When driving into town to pick up my wife yesterday, I was early and decided to pop down Gloucester Street to find a space and go grab a coffee. I usually wait alongside the alley way at the Kitchen Bar at Vic Sq but waiting nearly 30mins there is a alot of pedestrian traffic and over the last year, ignorant fat $%^" just rub by the car, hit bags etc... drives me nuts.
Anyway, take a right after St Georges market then first left on to Gloucester St and you will usually find a space or two. I turn onto the road (one way street) to find a Polo perpendicular to the kerb??? I think she attempted to park but ****ed it up so badly she was nearly facing the wrong way, no idea how but she panicked when she saw me come round the corner and skooted off - happy days for me, I got a space.
Unfortunately I did not get a photo but you can see below that parking is either side of the one way street and can imagine how hard it would be to sit at right angles to the kerb lol
1. Me coming round the corner
2. Polo facing right angles from the kerb LOL

Inconsiderate arseholes parking on path and blocking legitimate entry from work onto the road.

Parking over a dropped kerb in addition to parking too close to a corner therefore causing an obstruction of view?

wouldnt have a big problem with that to be honest, unless its worse than it looks.

It is worse to be honest, you have to edge out and out until you are well onto the road and anyone who knows this stretch knows that the 30mph limit is totally ignored.
Might get the car cam on this lunchtime to demonstrate.

Yup. The building to our right was vacant for a while after the Motorbike guys left, its now a shopfitters workshop but instead of them parking down their side street, they all park out front or in our factory spaces, they were then notified that it was private property and park everywhere else and is a pain.

This lad parks like this every day, diagonally across a perpendicular spot and right over a dropped kerb in a place where loads of people push prams. He seems to know no other way. Maybe he knows, but doesn't give a French fried ****.
