Have you spoke to him yet on his choice of car !!

Wow, that's cool. If that Yaris hadn't been there, Numpty in the Honda could have taken up four spaces - clearly wasn't putting the effort in that this thread deserves! :lol:
So then folks, lets see some fine piccies of willfull vehicular abandonment, attocious displays of reverse parking and awesome intentional bay hogging.
Glean the usual stuff off the web (you know, Mondeo parked over the harbour, that kind off thing) will be classed as cheating and we'll leave the ones of accidents out too. Apart from that - make us giggle*!
Dudes and dudettes, start your cameras!

Dragged a metro off our tank covers and discarded it in the road when I ran an Express store. Its that or £30k for turning away a tanker.

A certain member of my family generally makes a total hash of it too, but I have to bite my tongue...
I've found that reversing sensors on the Disco do make life much easier. Because you can't see naff all out of the back at the best of times.

Why do they always park like this outside macdonalds?

How's this then... sent an email to the company but didn't even get a reply!
-
Nah...ATS have to employ a small percentage of window lickers, it's the law these days...
Anyway, who are you to decide what livery they paint the short bus these days, maybe ATS sponsored the purchase of this particular short bus for the needy, the lack of windows being an economy measure for transporting the visually impaired.

Simple - if there are no more minibus (or lorry) spaces available, I'll park it across the front of the ignorant oiks who park in the minibus slots ! It doesn't bother me, the bus is a bit battered, and we're normally towing a huge Ifor, so if they try and 'squeeze' past, it's their motors that will come off worse !

To deal with this kind of parking needs the following
1) A large ramp (but somehow not quite large enough if you get my drift)
2) a scrap (but driveable!) car with a cage in it
3) a Nutter. Probably wearing a race suit with flames down the side:lol:

i also saw the tango 1 parked on the bonnet of the other landy, he actually reversed it on :shock: ....

I blinking hate that, scum who think they can park in parent and toddler / disabled spaces. The government should crush them as to teach them a lesson :evil:

I always park in the parent/child parking space when out with my mum, she may be 62 and myself 42, but we are parent and child! :wink:
And just what is it about having a child that makes you unable to walk any distance......Wonder what it was like before we had cars.... :roll:

I've had a number of discussions with parents who reckon it's ok to use the disabled bays if there aint a parent and child bay around.
One daft bint was shocked when I pointed out that those with disabilities had no choice in the matter. Maybe she was a pro-lifer... anyhow... when she said parents had no choice about having kids... I suggested she and her man could have remained celibate... she didn't like that one bit!
At the bank on Monday and a mother was loading her precioussssssss into the car seat so I asked if she had a disabled badge... she tried ignoring me... HA!
Asked lots of polite questions, kept prompting her for a response. Finally she snapped and threatened to call the police and have me done for harassment... "Please, please, please call the police" was my response! Can you imagine...?! I would probably have been advised not to be offensive or combative, to which of course I would nod politley and say yes sir. But I feel fairly sure she would have had a talking to as well!
I used to carry business cards that I had made up at home with a disabled symbol and the following:
You have parked in a diabled bay without a disabled badge. Is this the ONLY time you put yourself in their place?
Must print some more up.

Oh yes, I forgot to add, my mother has been disabled since the age of 49 and has a disabled badge for parking.......It is nice to abuse others parking bays as a disabled ticket holder..... :twisted:
-
I agree in principle with disabled bays, it is the ensuring that they are used by bona fide disabled drivers that needs looking at. I don't agree with parent and child bays because where do you stop? EDIT
If the car parks were arranged in a herringbone pattern then you wouldn't need Parent and child places because the car park places would be easier to access

now that is a good idea, Skibum.
I was at our Asda store in Wakefield and with having three young children i do like to park in the parents parking, ( saves the kids knocking the doors on to other cars as the bays are wider)
well after waiting paitiently for this couple loading their shopping in they got in and manouvered out of the space,
so i waved my hand out of the window at them, they stopped " whats wrong" i replied " youv'e forgot your kids" well you can guess the reply i received " <edit> (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=42831) 4x4 driver "
as like the above post .. abusing parking spaces, in our market place there is free parking, only in one area , so why do taxi drivers use this space to park for free, when they have an allocated rank?
all you get is blank looks when you ask.. :oops:
-

It is that extra bit of space given that allows you to open your door properly to remove car seat :wink:
Saves me bashing someones door in when they park too close :twisted:
Guess you not tried it?

Hi,
i carry a disabled sticker in my bag for when my aged father is in my car - he has parkinsons, ischaemic heart disease and a few other choice ailments. he is now finding it difficult to walk, altho' he looks spritely enuf, i get snotty at people parking in disabled spots without badges- and suggest that their disability may be mental :lol:
the best one that my dad did was when he still drove and had his disabled badge. he went to a car park and lo and behold a car sans badge in the disabled spot. there was a policeman there, so dad pointed this out. the policeman suggested that dad parked behind him and block him in, go do his shopping and not hurry back.
when dad returned, there was a bloke absolutely steaming and a smug looking copper the bloke had returned, found dad's car in the way and collared the copper about the bad parking - to which the copper pointed out that he was in a disabled bay with no permit and promptly ticketed him. the bloke then had to wait for dad to return as the copper kept wandering around so he couldn't move dad's car out of the way!
i bet that is one bloke who never parked in a disabled bay again

That's the biggest problem... most disabled bays (at supermarkets etc) are on private land so no offence commited. Despite site owners having the power in England (where the don't in Scotland) to clamp, in general they refuse to do so due to danger of being sued for damage caused to vehicles.
I had a long conversation with my local Sainsbury's manager and he agreed to instigate a public humiliation message over the tannoy... something along the lines of...
We endevour to provide high quality services for ourt customers, one of these services is dedicated bays for disabled parking. These bays are provided for disabled badge holders only. Would the owner of car registration XXXX please return to their car and remove it from the disabled parking area.
It's an imporvement on the origonal message, has potential to embarress & humiliate and acts as a reminder to others who may lapse into this bad habit.

Personally I dont see why parent and child spaces should take precedence over everyone else. I can understand why they need to be wider, to stop the sometimes ignorant owners damaging other people's cars because they are too engrossed in what they are doing to give a damn (and we let these people drive?) but why the hell should they be next to the door? perhaps if they were at the far end of the carpark the kids would get the exercise they needed once in a while without running around the store making a nuisance of themselves.
Seriously though, what really annoys me is when the parent and child spaces are next to the door and the disabled spaces are not. One big chain pub has opend near us and thre diabled spaces are round the back. What use is that?
Parent and child? it's a PUB for crying out loud.

Pubs are not pubs any more.... they are more licenced cafe s :roll:
Was thinking more space cause of lifting car seat rather than little brats, as for close to store... have you tried carrying the little boy... my arms are now 2" longer :lol: :lol:

I am SO glad you lot werent around Chesterfield in the summer. the number of times I had to park in Tesco's with a lwb tranist van and a box trailer. My record was 6 car parking spaces. How else could I park apart from going lengthways across empty spaces. I would like to add though I parked in the furthest point from the doors not to annoy people hopefully!
-
my funniest moment was in the local hospital queuing up for spaces a woman in front of me couldn't get her corsa into a space stating to the attendant theres not enough room, he heard me laugh and said what do you think i said watch me and reversed straight back!!!!
my reply was i know how to drive mine!!! :twisted: :twisted:

Personally I dont see why parent and child spaces should take precedence over everyone else.
Apart from the fact my son weighs the same as a full grown hippo.... no there is no reason really why parent and child spaces should be near the supermarket, as long as they provide wider bays so I don't have to bash peoples doors in I'm not bothered (my son is 7 months old, so still in full rear facing car seat).
However... I do have some reservations over the disabled bays as... well my mother with her various ailments which now includes full blown heart failure could have a disabled badge if she wanted to, but she doesn't because she doesn't want people to think she is disabled. She gets on perfectly well and still works weekends, which begs the question, do they just hand these out to people when really they are not necessary??? I obviously realise there are people that genuinely need them and need to be close to the stores/pubs/whatever...
The one that sticks in my mind, probably more for the fact I was in labour and about to give birth was when I waddled across our hospital car park and a undisabled driver had parked in a disabled bay and some obviously annoyed disabled person had put a sticker on his window saying
"Well you have took my parking space do you want my disability too?"
Oh and getting back to the thread... if we'd have took a photo we could have possibly won the worst parked vehicle, when we visited Meadowhall recently (huge big shopping centre for those who don't know what I'm talking about) we had to straddle 2 'normal' car parking spcaes in order to change Erik, we then got shouted at by a lady for our 'lousy' parking because she had brought her mother who apparently couldn't walk very far and she needed to park close to the store.... She was not impressed when we told her if he mother was so badly disabled she should use a disabled bay and if she is unable to walk bringing her to such a place wasn't the brightest idea... needless to say she walked off in disgust... I dread to think her reaction if we'd been in the Range Rover :lol:
-
When I worked at a hospital, you would see people drive up to the main entrance, drop off their disabled passenger, drive to and park in the disabled bays (displaying their passengers disabled badge), and then run back to the main entrance to escort their disabled passenger to their appointment!!! :x :x :x :x

Was a Big green Discovery parked outside yesterday, one wheel up onto the pavement.

Glean the usual stuff off the web (you know, Mondeo parked over the harbour, that kind off thing) will be classed as cheating and we'll leave the ones of accidents out too. Apart from that - make us giggle*!
Dudes and dudettes, start your cameras!

Saw you go up and around J9 yesterday. Sat there chuckling thinking 'That wont be any faster'
I wasnt chuckling an hour later...
Its possible no-one would have known who I meant had you not replied :)

An hour? 'kin'ell I got to Segensworth and it all stopped, so after a few light cycles I thought B this for a game, changed to east bound instead of joining the west bound, hopped off at J11, up through to boarhunt, wickham, bishops waltham, fair oak, eastleigh and under J5 into work, only 30 mins late....
So what WAS the problem?
Yes the blue beast is quite recognisable...

Total Journey time from J12 1 hour 50 mins.
There was a badly parked (see what I did there?) flatbed blocking lanes 2 and 3. The numpties sent the recovery wagon in from Soton though so it had to go all the way through 2 traffic queues AND J9.

I am SO glad you lot werent around Chesterfield in the summer. the number of times I had to park in Tesco's with a lwb tranist van and a box trailer. My record was 6 car parking spaces. How else could I park apart from going lengthways across empty spaces. I would like to add though I parked in the furthest point from the doors not to annoy people hopefully!
YEs I think some folks have a very uncharitable attitude towards caravans/trailers. On the rare occasions I have found caravns parking spaces at the services they are usually full of truck drivers kipping down for the night (so they don't have to pay for a lorry park), although more usually no provision whatsoever is made for car/trailer combinations.
For those who think it's funny to block other people in on such occasions I'd warn you that people who drive that badly probably think nothing of bumping into you either. A mate of mine had his car reversed into by 'some old git' who, having walked past said car then jumps into his Astra and reversed straigtht into it. Whne my mate blew his horn the 'git' just looked daggers at him, like he shouldn't be there.
"s'why I drive range rover mate". (his car was a MkIII 'Tina BTW).

and me :cry:

................and back to what the thread was started for
Poor car parking :lol:
-
And a big hand for the Jeep driver who managed this in an otherwise empty car park.
-
I once took up 16 parking spaces - in my defence I couldn't get a JCB Fastrac and trailer through the drive thru at McDonald's :lol: :lol:
-
And just to add my pic of parking just glad the bloke didnt charge by the bays you take up. And yes it was my old truck with me driving. And it was in bude. You should of seen the look on the other car drivers faces when i pull in. But it is a wagon park after 6.00 pm (ok so i pulled in at 5.00 pm)

Unparking!
I have been reversed into in my Disco by someone unparking badly. Passat, reversed into my NSF corner whilst I was waiting for him to reverse out- this was within a week of getting it.
Sunday, sainsburys petrol station, man does a Uturn in the entrance and doesnt quite make it, I have to stop for him to reverse, and he does so- looking over his right but not left shoulder, failing to notice my mud covered black discovery, with yellow and black hazard stripes down the sides. Bump! into my NSF corner again.
Luckily I sustained no damage on either occasion, the passat cracked a rear light lens. the other one came off with a black mark off my bumper.
How can people fail to observe SO badly.

This is why Blue is called 'the spanish inquisition', because nobody expects it. It's had more minor knocks than every other car I've owned put together.
Had another on Friday night, stopped at the M2 roundabout, heard a big bang from behind, run into by some dizzy bint in a rover who was trying to work out what she'd hit whilst I drove off, laughing. It was obvious she had no intention of checking my car was ok.

I agree.
One day, I was helping out at the Little Theatre in Leicester and I heard the alarm on my Defender going off. I went out to it (parked in the car park opposite the theatre) and found that there was the remains of a light cluster on the ground by the OSR mud flap and a small scuff visible on the top of the mud flap. :shock: No damage to my vehicle. :D
I never found out what had hit me, but it had obviously been backing out of a parking space. :roll:

excuse my ignorance... but whats illegal about his numberplate?
i cant see anything wrong with it??

Rob .... you MUST have the spaces in the right places. That is a mis-representation of the REAL number plate in order to spell something.
-
what so because it reads "E4XCL" instead of "E4 XCL" ?
does that make it illegal cos you see it all the time :shock: :?
-
That makes it ILLEGAL yes. There are rules and regulations about font style, font spacing etc etc.

Now that's just asking for a tree slider running down the full length as you "squeeze" past. lol

Yeah, there should be 1 3/16" between the '4' and the 'X' :)

It's think its more for the comedic value, than getting worried with it.
If there is a space without anything designating it as parking or not, I will park there (unless it is a clear way or access to something etc)

A brilliantr thread, i`ve only just spotted it! ...then went outside to get some more firewood...whats the first thing i saw... my disco sat mid drive/lawn!
would have taken a photo but too dark, sure you can see the irony!
something which really annoys me is scooters parking in the middle of car bays ... you finally spot the last space in the carpark, dashinto it... nloy to hear that thud.. and a scraping....
still, as long as you get fully in the bay....
got some crackers at work from our boss... Audi.... taking up 2 disabled bays! :lol: will try get them!

OMG !
Pity there was a council 'take away and impound' lorry close by......or a recovery rope on the 110 would have been a simular outcome LOL !
It won't happen again, I've been off a couple of days, but when I went to pick 'small-child' up from school this afternoon (which is opposite the Hospital) they're erecting (what looks like?) a covered walk-way from the crossing to the bus-stop, which is just beyond where the Golf's parked

will get it up once i uncover the lead for the phone....... :lol:

Saw one today - across two spaces in the local supermarket (the white line was pretty much lined up with the centreline of the car).
Is it just me or does anyone else find the ability to park properly decreases proportionally to the size of the vehicle? I've seen 22ft motorhomes parked perfectly (ok, taking up two spaces but no more, and they didn't really have much option) and little Corsas slewed across a space so as to make the ones on both sides unusable!

I normally upset these sorts of people by parking properly in the space right next to the Drivers door and they usually moan at me for not being able to get in to their vehicle because my parking was rubbish in which i say i am between the lines and they are over the lines on both sides of their vehicle

Lost that pic (had to do an hard reset on me ipaq) but took these both at Frankley services on the M5 on Monday. Must be a brummie thing.

I wish I'd seen him trying to reverse out as the car on the other side was quite close to him as well which is probably why he was parked on the white line.

me and the wife are disabled and have blue badges
the wife is normally in a wheel chair and she has a disco and i have the rangerover and find it easy to get out of a high vehicle
so nothing wrong with a little lift kit
also not all disabilities are visable

i wish i had videoed the female driver attempting to park next to me the other day.. must have taken 5mins, with her red husband attempting to guide her in..... think she was scared of the muddy landrover, and didnt want to get too close.....
..either that or santa had only given her a reverse gear for xmas, and she wasnt sure how to use it yet! :grin:
ended up she went forward straight into a bay further down! so funny, had to give a round of applause! :clap:

just so we know some are keeping up the "good " work.

I wish I'd videos one a couple of years agao, I was in a pub carpark queue waiting for spaces, I'd seen a gap alongside a substation but the guy ahead of me spotted it too, so I waited as his wife got out and guided him backwards. Into the front of Blue :lol:
He never appologised or checked my car for damage, just ignored me and carried on. I think he got a bit fed up thogh when all Julies mates started laughing at him when he came into the pub :lol:

my mate owns a tattoostudio in castle road, bedford and i regulary go in for a coffee
the best bit is we hold up score cards to show people what we think of there parking!!
the funniest thing is, they 'pretend' they dont see us, but we can see there blushes and cold sweats lol

it was driven away by one of the very highly qualified "staff" of said well known store. We sat and waited becaused we were so fascinated as to who could park so badly. Even the 6 yr old turned and said " that;s not parked... that just stopped!"

I was on holiday in France a few years back. I watched a big French bloke in a pug 205 park under a fence. As he got out, his car went up, putting a nice dent in the bonnet. I couldn't stop laughing :lol:

I wanted to post on this thread from the start but only just found the picture.
We were on a treasure hunt in bala area last year. we had finished for the day and we were all gathered around in the main carpark at bala for the answers/presentation etc when this guy drove in and simply didnt stop at the edge of the carpark!!!!!
His responce to the inevitable "are you alright ?" was "yeah ... it's only a loan car the garage gave me whilst they fix mine after I drove into something". He then ambled off into the town center without a backward glance.
-
No way that was getting towed off that wall without destroying the car. It must have taken a 4 wheel lift rig to pick it up.
-
In their defnse I think a lot of those russion cars were parked on top of compacted snow and only became stranded when it melted. How else do you get a Kia on top of a Merc :-k
