I'm assuming based on the position of the cars that the Audi has rolled backwards into you? At least you got his plates ?

PS, I will snap some as I leave work today, there's always people PLAC here!

It’s my sisters Mondeo, she says the guy reckons it was his handbrake that failed but I’m not convinced. It could be that he had done a long run, discs expanded with the heat and then handbrake got put on. When the discs cooled and shrank the handbrake didn’t keep enough pressure on to hold the Car. This is why I always leave my Mk5 in gear.

Not sure which crime is worse.

Most of them can't park either .

Likely all gone for an eyesight test.

Um.. yes. That's sort of why I posted the picture...?:wink3:

TBF to the others, it only takes one to PLAC and everyone then gets out of position.

That is true. I once parked next to a similar offender, but I stayed within my bay [emoji57] Of course, said offender then couldn't get into her car so came back into the store growling about the "Fxcking idiot with the black Ford ending in YBB"

Extremely entertaining. Perhaps she'll consider her positioning when she next bay parks. Highly unlikely though!

A synchronised block-in would have worked wonders there! :ph34r: :biggrin:

That's just standard parking for an Audi isn't it?

Should have been given 4 tickets, afaik the fine has to be proportionate to the companies/councils loss. If £60 is allowed for a single violation then £240 should be ok for this clown.

Definitely an atypical Audi driver.
No consideration for other drivers.

Lol took up 4 bays :laugh:. Just shows money doesn't determine the size of someones brain. Yeah could say they parked like that so no one parks right next to them and hit they door on the bodywork. I have to park in a residential area 3 days a week and do get a little worried about careless drivers parking front or behind the car. 

I get the feeling (because there is snow on the ground) that they parked like that when it was covered and had no idea where the lines were.

If not they are a tool.

I did think the same thing, for about half a second. There is only one other car with snow on it and a very small amount of snow immediately in front of the Audi. The Audi would have had to be there for at least 24hrs for the snow to have melted to nothing, you should be able to see snow under the car where the sun hasn’t reached?

[emoji88][emoji88][emoji88] what a harsh taskmaster!

Very fair point though...

I got the pictures from a local Facebook group where someone posted about this offender.

This was a debate that my fellow residents brought up especially as it was during the whole Beast From The East saga. The photographer actually saw the ticket being issued so asked the inspector for more info who said that the car wasn't there when he started his shift (so had not been left overnight) and that morning, there wasn't nearly enough snow to denote that they wouldn't have been able to see the bays.

So... Just a plonker by the sounds of things!

What's the difference between a porcupine and a wannabe 4x4?

With a porcupine the pricks are on the outside...
