Driving Standards

Of course there are, after all she's only holding up a bus, so a bunch of proles heading for the proley part of town, Eashing. They can wait, it's not like they can't watch Jeremy Kyle on catch-up.

no - look behind the bus, there are two cars in picture and who knows how many more behind them. One of them looks like a shitty little plastic thing but the other could be a classy vehicle for all we know. We can speculate wildly on the vehicles that could be out of shot of course.

Actually I think the bus is the problem here, it's blocking the way. If it wasn't there those cars behind could get past. Bit of a road blocking and polluting menace buses, they should consider banishing the buses to the outskirts of the town like Mumbai has done with tuk tuks.

And when people do park off the road they get tickets, this poor sod has had three in the past two weeks whilst parked in the same spot that I've seen and I've only been down that road three times in the past two weeks, so he probably has many more tickets

Why ticket that? It's a considerate bit of parking, doubtless to prevent blind men from castrating themselves on that egregious railing placement to the right

It is a legitimate off-peak parking spot, as long as you like during evenings and Sundays, but only 15 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, idea is to stop traders/shop workers from taking up space from people nipping to the shops, thus helping stop the high street from dieing. The Range Rover belongs to the owner of the Barbaracca restaurant just to the left of the car, he seems to think the fine is a reasonable price to pay to park in front of the place, quite bizarre as there is car park right behind the restaurant:

He has a Range Rover with a personalised plate. Why on earth would he want to put it in a car park and walk across the road, when he could just beach it outside his restaurant door?

Today, I shall be picking up my brand new Ferrari and take it for a spin on the M1. Maybe I'll even get to take it home, or perhaps not

its a bit shit isn't it , likely put his foot down to impress someone, arse kickedout and he powered into a field on fire. very few people a re proper skillz drivers but surely it is common sense to take it gently and get a feel for the car before you start pushing it? fool

That'll buff out.

Some of the bits still look intact there, all he has to do it get on ebay for the rest of them as spares and fit them all together. Meccano, basically.

Fair play to them; they tried to get it into a space and they were shopping at the Coop.

Puts poor old Mr.Saahd snapped at Eastville Tescos earlier this year to shame. He actually bothered to chuck his car across a quiet side of the car park...

Thing is, these days there's no point even complaining to the shop / GP surgery / office / wherever about some selfish dick parked badly in the car park, because 9/10 times the car park belongs to someone other than the place it services, so they can't do anything about it even if they want to.

/edit to add: I drive disabled people around as part of my job, and the number of times all the disabled spaces (or the one single disabled space) are taken up by vehicle(s) without a blue badge is beyond counting.

Quite. You'll note that just before our intrepid man of class and taste has to make his move the M3 swiftly gets the fuck out of the way.
