I know it is a result of lack of space but it is still a bit funny what people get away with as far as parking here in England.
Parking enforcement and towing is a big part of the budget of a lot of municipalities in North America. So most park jobs here would see you looking for your car down at the impound lot within a few minutes.
Any bit on a sidewalk, on any road without express signage saying you can, the wrong way on any street etc. sees your car ticketed and often whisked away.

Just have your powered gates rehung so that they open outwards, then nobody will park in the turning circle at the entrance to your driveway.

Re: Street-side Parking Outside Houses

issue is the "school runners" have no respect where i live. drive up the verges, park across the drive...where they can simply park in the free car park and let little Johnny have some independence and wall all 300 metres to school.
Wankers.

We are a mile away from Southend Airport and have had one or two stragglers parking their car down our road..... not a lot you can do about it.

The road I live on is about a mile long, and the end I'm at is about 8 mins walk from the station. Every day my end of the road is swamped with cars, and I frequently can't get my car off my driveway when I get home and have to wait for some selfish pissflute to move his motor later that evening.
Last year the residents association suggested we make our road permit holder only (given every house has a driveway I thought this was a no brainer).
It got rejected because the people up the other end of the road all complained they wouldn't be able to park at my end in the morning and then walk to the station!
I was so irritated by this that I actually went to the next residents association meeting, which was in the rugby club opposite my house, and had it put back on the agenda. Some weasle faced, over entitled prick kept banging on about how difficult it would make it for him and how it had to be rejected.
When we left and I walked back over to my house, HE was the fucking cunt parked over my drive.
He lives almost slap bang in the middle of the road. He must drive for less than a minute.
When I come to power, he's first against the wall

Generally residential parking permits near schools don't kick in until 9.30 or 10.00.

Ridz,
Its not bayed is it where you are parking? if so they will get the hump as they have to pay the council to park outside their house, appreciate you are only going to be the a few minutes but small things annoy people (ask H&P).

I agree with Board on this one. I walk my kids to their primary school every morning as we're only an eight minute stroll away. Every day is a litany of cars on pavements blocking pushchairs, doors being opened as kids walk past, driveways parked across, grass verges destroyed, junctions parked on and traffic bottlenecked.
Strangely enough as I walk back home there are plenty of legal and safe parking spaces around the five-minute-away mark from the school, but no... it's all about getting as close as possible.
There was a parent-lead online survey last year asking parents for their opinions on the problem. The person setting it up's opinion and the first and angriest of to post all were about "commuters parking near the school" (which is on the very edge of likeliness as it's a long old walk to the Tube station but even if they did it's completely legal for them to do so and really none of the parents' business who parks where) and "drivers speeding past" (again bollocks as the traffic is at a crawl every single morning BECAUSE OF THE PRICKS PARKING LIKE CUNTS (or vice versa)).
Numerous e-mails have come from the school, but for some reason they never use the phrase "stop parking like shitfuckers and have a little walk" and instead we're getting Twenty's Plenty signs plus a couple of standees of a happy frog saying "don't park on the pavement". My idea of an armed militia didn't really get much traction.

The behaviour of some mums around school run time can only be described as suicidal. Seen parents run out in front of moving traffic with 2-3 sprogs in tow because they couldn't wait seconds for the lights to change. If they ever get beeped they genuinely don't seem to realise why it could be.

If anyone knows Woodford High road there’s 2 schools Woodford County high and Bancrofts where parents just stop dead in the middle of the road to let their fat spawn out into moving traffic.
There’s not really words in the English language to describe the multilevel cuntiness of it.

No one else will probably remember this but there was a really long thread on here years ago where someone posted moaning about a neighbour parking outside their house, and apparently it angered them to tears and they were asking advice. Suggestions to ask them politely not to were brushed off as somehow unrealistic. Some posters agreed with the OP's outrage and suggested things like taking said neighbour to court and smashing their windows.
OP didn't even own a fucking car.
Yes, people are very weird.

The other common thing, especially at this time of the year is a car, legally positioned, outside a house for a school pick up but the Doris has turned up twenty minutes early so she sits in her car scanning her phone with the engine running.

Our next door neighbor drives hers to school and its literally a 3 minute walk, if that.
School run traffic is worse than work run.

I’ve had a written note left on the windscreen informing me that the parking in the road is for residents only despite it being a bog standard normal residential street with no parking restrictions at all.
If I’ve paid my road tax etc I’ll park wherever the fuck I fucking well like matey!

Otb, if you live in Havering they have a hot line for sorting out people who park across drop downs.
The big issue arises when a householder is trapped on his drive way but does not have a drop down.

Re: Street-side Parking Outside Houses

some absolute cunt who lives on my road has parked me in twice because i had the front to park outside his house. he has a drive (which i was nowhere near) but seems to think the space outside his house is his to own.
last time he came bowling out to tell me i had started a 'war' by parking there and if there were no cameras he'd 'do me'. i pointed out there were no cameras, i dont think he's right in the head.
he apparently has form for scratching peoples cars or pouring stuff on them.
people are fucking weird.
