Reg plate numbers are ok to show in pictures, but not to write in the post itself.

In essence people can post their own pictures of bad parking with comments, but they cannot chat nor quote.

Sparti, Greece on the site of ancient Sparta.

Granted the Greeks are notorious for both terrible driving and bad parking but this one took the biscuit. I thought it was occupied and about to do a U turn but no, it was parked up, on a zebra crossing, in the middle of a main road :eek:

This is from ages ago. Seen said car go for the disabled spot and completely miss it. Then just abandon it on the footpath That's all footpath inside the red marks. Sure 1 wheel is in the spot, that counts as parked doesn't it???

A regular occurrence at Lidl Coolock. Why would one want to go into that awful free car park that's never full beside the shop when you can block most of the foothpath instead

Got out of my car, was walking away, turned around and saw this! Was mortified. But I still didn't move it, "shur I was only going to be a minute".

Cavan town Library. This is an everyday occurrence, so must be a member of staff, either of the library its self, or the Planning Office upstairs.

Not only are they parking across the bus stop they also decided to drive right across the footpath... Words fail me in relation to why they thought this was ok.
