Post by: ChrisW on March 18, 2008, 11:45:51 am
This guy followed me into Morrisons car park, on the wrong side of the road for one. After i turned in to reverse into a parking place he nearly takes the back off my car and then has the audacity to park as shown >:( correct me if I'm mistaken, but a taxi driver needs to be able-bodied, this one deffo was

I feel the need for a 'name and shame' section

I'm a tad wary of insulting others parking simply because I've been known to take up two spaces to avoid 4dints on the doors, but I only do it when theres loads of spaces. I'm not 100% sure on the disability side of taxi-driver world, but he should have displayed a blue badge if he was?

I've been reporting loads of people to betterdrivingplease.com for stupid manouvres but its not designed for parking/small offences. Tempting to make betterparkingplease.com :)

I have been known to leave messages for people like this. Using the wifes lipstick and writing on the windscreen. But then I'm naughty.

Good for you Bazza, sadly I don't carry lipstick, lol. I might have to ask Cee for some of the stickers they use in the NHS, BIG, luminous orange and a bitch to remove

Cheers

I once had a farmer write all over my (white) Four in black marker - across the windows and bodywork. Apparently I'd parked on part of his road that I shouldnt have, despite the signs not saying this and the fact that I was rather desperately looking for 6 lost teenagers who could have been anywhere in a 20sq mile area, in the Lakes.

He stood by and was very pleased with himself, I simply didnt say a thing (despite wanting to nut him) - and popped out my map-cleaning meths and a cloth and wiped it all off with a quick swipe. Must have *BLEEP*ed him off.

That would make returning from the prior lesson a little difficult
