blocking an entrance, or even just a single car, and there is more than 4 people it's simple to bounce it out of the way. Even better if it can be bounced into a location that makes it hard to get into.

I'm actually surprised that a vehicle blocking emergency services access would not be considered a priority for the Gardaí or at least the clampers, who will lift and impound or clamp on a side road.

eh let me see...EMERGENCY vehicles and access... not just a simple inconvienience or pain in the A**

yeah..surprised at the guards at this too.. they would have the details of the person on their system such as address and that... dont think they would have a mobile number for them though..hence the reason i suggested windsor...they would have a mobile if it was a customer of theirs...
why they did not get the council or that to lift it i dont know either???
ignorance when it comes to parking and other peoples access is unfortunately all too common...:(:mad::(

Bit of a difference between a Juke and the Chunky Chonky in your vid.

First video I found. We've done it with bigger cars. The size of the car doesn't really matter as the suspension is doing most of the work.

rest of reg 20189, if i can take a screen shot of dash cam will upload. to view all reg go to first post.

Is the car still there? Surely not?

Might be worth asking around the neighbours. There's a similar car (Nissan Note) parked nearby on google street view (June 2014)

I'd have smashed the window, and released the brake, tbh.

No there's not, cheapo light metal boxes, start the bounce and the springs do the work.

So did the car really block staff in and ambulances out or just make their entry/exit more difficult?

OP said they had to leave car in work as a resukt and get a bus home so I'd day it did block staff in.

billy few mates

If that was me who'd been blocked in the owner of that car would be definitely ringing around for quotes today....

The the Gardai not tow it !?

Looks like there was a function on in either Francis hospice or Woodbine club, so I'm guessing when this finished the Nissan drove off.

Lots of hard lads on here tonight, probably wouldn't do jack shít

So you wouldn't call the Gardaí but you think posting it here is going to do... what exactly?

Even at that, they'd be using the data in a manner other to which it was intended. They'd be fücked.

Should have just rang the fire brigade and informed them it was blocking an emergency exit.

Regardless of whether the Juke driver was parked illegally or not it should have been towed away and crushed for being an ugly Horrible cheap car!
