Yeah I thought so, but you can only prosecute when the driver returns to the car, as you have no one to prosecute or cannot apportion blame as to who was behind the wheel at the time the idiocy was performed?

We can prosecute the registered keeper.

Private companies used to only be able to do the driver at the time of the infringement but now have the ability to enforce on registered keepers.

Now I know this kind of parking is deliberate and therefore can not be classed as a parking fail but it still boils my *****!!!!!

Outside Dobbies in Perth I think it was, last year when we were on holiday.

I realise why drivers do this ie so the chance of being hit by another inconsiderate driver/passenger door being opened and damaging their car BUT how about we all park like that and see what happens?

I really wish I was brave enough to park right up close to the drivers side and retire to a suitable distance and await the drivers return!!! :ph34r: :) :) :)

EDIT: Our *cough* Sedona parked correctly to the right of the picture ;)

haha, I have parked like that on a few occasions, brushing up against there car and sitting in the driver seat waiting for them to come back. Then just as he headed over, I jumped over to the passenger seat and got out the car. He started shouting blue murder and demanding I move my car as he couldn't possibly get into his. I told him that I park like that to stop knobs from damaging my car when they swing the door open. It was an interesting site watching this middle aged fella try to climb over the passenger seat and into the driver seat. Having my phone out with the camera running, he didnt dare hit my car, just drove off.

unfortunately I would love to share the footage, but my card died a few years ago and I cant recover it, so if anyone knows how to fix a damaged SD card, I might be able to recover it!

Going through my Photobucket pics the other day and came across this one. It was scanned from the front page of our local rag a couple of years back. In no way do I think that any members of the constabulary who frequent these forums would behave in such a manner ;)

In fairness, 90% of my parking. I've given up on bothering parking now. If it is really going to annoy someone else then fair enough but otherwise, oh well :P

Especially good with my 500m away from the curb parallel parking.

When I first bought The Van, I took a whole load of photos to show my folks. For some odd reason, I took a pic out of the window above where I'd parked it that day and...

Yes, it does! (Blimey, you've got keen eyes!!)

I do a reasonable amount of freelance work for them via one of my clients. Lovely bunch of people, are Lionhead.

I thought the yellow lines and the white zig zags meant "dont part on me, but next to me is ok?" :p
