Pissing wet day, looking for the closest parking space to Argos Extra, Liffey Valley, and this f**ker takes up the two closest spaces. The worst thing is that me, and about four other drivers "saw a spot" when we were in the parallel isle looking for a spot, but this b****** had taken it!
Took on the 3.2 MP phone.0 -

should be clamped for the stickers aloneTestTransmission wrote: »Don't normally post pics here but this really annoyed me today as the carpark was pretty full as it was ,obviously the multitude of stickers all over the car gives you permission to park like an ass.

The guy who parked crap was very polite in fairness. You try doing that in an irish car park and youd probably end up with a knife in some part of part of your body0 -

What you on about?It's a caption for the attached imageSorry - I just don't appreciate a photo I took being posted in a thread where it really has no business. I'll leave it at that.
Sorry for my above comment. I assumed it was tinyjiney's photo since he posted it, and that it was parked since it was posted in this thread.

Diagonal Parks are used all over the world. (Most notable, in my experience, NZ.) The idea is that if the park is angled 10-11 O’clock from your direction of travel you drive into the park and reverse out. If the park is angled at 7-8 O’clock from the direction of travel you reverse in and drive out. (The reverse in parking space being more common in Australia.)cyclopath2001 wrote: »In that case, you're reversing from a main road.
Yes: "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."
Since, those diagonal spaces offer little or no visibility for reversing, especially if there is another vehicle alongside, it's clear that reversing from such a parking place would be illegal.
A wise driver would reverse in or find a safer place.
Does anyone else find it laughable that there is an argument here about the legalities of these parking spaces, in a country where:
1. It is considered acceptable to park on the OPPOSITE side of the road to the direction of travel. (i.e. DRIVE against the flow of traffic on the RIGHT hand side of the road into a parking space. Then drive out of said parking space again on the wrong side of the road.) This being a major hazard to other motorists, cyclists and anyone trying to cross the street, as the drive now has ZERO visibility. Else where in the world you would be ticketed for Dangerous Driving, Driving on the wrong side of the road or Dangerous Parking as your rear reflectors are now show in the wrong direction. Even in my sisters little cul-de-sac in NZ this would get you an expensive ticket!
2. To get your driving licence in the first place you have to reverse around a corner from one road to another! Surely this should be grounds to lose your licence, or at least get a ticket, not gain a driving licence?
Appologies to moderators, I had posted this before I saw the earlier warnings to other posters.

You obviously do things not just upside-down but back to front in the Antipodes.
Just because other nationalities are incredulous at some of our driving and parking practices doesn't mean we're wrong, you know.
EDIT: We also have lots of get-out clauses, so anything goes really. Such as: Where possible, park in the direction of traffic flow.0 -

And its not like that lace is short on spaces!
That's where my 8er got whacked. Out in the wilderness nearer the older shops too .....
Parking related... The small road beside Nimblefingers (no joke) in Stillorgan. Cars thrown everywhere but I wanted to pull into the small parking area outside the cycle shop. Car in front (silver SLK) stops then reverses into me.
Cracked bumper. I looked at it, said 'f**k it', got back in the car and continued on my way. He was lucky. (I'm having bad luck with it, it started to blow on Thursday :mad: and dropped about 15 mpg, this after NVD damaged it in transport - hence me not giving a sh1t about the incident)
Parked up and when I came back there were cars parked on both sides of that parking area and it took me ages to reverse out. Mayhem.
No pics - wasn't in the mood 0
