^^^Brilliant!

Someone must invent a similar device for people who park on cycle lanes!

See that opening in the brick wall next to the car? That's their off-road parking, large enough to fit 3 cars (one is parked in there already).

That is just screaming out for a jogger to hop onto the bonnet and off the other side-

or a pavement BMX/ Jump biker to bunny hop across.

Quite. Or for a miserable old git wearing steel toecaps to accidentally walk into it . . .

I'd missed off a description. Added now.

Seems like as good a day as any to run-in those studded tyres before the winter...

It's the marque, not the ethnicity that counts it seems. A Super U car park..

Seen yesterday.

I would have told the driver that they'd left their lights on, but as a cyclist I was wary of passing this vehicle on the inside.

Oh and that white van off to the left was waiting at red. Despite crossing two lines and blocking the pedestrian crossing I suppose you can't really blame them as they would have had trouble seeing what was beyond the Hills Prospect lorry.

Just don't annoy the scaffolders, OK?

Are we sure that is fuddish parking rather than just a prank?

Ham · « **Reply #737 on:** 19 November, 2015, 12:50:40 pm »

No, but it is a picture of a parked car

Kim · « **Reply #738 on:** 19 November, 2015, 01:21:38 pm »

Also in not technically fuddish parking, I just witnessed an amazing feat of skip lorry acrobatics, extracting a heavily overloaded skip from between two parked cars, one of which it was literally overhanging^[1].

The secret is to attach a chain from the wrong side of the skip lorry's hydraulic lift to a corner of the skip, and use the lifting force to drag it towards the road. Bonus points for knowing when to stop before the skip falls over. Further dragging by moving the lorry forward, combined with a 15-point turn lined things up sufficiently to hoist the skip without actually bashing any of the surrounding parked cars.

Our intrepid skip lorry driver managed all this without dropping his cigarette. The same can't be said for a quantity of plasterboard, which someone has now come and parked a car on top of.

_{[1] Parking with your bonnet underneath a teetering pile of building waste in order to stay outside the double yellow lines is brave rather than fuddish.}

That's ^^^^ rather cool. I have seen on the anbaric distascope Leftpondian truckers using the rear wheels of their tractor units as a winch to haul themselves out of snow-filled ditches, with the aid of those toestraps-with-attitude used for tying down loads, and a sturdy tree.

Not fud parking but this seems a good place to put it.

Here we have a (presumed) dentist making rare use of the illegal parking lights in a horriblemarket car park.
