    Parked on Double Yellow lines in a bus lane on Mulgrave Street Limerick City

    Isn't it blocking the entrance to the car park for the apartments too?

    A couple from the car park the Carlton Hotel gym in Galway:

    Taken within minutes of each other - so no excuse for those in last two photos not to park in proper spaces.

    Sorry about the bad pic.
    This was taken in the applegreen service station in Ballinteer earlier on today. I drove in to put some air into the tyres but these 2 muppets decided to park right in front of the pump even though they where not using it, I sat there for nearly 5 minutes waiting for them to come out, rolls in hand with spaces free on the other side of the petrol station.

    Every single day, I park in the exact same spot in college. It's right at the end of a row beside a kerb with a bush on that kerb...I always get my passenger side wheels within 5mm to the kerb, and so this affords me nearly two foot on my drivers side to get out and assure I won't hit another car. Without fail, I always come out to see this...

    I made it bloody easy for you to park beside me....:mad:

    No I think there was just enough room. It's one of those times were I would like to have my own van and 10 minutes to spare and just reverse up to this back window. :D

    Have seen this van out on the R503 outside of Limerick recently. They are probably putting it out there wondering WHY they are not making money. It is because nearly EVERY driver is warning you it's there. :D

    Or else not get into your cushty government job quick enough for a trade union meeting about a strike no doubt. Those spaces (on that side of the hospital) are all Staff Parking so there should be no excuse as they park there often enough.

    What is weirder there is a specific security guard on that car park. Surely he would say something.

    Blind corner (90 degree, 'S bend') on the Clontarf cycle-track, just the place to put the arse-end of a merc:
    175853.jpg
    Bad enough causing a hazard to others with his selfish parking, I dread to think what might happen if he hit a cyclist while parking that barge.

    Unbelievable that the city council removed the barriers that used to prevent this happening.

    TBH he looks to be properly parked (ie. in between the lines) - what do you expect with an arse that big? It's just bad cycle track design really.

    I would have to say the same. It would have been nice to see the whole car lenght. Maybe he has to go back that far with a long car to avoid his nose sticking out.

    Might be parked between the lines but hasn't parked the car in the space provided. If it doesn't fit then go elsewhere - blocking the cycle lane is a hazard to cyclists using the lane.

    Or maybe bad parking bay design? Or, more precisely: just plain bad parking.

    White van man here with some really ignorant parking. Parked across the junction while he ran into the spar to get a pack of cigs. he came back a few minutes later and then threw the wrapping from the cigarette pack out the window onto the road

    If he purposely reversed the wheels up onto the kerb then I'd agree with you, but have a bit of common sense about it. If the parking bay is badly designed that's not their fault. If the cycle track was very badly laid out, that's also not their fault. If you're not going to create parking spaces large enough to park a decent sized car in, why make it at all?

    its a badly laid out cycle lane at that part because theres a blind bend in the track and the parking isnt thought out much either.

    So seeing all of that, just as you have, he decides to park there anyway?

    IMO that's a typically Irish 'nobody take responsibility for their own actions' outlook. Nobody forced the MB driver to park overhanging a cycle lane.

    even a supermini type car will have some overhang onto the cycle path here, not much you can do about it, its not bad parking IMO. OP have you ever reversed into a spot so that your back wheel hits the kerb, if yes then by your reckoning you yourself are an obnoxious parker!

    Of course you can, just don't do it!

    Of course not, it would be inconsiderate and obnoxious to do it. Also, when I leave my car, I always check to see it's considerately parked, it's the decent thing to do.

    Cyclopath. Haven't the frequenters of this forum being over that location already?

    Not obnoxious, just unfortunate for cyclists.

    So what your basically saying is that that parking space should not be used at all?

    Lol, sure you do you get out of your car and walk around it each and every time you park up, no offense but i wouldn't beleive that for a second.

    There's illegal, obnoxious and inconsiderate parkiing there every day. That's the point.

    You have a peculiar understanding of the word 'obnoxious'.

    He pays considerable VRT, road tax and tax on petrol and is probably paying for the parking there too so if the space is not big enough for his barge then that ain't his problem. Blame the guys who map out carparks thinking that we all drive smart cars and the guys who put cycle lanes in any available space rather than thinking it out...

    It can be used but only if it can be used legally.

    Why not? it's what all concientious , considerate and law abiding drivers do? You can't just abandon your car anywhere, that's the point of the thread.
