Course he doesn't ! there for the common working class people. And they shouldn't be allowed motor vehicles anyway. Although racist remarks are filtered Snobbery of course is not. You should drive to the road conditions, parked cars or not if you lost control of your motor vehicle then your responsible. Regarding insurance it is a iffy thing to prove . Yes its normally parked off road Mr Churchill but on that occasion I parked on the road to unload some shopping.

Would have had a ticket in my time and on the pavement. Parking is not a police matter any more, not in London anyway. But this raises a bigger question about electric cars. Soon we are going to see wires trailing across pavements etc Edited January 17, 2021 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Only thing to do with police via regards to parking is on zigzags as that's a criminal offence as far as I can remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but usual guidance you'll find is - try and contact the owner?! and politely ask them to move it... If it's blocking emergency access it can be dealt with (usually by the council and a tow truck and not the police) and you'll probably be waiting hours on 101, also if it's just been dumped but you could manage to drive through it's definitely a council matter. Can't say this might be the case in city's, I don't go there or worked there Lots of parking issues used to **** me off but the reality is, when the councils took over the parking issues, after about 6pm it's a free for all, and the police don't get involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there is no actual right to park on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
