Centra Newport

There is a no reason for that Focus to be abandoned like that.

I used to live in Newport and I used to find it a right pain gething in and out of Centra to get diesel in the van so i gave up and went to the other petrol station found it alot easier to get diesal at times any way parking in newport is odd it seems to be a place where every one just abandoned there car and walks away

I thought the photographer was quite brazen. Lots of close-ups of the Mercs, which I thought mightn't have gone down so well.

Ah come on now - taking photos in public is quite legal.

It's still a public place, and it's still fine to take photos. The reason i'm making the pointof it is that a lot of people seem to have the idea that it's somehow not ok to take photos of Gardaí, which feeds into a culture of impunity on their part.

Overly zealous towie on the M50 on Christmas Eve



Protecting this burnt out Insignia


Still... the towie could have parked less dangerously.

BTW, not totally relevant here, but saw lots of abandoned cars on the M1 that day too, slowly thawing out. None of them looked damaged apart from three or four SUVs here and there - probably over-confident in their ability to speed past normal cars. Example:

Em, no it's not

I agree with the Gardaí issue though, also, there's no need for people to be blurring out reg's

Ah, but it is - a public place in law is basically any place to which the public have access. This includes lots of private property - hotels, shopping centres, car parks etc.:)

Hmm, your right. Apparently, the law is only effective if there are signs for no photography.

The dash-cam is from www.Roadhawk.co.uk - there's a thread in Motors somewhere just for dashcam talk

It is indeed legal to take photos in a public place.

If you check elsewhere in this thread you'll see that I have taken a few pix of Gardee and/or their vehicles/behaviour myself. For this subversive behaviour I have been warned to 'watch myself', threatened with arrest, instructed to leave an area under the Public Order Act, cautioned and had my name taken, and generally on the receiving end of insolence and apathy. All for taking photos of illegal, anti-disabled, anti-pedestrian and anti-social parking!!!

However, I did think the Hodson Bay guy went a bit further in the circumstances than I would have, e.g. taking photos of the Taoiseach from close up as well as details of state cars while the Garda driver was present. I'm a little more reticent and discreet -- these days anyway!

You shouldn't be so easily intimidated. Taking photos of our taoiseach and Gardaí in a public place is quite legal, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Petrol and matches would probably do the job.

Joyride? Maybe? Or abandoned due to snow, and some git decided to have a bit of a fire with the pressies in the back, to be a complete ****?

Then again, it isn't completely unknown for newer cars to have a bit of a fire now and again. Electrickery problems. Haven't heard about Insignias just combusting though.

And once again, making deliveries is NO excuse for just abandoning it any old where:

The owner of that Jap Scrap in the picture is a known asshole. He frequents boards quite a bit as well, is much hated by most people. He likes putting his ballsack on peoples faces when they are asleep and taking pictures of them. He likes Sex in the City(the movie) and is a true......................dickwad.

And judging by the location - the owner of said Jap Scrap may been frequenting a testing clinic.
.....the plot thickens

Awful parking from the truck, the poor guy in the Integra had to park arseways because of it. I must say though that is a really nice Integra
