There’s a chippie near me that’s located on the corner of a junction, on a bend at the bottom of a narrowish hill. Double yellows on the corner, junction and for about 20m up the hill.
However, every evening as I return from work inconsiderate a’holes park as close to the chippie as possible, right on the corner/junction, on the double yellows, flashers on, whilst they get their chips.
Traffic is held up in all 3 directions, and if you have the temerity to wind your window down and point out that they are blocking traffic (as I did tonight) you get a mouthful…..chavtastic blond getting into her white BMW tonight shouted “Yeah? I do what I want. **** off dickhead.” Her mum must be very proud.
I’ve spoken to the chippie owner, who I know slightly, and just got a shrug and a brush off. I even emailed<span style=”font-size: 0.8rem;”> the council to point out that people are parking illegally and causing traffic problems. No answer was received, but seeing as we only get a visit from the traffic warden about every 3 weeks I doubt much will be done.</span>
Not much in the scheme of things, but it annoys me that the buggers can get away with it. I’m tempted to see if a mate with a tractor can take the corner a bit wide one evening 😉…..if you’re parked illegally who would be liable for the damage I wonder?
