I've ranted about this plenty of times before but cunts on large 4x4s and vans who insist on using weight and width restricted Albert Bridge are worse than Hitler. There are permanent queues because the cunts in quesiton can't be arsed to use Battersea Bridge a few hundred metres down the road if this saves them a minute in their journey, so they slowly inch their way through the width restriction bollards at the entrance of the bridge. And quite a few get stuck too.

Why don't you simply use Battersea Bridge to avoid the delays caused by this?

Because Albert Bridge is the closest bridge, directly on my route, and most importantly because I travel on vehicles that actually are well below the weight and width limits of the bridge in question. So I neither cause unnecessary strain on the bridge nor I have to slowly crawl past the bollards causing a traffic jam behnd me. Unlike the twats on large Transits or Range Rovers who shouldn't use Albert Bridge at all.
 
It is a tight left turn from the Embankment on to Albert Bridge and the restrictors are very close to the turning which doesn't help :D
I recently saw a woman, with young child in car, go the wrong side of the road making this turn because she screwed it up so badly :eek:
It would be better to use Chelsea bridge; Battersea Bridge is busy enough as it is and has no pedestrian lights for crossing any part of
that crossroads. :mad:
 
Extra prick points for driving to the gym too.
No, that’s bullshit. You have no idea how far he lives from the gym, not if he has any mobility problems that make walking there difficult. Or maybe he just wants to spend his exercise time doing targeted exercise rather than walking along roads, which is also fair enough.

Driving a Lamborghini and parking like a twat are quite enough as reasons to think he’s a prick, frankly.

I am not sure a Lambo or similar is a good idea for anyone with mobility problems; access may be difficult.

Depends on the nature of the mobility problem.

People can be real judgemental pricks towards those who have physical problems. It’s not up to those who have such problems to have to constantly justify themselves to strangers. It would be a nice world if people just accepted that others can have reasons for things that they don’t necessarily constantly want to have to explain.
 
I've been that arsehole who saw a neighbour with a blue badge and apparently walking freely and thought "huh". Got to know said neighbour and she has awful arthritis that some days allows her a bit of mobility. Poi then realised that just 'cos you're not in a wheelchair...:rolleyes::facepalm:

My deaf sister also has mobility issues that are not visible. The abuse she gets can be horrific. Her response is to say she doesn't care, she can't hear them. Which is a good job given the hate I've heard levelled at her from the more ignorant amongst us.

Sadly that's the human condition.

My one armed one legged friend always gets abuse on the tube cos they can't go on the right side of the escalators. No cunt ever apologises at the bottom though, even when they finally realise how wrong they are. They just scurry off. me pall has been driven off the tube by this, it's just too much agro.
 
A lambo with a disabled parking badge would be a novelty. Saying that, I remember there was an issue of a dentist with a Bentley fraudently using a disabled badge.
 
A RR makes more sense than a sports car as they are much more accessible. Besides, why shouldn't the good people of Guildford be able to park where they like and without paying. :D
 
When working in my old office building, I used every day to walk past at the exact moment this guy pulled up in one of those expensive BMW sports things (not a Z3 or Z4 but a proper job) and got out somehow pulling a wheelchair after him.

No reason why somebody should have to give up on the car they want just because of a disability.

I was recently talking to a friend who has a Bristol, a Ferrari, a Porsche, a 1955 Morgan (some sort of rare version, can't remember which) who said if I really wanted (I don't) a 4×4 the Range Rover was the best. He even suggested the Evoque wasn't that bad although it's a Freelander in a party frock.
