A few Eircon vans in Tallaght HIgh St on Friday 7/10/11. The one on the footpath was bad but just look at the cnut parked in the disabled spot outside Chess where people collect and drop their disabled children off. When I took the pics the hardworking lads had pissed off to lunch..

Option 5 is a winner

- Guy worried [I can understand] why someone is taking photo and reports it to cops.Cops ring RangeR to get my side of story. RangeR tells cop the full story and that the photo [without reg] was posted on boards.ie.

Guard then goes on to say that these types of "parkers" pisses him off too [not his exact words] but he can't do anything about it as it's private property.

Guard says nothing more will come of it.

Obnoxious Parker. If, after the Member talks to you, you decide to visit this thread, the intention was nothing more than publicise obnoxious parking. Please don't do it again. That was all I asked.

The only part I can't understand is why you blanked out the reg.:)

just enough to deny adjacent space...

I didn't. It was pure circumstance that I only took a side profile shot. If I had the reg, I'd post it.

It's grand, you'd fit a car in either side of him, no bother - something shortish on the left, something long on the right, ideally. Then take a nice long lunch. And a bit of a walk afterwards. Then maybe some shopping.

Ok, these are the ones I bothered taking over the month... but there's been a hell of a lot more I've seen. Galway is crazy bad for it.

Looks like Nightline didn't learn anything...



Taken 08/09/11, 13:06 - 13:07, And the van number is NLV 813

Same day at 14:43


Incase you can't see the sign, it says
"24 hour emergency access gate, any vehicle blocking this gate will be towed away" - It's the side entrance to the hospital grounds. Common enough place for people to park obnoxiously, these guys drove off before I could get closer.


Some of the parking in the Hospital is priceless, you don't know where to look in this pic


Or this one

(look at the background too)

Apologies for the quality of this one - Iphone cam at night... but... You can see 3 cars parked on double yellows (just nipping into the shops to the left), and one unfortunate person trying to get out of the underground who's blocked in by a double-yellow parker - Can't get around the car as there's metal poles in the way coming out of the underground



And if we cross the road, we find another Nightline van... Parked in a taxi rank

From those pictures it looks like the joint box is in the disabled space. Nothing wrong with the van being stopped there as the space would be unusable while they work on it.

Seen another nightline van recently parked on double yella's with his hazard's on, which makes it ok :rolleyes:. I didn't get a pic as was driving past, but all to save time pulling into the carpark beside him to park it properly.

When you drive a van for a living you'll understand

Car park almost empty, and no, it's not a Centra van.

Merbhp, I would say 50% of people parking around that area park like asshholes, it could have a thread of its own . I'm sure if you turned around you could have taken a number of photos of people double parked, sometimes on the pedestrian crossing, right outside Superquinn and the pharmacy, usually taxi drivers. Then just to the side of Superquinn there's two disabled bays, you always get tools parked there head in so they don't have to walk those extra few metres.

And the best is that outside Lidl there's a pedestrian crossing, you get idiots actually drive out of the car park via the pedestrian crossing instead of driving around and out the proper way.

Funny Enough that...

My Mother drives both a cookie van and a milk truck for a living.
Neither her, the companies who are emblazoned on her vehicles OR the owners of shops she is entering, would approve of half the van parking photos shown here.

If she is going into a shop it is expected that she uses parking spaces that do not obstruct customers entering the shop, or take up a park desired by a customer.

Remember Public Relations if your business is named on your vehicle!

My kids would love her! The only thing they might like better is a combined Milk & Cookies van...

BTW, fair dues.

Eh, is the photograph of the car parked where it is parked not photographic proof??? The hint of it being photographic proof is kinda spelled out by the fact that it is a photograph proving that the car is VERY obviously parked where it absolutely should not be.....ie: photographic proof

Well done sir.
You just won a three year old argument.



To be fair, the oversized visor probably hinders his visibility of the lines somewhat.

Sorry, I cannot find my time machine keys today. You will have to win this argument for now.

You see the first page was kind of like a hurdle where people didn't really "get" the thread and it had far to many posts arguing back and forth about registrations etc. Even the Mods couldn't agree.

Thankfully the thread has evolved and rarely gets further than two pages from the first page of threads in the Motors section. I'm glad the spawn of my creation is doing so well.

I HATE that place. Has to be one of the worst laid out car parks imo. The yard is too small for all the spaces they have squeezed in. I refuse to park anywhere near there whenever I'm in good aul Sligo.
