More Obnoxious parking - ***READ FIRST POST BEFORE POSTING***

Berty

In fact the Garda press office will reply and say "We are not out to get people" and direct Garda to act "with more discretion" meaning Gardai will steer well clear of giving out these tickets/court appearances for a while.

The story seems to be that had he bothered his hole showing up in court, he would have gotten off a lot more lightly.

What a waste of a nice footpath!

monument

This large unmarked DHL van (the driver had a DHL uniform) was part parked on the footpath and part on the contra-flow cycle lane on Capel Street. On the path and blocking the contra-flow lane and the view of the cyclists using the contra-flow lane.

I asked the driver to move and he got thick with me and try to claim I was going the wrong way down a one-way street, I tried to explain how the contra-flow lane worked but he was having none of it. I told him I was ringing the gardai, he didn't seem to believe me -- after a min or so a bit behind the truck on the phone with Traffic Watch he seen me move on and then quickly moved him self:




Three in a row here from Brunswick Street North, Dublin. Only seen the taxi when taking the pic at first:

- Taxi parked or at least stopped in the contra-flow cycle lane when there's no reason he could not have stopped in the loading / parking beside it

- Second car in the far background in the cycle lane marked also with clearway at all times or in the cycle lane close to the junction at the end of the road

- Last car not so bad but parked at a weird angle and maybe also over two spaces



Same contra-flow cycle lane. More daft parking when there's a space to the right in the photo and I there's also a car in the far background in around the same place as the one in the last pic:



On a yellow lines, over a kerb and on a cycle track (the new one along the canal):

No maybes about it.

Definitely a case of stupidity, laziness, carelessness, ignorance and lack of professionalism, IMO.

And they're bus/cycle lanes are they not?

Just about managed to get her out allright! If the owner of the corsa had have been there, I would have been tempted to tear off the L plate and plant it squarely on their face

This lady just parked up on the side of the driveway in the underground carpark rather than drive to a parking spot, she got out walked back a few feet thought about where she parked, looked and her car and decided it was ok.

It's Dundrum SC and she possibly was driving against oncoming traffic as well, not sure but I think it's a one way system right around.

Disgraceful.

Blocking wheelchair access, no tax or insurance, throw the book at them.

Me? I saw her get drive up and pull in, she had a passenger with her and I assumed she was pullling in to let him out but both got out of the car and left it where she abandoned it.

So this gentleman lands his Hyundai into the parking spot, waits a few minutes doing paperwork etc, then tries to open his door to get out, only to find he has trapped himself in!

Reversed then into the row behind him - could he not have parked properly in the first place?

You should let BE know about this. That's disgraceful parking from a professional driver.
