I didn't realise blue badges meant you could park on double yellows at all. What's the point of double yellows then? Blue badge cars aren't designed to be specially-non-obstructive or magically-not-dangerous when left in the road.

I seem to be spotting more and more vehicles parked on the zig-zags adjacent to pedestrian crossings recently. A particular prize to the driver of S9 AUN who had just managed to avoid blocking the crossing, but only just.

I'm sure it was a very important stroll down the beach...

Well, the black BMW 4x4 inconsiderate parker on South Gyle Crescent from the Broadway roundabout has set a horrible precedent. Was concerned that would happen.

Yesterday there was a car parked on the cycle lane when I left work, and this morning on my way in there were three cars.
@Kaputnik Is there any benefit in me adding another FMS report? Would that add any weight to yours?

In bike sheds at work - mine is the bike which I had to remove without sliding out and lowering - just as well I'm tall enough to do so...

I would have just climbed on the car.

all sorts of such possibilities entered my mind...

You wouldn't want to have forgotten to remove your cleats either....

Presumably reception would know who owns it and could pass a message to them letting them know who to contact should they want the bike lock round their wheel remove.

It always amazes me, the unfortunate damage the sharp bits on a bike can do to a vehicle which is too close due to the driver being a selfish ***********r.

maybe they've got nowhere else to go so perhaps this is unfair...

Apart from their designated spaces at the Calton Road entrance, an apparently excruciating four minutes away by road.
Unless they were responding to an incident then fair enough. Parking on the other side might have been more considerate though...

I should have mentioned it was a dog van - perhaps that's relevant...

Why are the developers untouchable when it comes to parking enforcement at the old Eastern General? Parking enforcement zip round town everywhere else, but keep well clear of these easy pickings.

There were no pictures of vehicles parked on double yellow lines on the facebook page, just pavement parkers and sadly pavement parking is not (yet) an offence.
And the indignation of the quoted web commenters seems more directed at the SNP for being the SNP than the antisocial act of pavement parking.
If only the Scotsman gave two hoots about such things as pavement parking on the 99.99% of occasions where it isn't a politically branded vehicle.

it is now, yes. Driver need executing.

Rule 248
You MUST NOT park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space.Does anyone ever get ticketed for that offence? A stroll down pretty much any street in the UK during the hours of darkness would tend to suggest not.
