Just parked in a loading bay (private car etc) It’s outside of its hours.
is this free? Or do I need to pay.
Lots of people do seem to forgotten that little requirement for use of loading bays though. They’re often used for all day parking for construction vans.
You love making up scenarios don't you 😂.
Yes, I love making up scenarios that I see happening regularly.
I can see you now.
Going around on your bike with a notepad checking all the loading bays for builders vans🤣🐍
Maybe a theory test should be mandatory for everyone who wishes to renew their drivers license. Regardless of whether a theory test was taken or not when they originally got it.
Years ago, on a car show in the Netherlands, the Dutch authority for driver's licenses had a stand and they took mock theory tests. Of my "class" of about twenty people, only two would have passed. Now there were also a few children in there, but for the majority of the people over 18 at such an event you'd expect them to have a driver's license.
Although even the amount of younger people I see here with no lights or with fog lights in the rain (was a bit wet yesterday on the M50) doesn't bode well for the effectiveness of theory tests.
Used to see it all the time in Ranelagh with crews, mostly NI vans, working on the Devlin Hotel - same Skodas, Passats and vans parked in the loading bay morning and evening. It's not hard to spot.
What top clearway sign? The one from the early post? Is that in the same area?
In fairness you, you are not making anything up and I suspect it must be very frustrating for actual delivery drivers. Some people believe that any commercial vehicle can just be left there when it is expressly to be used only while actively loading or unloading. In this case, it is one tradesperson impeding the job of another.
