In defence of Range Rover drivers (I know, I know), the driver of a Range Rover - and a white one, at that - was the only driver to let people out of a junction last week.  It was a quarter-mile queue to Blands Corner RAB, where pushing forward that extra ten yards would have made no difference at all, but she was the only one to leave a gap.

Obviously parking in one of the many vacant bays further from the door wasn't an option, so they went for the middle of the road instead.

This morning outside my local primary school:


But officer, I wasn't parked on the double yellow lines!

There's a whole Facebook page for bad parking in Colchester. I keep looking out for people I know!

Experienced a couple of weeks back as I went to see Joan Armatrading. What the photo doesn't show is that just out of picture to the right is a garden wall. Great sight lines to the nearside when trying to exit the garage block

That's a clear candidate for three-part parking enforcement:

1. Tow.
2. Crush.
3. Inform owner via YouTube.

I remember similar being done with a transit on West St in Sheffield while I was at uni.  On that occasion a load of police turned up and rocked it off the track. :D

That is why trams should have Cow Catchers of Wild West steam train style affixed to the front. Slow tram- contact parked fudlike cage, apply power.

It's hard getting such a large vehicle into such a small parking space. The really silly thing is the next three bays to the left were also free so they could have had a bay on either side without any problems.

Talking of junctions...
This chap was here, at the bottom of our garden, for about half an hour at school chucking out time. A lot of mums park round here to pick up sprogs. There was quite a bit of interesting manoeuvring to get past this twit (it's a crossroads). There's no one parked behind or in front of him so why he parked on the apex of the corner I've no idea.

When I was a lad I parked in High Wycombe next to where the double yellow lines finished. I got a parking ticket because regardless of no double yellows I was still within 10 metres of the junction. So it is I learned rule Highway Code rule 243 the hard way. If I had a penny for every offender I have seen since I would be rich.

Highway Code rule 243 (partial): DO NOT stop or park opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction except in an authorised parking space.
The sad thing is, since we've had marked parking spaces here (Residents' Parking Zone), there isn't anywhere within 10 metres - usually within 2 metres - of a junction, that's not an authorised parking space.

Strictly an amateur.  A proper fud could have taken up four spaces even with a car that size.
