Subject: RE: BS: Car parking in the UK - an observation
Dead Horse - here's another one to add to your list... people (who shall remain nameless but live next door to me) who park their car in such a way as to take up space that any other normal person would have been able to get two vehicles into. They leave just enough space to make you think you'll fit in, only to find that it would take a shoehorn and some fairly serious lubricant to actually manage it. Or those that park over the lines in marked bays so that you can't get back into your car because there's no space to open the door..

Don't get me started on roundabouts and indicators!! Many's the time I've nearly been squished at junctions as a pedestrian... I've run up to cars and asked the driver what the orange lights on the side of the car were for.. they usually look blank and get confused and then you can shout at them!
