Looks like the car park is deserted, whats the problem?. Seems like this thread is full of cars parked a foot into a neighbouring space, hardly a big deal.

If it was deserted, then if anything, it would have been easier for the driver to get it right!

I would be of the same opinion.. and would park over 2 spaces when there are MORE chances of some woman knocking her doors against yours. :rolleyes: (I've only ever see women do this.. sorry harsh but true)

Funny thing is, when I do park in the middle of nowhere within the space far away from entrances etc, I come back and find a car on either side of me.

I know this has already been mentioned plenty and i've even seen a thread here giving out about number of disabled spaces in tesco in celbridge (thats theres too many). I was furious reading it!

People think there are too many space so therefore they are allowed park in them. I was there one saturday afternoon with my 83yr old grandmother, who is far from the most mobile and has a permit for family to us to use when driving her somewhere (and yes we ONLY use it if shes in the car). There were no free disabled spaces and i had to park on the other side of the carpark, my grandmother never complains about anything and didnt about this either but i could see it really was a tiring trek for her. We eventually went by the disabled parking and not one had a permit in their window! I was so pissed off.

Coming back out I had to leave her on her own outside the shop (with loads of groups of teenagers around, i dont have anything against them but they can be intimidating) while i got the car and battled the carpark traffic to get back to her. The first walk was enough for her, she wasnt able for it again back to the car.

A little manners and respect people, as unbelievable as it sounds those spaces are there for a reason!

Now the road is quite wide, but there is parking on both sides, so that makes it narrow enough that only cars can pass each other. Car v bus or bus v bus gets complicated.

Especially when you have people like this, parked almost a metre from the kerb "because I didn't want to damage the tree" - as if there was no other parking.

I'd say some lazy muppet dumped the shopping trolley in the parking space forcing the merc to go wide around it and ended up parking over 2 spaces. No excuse BTW.

That's a fekkin major gripe I have with parking in shopping centres... people leaving trolleys in spaces!!!

Then why didn't they just park in the second space?

Based on the car and reg, I think you are wrong.

The Outlet in Banbridge on Saturday, Citroen parked first then the Audi.

Class, I always see some prize parking at The Outlet. You'll see the same people doing it over at the Gap side of the car park - they must be employees of the facility. Must get pics next time.

Also, I have noticed Security trawling the car park in a small white van taking photos of non-yellow-reg cars, which is worrying. Looked suspicious although their van is marked up as 'security'. Wonder what that's in aid of. The cars they take pics of are properly parked, so we know they're not posting on Boards

Post the reg, name and shame!

went in shop, done shopping, came out, this car still there...

dharn

it is noticeable that the last 2 are 11 reg cars to they want as much space as possible around their shiny new cars so it is a deliberate and selfish decision

I wouldn't blame them to be honest.. which every shopping centre car park victim would know why!

At the time i went into shop there was no cars within 2 parking spaces front and side of this one, the carpark was fairly empty with plenty of spaces

You don't want it damaged - don't bring it.

I've had my E31 badly damaged in a SC carpark after I parked it in the wilderness - It won't be going back.

Never, ever, ever take more than one space.

Sesshoumaru

This person managed to get 4 spaces in one.

Hard to say if you only own 1 car. Parked in the wilderness so away from all other cars? Do you find when you come back 2 cars still manage to park either side of you

Nah - some wonderful human being drove into it then drove off. God knows how it happened.

My point is that you leave yourself open to everything that comes with parking in an SC carpark when you park there. Taking up more spaces than you are entitled to is despicable.

If you were in a wheelchair, pushing a buggy or whatever, what do you have to get past the car?
They could have left the car on the road altogether.

Sadly so many other people share the same, misguided, selfish view as you when it comes to parking on footpaths.

Footpath parking: one of the most widely ignored rules in the RoTR?

The rule is set out clearly on page 116 of the print edition, but IME the enforcers, most especially AGS, seem not to have even the vaguest awareness of its existence.
