Here's one that has left me stumped,

Is ok for a heavily pregnant woman to park in a parent and child space if there's no mum to be spaces provided

I'd have no objections. As long as they were within the white lines :pac:

Hah, the Whitford. Parking there is in fairness only moderately awful, but dear God the number of people who ignore the one way system is unbelievable.

CD plate on that one. I think that means he can park where he likes

Diplomatic immunity only applies when there is someone in the vehicle, as one of the Belgian Embassy staff found out when their car got towed.

The point of this thread is to show people parking obnoxiously, which the photo were talking about isn't showing

The example he posted of parking over the cycle track very much so is obnoxious parking, it's a prime example of it. Most people don't understand why their parking is obnoxious, and it is clear some posters don't understand.

The car is parked for no good reason over the two-way cycle track at a fairly sharp curve in the track. The reason the arrow is there is to try to keep cyclists going in that direction to their side of the track -- hard to do when the car is in the way.

Look at this carpark on Google Maps -- all of the cars over the cycle track have room within the parking space to move away from the cycle track. The space on front of the parking is also quite large. There's no good reason to be parked over the cycle track -- the car he pictured is obnoxiously parked.

The car could be considered as a diplomatic pouch under the Vienna conventions. I suspect the car was retrieved without paying up.

It was relocated from some obnoxious parking. I don't know if money changed hands.

An ignorant, obnnoxious parking job at Mahon Point in Cork.
Not parked in the actual space, but making the space completely unusable for anyone who is entitled to park there.

And here's another one.
I'm 36.
My mother is 64.

Can we park there, since it doesn't actually specify an age limit on the child?

Yes, you can park there. But......you mother must push you around in a stroller.

I was wondering that on Sunday just gone, when it was p1ssing it down as we approached Tesco.

Decided to park in a normal space as her legs still work.

Absurdum · 28-09-2011 12:09PM

I don't think anyone would object to that, apart from about 5000 nerdy boards users.

Cormic · 28-09-2011 09:03PM

To get back on track

Carrickmines yesterday. Place was largely empty but still two people cannot get it right...

The camera was on my phone is soooo crap

Some just have the parents holding the childs hands so therefore you must hold your mothers hand.

This annoyed me because I was coming from the other side of the road. A guy flashed me to cross his path in Ballymahon Co Longford and as I turned I couldn't get into the space. EDIT LOL at cars across the road. Spaces angle diagonally.

Other car just as bad.

This is Lisdoonvarna. Quiet this time of year but how is it that hard to park correctly? Miles from kerb and a pretty obvious bunch of cones on the other side.

-Corkie- · 28-09-2011 09:16PM

Ballymahon is a kip for parking even though the street is wide. Were ya looking for another woman in Lisdoon???:pac::pac::pac:

Shouldn't they be parked front-to-roadway, to avoid reversing onto a main road?

LOLOLOLOL Lisdoonvarna doesn't have any "talent" EVEN during the matchmaking festival.

Ballymahon is a silly place full of silly people. That was the place with the guy driving up the wrong side of the road. :eek:

It's not really practical with angled parking spaces. Reversing in is very awkward.

It's a design flaw if you ask me.

Three in a row: Footpath, cycle lane in rush hour, and solid white line in the middle of the road.

Seems like the ROTR do not apply to people going into the doctors and maybe what ever is next door as well, Google Street View has two different images -- two and one -- of cars parked around there.
