    Some car/van have a serious problem with parking properly :mad:

    Walking down the village the last couple mornings to get the bus to college, and three pricks take up the whole pavement with their cars and vans. Having to walk on the road in the pissings of rain while it's dark out cause they can't park properly is a joke. The should be fined for this sort of stuff.

    I assume you mean parents and child spaces or are fathers not allowed to park in these?

    I hate it when people do that, they should be beaten with planks of wood with rusty nails.

    Unless of course they have their hazards on which makes it completely acceptable.

    if OP walks out on the road as a vehicle is passing perhaps OP deserves to be lamped.

    I have to park on the pavement every day. Otherwise the road outside my house would be completely impassable. How selfish would that be?

    Exactly. It's hard enough for drivers to see people on the road in normal conditions, add in the rain and it's worse.

    And to the person who asked if the had their hazards on, they didn't. The cars and van were completely idle.

    I wouldn't mind if they were just mounting the curb or whatever, but making the path impassable is a hazard.

    some roads are just not big enough to park your car on the road otherwise you could well end up blocking the road

    So you wait for any vehicles to pass and then walk around.

    then the cars will have lights on, making them even more identifiable in the dark.

    hold on...hold on, the complaint is that you might not be able to see the parked cars and end up walking into them?


    Ya couldn't really make this up..it doesn't get dark enough that you'd miss a parked car in the middle of the countryside on a cloudy night, let alone anywhere with paths.

    Better to park it on the pavement, than block a cycle lane.

    It's indefensible, irresponsible and a public safety hazard. Attacking the OP for the purposes of defending this kind of idiotic parking is complete bollocksology.

    No the parked cars/vans won't have lights, don't know if there were street lights, OP did'nt say, it was raining and Dark, and where I live there are plenty of eejits that drive without their lights on, so yes I can see a problem for the OP, if you can't, well then I'd love to live in the cosy little atmosphere that you do where everything is perfect.

    I park responsibly, but if I caught someone knocking the mirror off my car, I'd probably use them as a punch bag.

    plenty of people drive around you without their lights on in the dark whilst it's raining?
    ah stop now would ya, you're clutching at straws.



    not everything is perfect, no, but it certainly has the illusion of being perfect compared to the absolute shíte that some people complain about on here.

    There are street lights, but they're pretty poorly space out.

    Also, it's straight after a bend, so a car could come flying around the corner, and I'd barely have a chance to react.

    You should make your way around the cars that are offending you a bit quicker then.
