Parking the "wrong way" What law does it break?

[Badjelly]

YOU LAWLESS HEATHEN!!!

How DARE you park on the wrong side of the road. That's worse than drink-driving, murder, rape and knifing pensioners all rolled into one.

Why won't somebody PLEASE think of the children?

Lock him up, and throw away the key.

I for one am outraged.

So Frosty was pretty lucky to get away with a $40 fine, then?

It starts with parking the wrong way, then it becomes bank robberies.

Frosty, was the WCC? Tell them to sort their shit out before they go issuing tickets.

Actually, tease them about not existing in a year or so.

LOL, you've got me all wrong......not at all, just being in the job i'm in theres's ALOT of ex-pat brits, and some of the shit ive heard about the laws is pretty ghey......

Come on then give us a few to chew over

I HAVE to park nose in if I'm parked on a sloping street as BB's stand doesn't give a large enough angle to guarantee he doesn't tip over at the slightest gust or touch.

I'd write back stating that you had to park that way to ensure the bike didn't fall over.

Classic!
My mate was telling me that in Wales where he lived, you can be done for failing to turn up for archery practice on a Sunday!

Because a nighttime the reflectors around your lights will be facing the wrong way.

Legal in the UK. Illegal in NZ.

It is only legal in UK during daylight hours. At night - the reflectors are (as you said) facing the wrong way and are useless.

Here in NZ it is illegal all hours. There was a couple of cars along my road (quite a posh street) that regularly parked facing the wrong way - one was on a blind hill on a bend. I came driving along, the pillock was just about to pull out and had headlights on, that and an oncoming vehicle also with headlights on - I was literally blind. Very dangerous.

I rang the council about the two cars down my street - no idea what happened but they dont do it very often now. But I still ring the council if I see it.

In France it is apparently illegal to mow your lawn on a sunday because of the noise.

you'd want locking up if you chose to live in France...

What possible difference can it make what end faces traffic.

Reflectors are on the back of the car.

Can somebody tell me the the law it breaks to park in daylight with the front of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic.

In daylight it's no problem, but I was going to move it before dark is no excuse because people are notorious liars.

In Bugtussle it's illegal to be a fuckwit on the internet

Hey folks I got a ticket from the local council for parking the wrong way on the roadside....

I've been assuming Frosty got the ticket for a 4-wheeled vehicle.

Bikes are a bit different because you can turn them round before you drive off. I guess the reflector issue still applies at night.

It wasn't a bike, was it, Frosty? Has anyone got a ticket for parking a bike on the wrong side of the road? Or the wrong way on the roadside?

Sounds petty because the fine is only $40 but it annoys me they have nothing better to do.

Its a law to catch out lifes lazy bastards, these are the Lazy bastards that are too lazy to turn their wrong way facing cars before they finnish off their parking manuver, these are the very same lazy bastards that are too lazy to wipe their arses after having a shit.

[James Deuce]

Yu're not allowed to back into an angle park either.

What do you do at night when driving past oncoming traffic? Close your eyes?
