No one park outside my house, it's for my car!

Re: No one park outside my house, it's for my car!

Its a waste of time them saying don't park here , it's for disabled people

Nobody takes any notice and those traffic enforcement officers are wankers

I’ve always wondered why they don’t put the disabled spaces further back as they’re obviously
Going to be really tempting to those who can be quickly in and out

Try being disabled and you'll instantly see why.

Do they push past any disabled people in the queue at the till aswell?

I think it was a joke. At least I hope it was!

Surely it was a dull enough comment not to have to be labelled “joke”
Bloody snowflake (this is also, a joke)

Wasn't trying to ruffle your feathers, whoops there's another one. Seriously though, after 64yrs of being able bodied my luck ran out last summer when I had my right leg off below the knee and also had the news I had developed leukaemia. I have a brand new go faster leg these days and although I can now walk unaided I can't go that far yet so walking far from some satellite disabled spot would piss me right off as well as hurt a bit. Guess you could say I'm a first class reformed ignoramus on disability now that I've joined the ranks so someone else parking out side my house is a big thing for me or will be when I'm driving again.

On several occasions my next door neighbour has had her car parked literally across the road, then if we've had to go out, has got in her car to park where we had been parked, all of 5 yards away. She has shouted at people for daring to park outside her house and has been very abusive to some of the locals.

Not to do with covid. Where my wife used to live when we were first going out I had to regularly park outside different houses.

Wouldn't block the drive, wasnt double yellows etc. I'd say I was confronted at least 4 times, two were quite aggressive.

Other times you were aware of someone in the window.

Had to park there but didn't like it. Can look after myself but don't particularly enjoy needless confrontation.

What a way to live though, always being on edge that someone will park legally outside your house.

I have about 6 parking spaces around the perimeter of my house. I live on a corner. I think it's a bit cheeky when people who know I live here take up all the spots, but they pay their taxes and are entitled to park wherever they want.

We have people in our road with 2 cars in the household. There's only on road parking. If theres a gap big enough for 2 cars, 1 will park in the middle leaving half a space each side. When their other half gets home they'll move slightly to create the other space.
Annoying but smart thinking.

Similar around where I live. Unfortunately one household has 4 cars despite only 2 people living there, there are 5-6 work vans etc. Cars have to park partly on pavements. I could easily have a drive at the bottom of my garden but the road surface of the back lane is so poor that one wrong pothole in the dark would take your sump off.

There needs to be a solution to this while car ownership keeps increasing.

Following links above - did you know that if you park on the street overnight, the car has to be facing the "right way", ie not facing oncoming traffic, so that headlights will reflect off your rear red reflectors. Fine up to £1000 apparently. Ouch!

I even get angry at the disabled people.

Wanna fight?!
