Did you #### on his bonnet? If you didn't you have failed in your duty to humanity.

I'm always stunned by how many disabled people and parents with children drive 2 seater sports cars. 😯
disabled people
Why can't a disabled person drive the car they prefer?
parents with children
I assume they have another car.
Some quality driving and parking:

Well firstly I'd imagine it quite difficult to get in and out of a Boxster, and lord knows where you'd put the mobility aid / wheel chair. Maybe the lack of room is the reason they don't have a badge on display?
I assume they have another car.
...and that they've left the kids at home too?

Why would all disabled people have trouble getting out of a Boxster?
...and that they've left the kids at home too?
Or it is one parent's car and they are out alone. (yes, I have a TT - technically a 4 seater but our two children have never been out in it and I drive it every day to go to work).
Ahhh I see, silly me, parent and child spaces are for people who are parents, regardless of a child being with them?
And disabled badge holders don't need to display the badges anymore, they can just say they're disabled and park in the spaces?
M_F my appologies for being so stupid today. It's been a long week.
Sorry I see what you are getting at now - 😕
But still, I don't see why a disabled person can't drive a sports car if they wish (and are displaying a badge when in a disabled space). 😉
Been long week for you too then 😆
They most certainly can if they want (room for any required mobility aid permitting 😉 )
Every week is a long week with 1yr old twins. I come to work for a break 😉
Why the hell don't disabled people have to pay on the Severn Bridge?
“The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations”
isn't it just as much the lack of everyone else's expectations ?
It's generally expensive cars I see doing overtly selfish stuff, double parking, parking on disabled spots (with no badge) and taking up two bays.
But just being really bad at parking isn't confined to rich or poor, my house is near spar, butty/pie shop, beuty salon and chemist, lots of short stay parking and lots of bloody awful driving/parking. 1, 2 or even 3 wheels on the pavement, parking about 3ft from the kerb, some guy in a punto just reversed the back end onto the pavement and left it there. Sheds or bling mobiles doesn't matter they are useless at parking
Everyone in a car is selfish though aren't they? I mean, almost every car driver breaks the law by speeding. Most car trips are short, easily cycle-able distances and have only 1 person in the car, while spewing pollutants and killing thousands every year. Hardly a considerate way to move around town at all, is it really?
Perhaps not, but it is much more fun than walking or sitting on a bus with old people.
Driving round town isn't more fun than walking or sitting on a bus. It's a pain in the arse.
Parking's a premium on our street. This isn't helped by the two smallest cars on the block insisting on parking exactly a car-length away from the nearest vehicle. There'd be room for two or three more cars if these two would sort themselves out. Makes me ... grrr ... HULK SMASH!!
We've had 8 cars (and a boat trailer) parked here no problem - mwhahahahaha...
Used to take up top half an hour to find a space in Bristol so I DO NOT miss the hassle at all.
Struggling to see the OP's link between "poor" and "bad parking" though...
konabunny - Member"You ought to see the way the rich park in Knightsbridge... A lot of them can't be ticketed apparently, cos the plates are in Arabic, and can't be entered on the wardens computers"
[b]They should just be trailered away - not legal to drive without Latin numerals and country of origin disc.[/b]
You'll find konabunny, that Latin numerals on number plates are in fact illegal in Britain.
Some years back a smart-arse made the news because he claimed that the Latin numerals on his number plates were legal - he was swiftly prosecuted and convicted.
It is in fact Arabic numerals which are the legal requirement in Britain.
I only mention it btw konabunny, because of your long and rather impressive pedantry record 🙂
I saw a nice yellow lotus Elise parked perfectly in a disabled space the other day, I couldn't work that one out.

Theres not many perks to being diabled, I dont mind them getting this one
