Title: Desperate for a parking space!

Filmed by a friend of a friend in Brighton a few days ago. Stupid cow was trying to park and not boxed in trying to leave!  :laugh:

Without a shadow of a doubt - that's a Parisian driver.

It's unbelievable what people will do to get out of paying. Last year someone reversed into me whilst I was parked. I got out and the old man just denied it flat out. There wasn't any damage when I inspected it and it wasn't my car so I just couldn't be bothered with the arguing. But seriously, an old man reversed into me (causing a moderate jolt) and then denied it 10 seconds later.

Not even an old man has the decency to recognize his own mistake and pay for it... :doh:

Ha!!!
So is she actually slightly bumping the cars behind and in front of her to gauge when to stop?
People like this make me disproportionately scared of parking on the roadside.

This is why I don't park on the road.

The mind boggles, :thinking:

Why do people also park and leave such a large gap between the car in front behind its like using 2 spaces

Italy, Spain and France are scary countries to have a car parked on the street (in decreasing order). From the few foreign countries I've visited.

Maybe before there was a Smart Fortwo parked in that space or something similar.  :confused:

I was parked outside mine a few months back and I had 15mm space from back and front as two baskeets blocked me in but I made it out with a few good turns although I was cursing ans the misses didn't say anything. stupid people don't think about others.

I highly doubt that anyone here would block a car when parking. I try to leave as much space for others as I can so they don't have to try hard to leave their parking space. People who don't care about their cars don't think much about it, I think.

I always leave at least 3ft or so either side if possible, unfortunatly that doesn't allow for others parking after ive parked and  boxing me in.

No, 90% of car owners don't care about where they park! I always try to park well away from anyone else, especially in supermarket car parks, and definitely pubs. People are so lazy - they have to park as near to the shop door as possible - fine by me, leaves more spaces at the top end of the car park for me, away from the morons who just throw their doors open! :slap:

I hate parking up if it's somewhere with only a few spaces.

I try to leave not enough space for another car to park behind/infront of me but sometimes it backfires when some muppet tries to get in anyway bumps both cars and drives off.

I got boxed in at a car park the other day there was plenty of space but due to some muppet parking so close to me i struggled to get out and kissed a bollard with my rear bumper. Luckily no damage done :phew:
