This driver may not be such a fool after all.
The other cars will all reverse out into the main road to exit their parking spaces. This is not legal, according to the ROTR.
I am aware of one parking zone that had similar diagonal markings and, after AGS intervention, the markings were changed.
The council could be liable if there was an accident caused by a reversing car.
Maybe the driver is aware of this....??? (I doubt it but it could be a good defence on his part).
Not true, it is perfectly legal to reverse out of a parking bay onto a road if it's clearly safe to do so. The ROTR only says it's illegal to reverse from a road onto a major road.
SI 182/1997Reversing
12. (1) Before reversing, a driver shall ensure that to so reverse would not endanger other traffic or pedestrians.
(2) A driver shall not reverse onto a major road from another road.
(3) A driver shall not reverse from a place adjacent to a public road onto a public road save where it is clear to the driver that to so reverse would not endanger other traffic or pedestrians.
That's even less justification for bad parking.

I bow to your post, and will endeavour to do my homework better in future.
Mind you, if you read my last sentence you'll realise that I actually feel the way that guy parked is truly obnoxious.0 -

LOL @ Old Woman who was reading the paper oblivious to where she was parked in the Corolla. The Astra driver is more or less parked in the entrance to the shop. I was reversing to get away from the pumps and had to avoid another car behind me parked up against the pump island.(not getting fuel of course)
Ah aul ones and the countryside life........

The girl miraculously blocked the passage.
Most interesting, the SUV is exactly in the middle of the tunnel from the entrance and exit from the tunnel before him to 4 meters from the front of the wall 15 centimeters, and from the back of the wall 10 centimeters.0 -

I have a theory that people who can afford a "proper" Beemer, i.e anything 3 litre+ petrol maybe something M or 6 series or above don't behave like that.
They don't have to prove anything to anyone and I can't say that I have ever seen rowdy behaviour on the road from one of the serious BM's.
It's always the bottom end, cheapest, nastiest possible that tailgate, park obnoxiously, overtake through roundabouts, etc...
They have to make up for the fact that there just wasn't enough doe to buy a real one.
If the 5 series was available in 1.4 petrol I'm sure sales in Ireland (and nowhere else) would treble.
Maybe we could pitch that idea to BMW? An Irish spec 5 series, 1.4 petrol, steel wheels, no aircon, windup windows, driver airbag and (at extra cost) power steering.
It would be like Mad Max out there.
Look At Me! I Have A BMW!:p
Wasnt there a picture of a 5 Litre 12 cylinder Armoured BMW 760 parked Obnoxiously on a path across raised paving a couple of pages back?
Just cause someone has the cash to buy a more obnoxious car doesnt make em less obnoxious parkers....

^^^^:D, how the hell did that happen
I've done this before as a joke, used car trolleys like this.
Jack it up, push it into place, jack it back down again. Takes less than 10mins for two lads with a good trolley jack. Alternatively use a forklift but you just damage the underside of the car.0
