You ought to get video footage of him doing that! He could be done for using his phone whilst driving, plus dangerous driving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurray01 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Technically the tyres are still in the parking area, but it is overhanging onto the walk-way. I wonder how that stands legally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 He's legally parked. No part of the vehicle is touching the path. Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930F That's what I suspected. To be honest I wouldn't have too much of an issue with it, and sometimes end up doing it myself if I go a bit too far forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'd have said that was obstructing a public path. Anyone with a pushchair would have to go onto the road to get around it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie eastwood Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 A Neighbor has parked like this for a couple of weeks now, it can be parked like this for most of the day, looks like the car at the back has a for sale sign on it. The car on the left also belongs to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianb Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 The problem with that pic of the discovery is as already stated, it's fine for an individual to squeeze down the gap, but a pushchair, wheel chair or the like will be unable to pass... 99% of the time the law is ok, but this is part of the 1% where just because it's legal, doesn't make it right... Ghana, regarding your neighbour and Jamie, the problem with capturing footage and showing it to the police is that it may end up landing you in hot water with a neighbour... "I don't care!" you may reply?.... That might change when it comes down to mentioning neighbourly disputes when selling property etc. It's very difficult to complain about locals - there is a VW golf on the road where I park with illegally tinted windows, I'm tempted to mention it seeing as he has pulled out on me more than once, and by accident! (evidently his vision isn't great)... there is also a few people who obstruct the junction and make it difficult to pull into the road or out of the road, another bunch that park half a car length into a parking row - therefore setting the subsequent chain of further parked cars off by half a length, meaning you can't maximise the cars in a row! All of which are ridiculous, but they're neighbours and the last thing anyone needs is neighbourly disputes regardless of how little a **** you think you give... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, and totally agree - but why would they know the video came from Ghana? There is such a thing as confidentiality, and as far as the perpetrator would know it could have been another neighbour, or a passing motorist (or someone he reversed out on!) with a dash-cam who reported him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Would the neighbour as a 'defendant' not be entitled to see the video? Unless filmed from a vehicle or somewhat hidden location it might be hard to dispute who it was...Especially if he happens to notice Ghana + Brandy et al, standing there with a video camera one morning pointing right at him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but if it were me I'd find a "hidden location". I'd say it would be worthwhile considering he could reverse out one day and hit a child playing in the road, or someone on a bike etc...

hywelkidd Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Oh if it's a cyclist then it's ok... Or hopefully the parents of any child they let play in the road.... I do hate people who let their children play on the road. The worst has to be an estate round here where there will be children playing on the road most evenings despite there being a play area right next to that stretch of road. Cyclists can also be a real pain, especially the ones who ride side by side. I've even had one cut me up on a roundabout before. You can guarantee that if I had hit the silly bugger I'd have been the villain. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get out of my way and wave an apology as I pass then that is OK, but the ones who look back, see I'm stuck behind them and then CONTINUE to take up the whole fecking road irritate the crap out of me. And then they say "we have as much right to be on the road as you"... Let me ask you a question, do you pay road tax? No? THEN YOU DON'T HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT AS ME! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
