Nice Parking

[Neodave]

A bit of good parking as reported in the Lancashire Post.

A large parking fine would do the trick without all the fuss. Makes us all look bad. Why black out the number plates ?

Whatever was towing the inshore lifeboat should have dragged the two vehicles out of the way - preferably to below the high tide mark.

They probably need to put in demountable posts, but make those offenders pay for them.

Parked in a public place. No need for privacy as I see it.

A village near us has an area in the car park marked Bus Only, it's to allow the bus to turn. At the weekend there were two motorhomes parked there with awnings out. Irresponsible.

Can you confirm that the local buses were running that weekend?

 

[WillH]

Can you confirm that the local buses were running that weekend?

Yes, all day every day. They need the space to turn for the return trip.

the bus driver should just turn as normal wiping them out. Fault of the MH's as you can't have an "accident" with someone who shouldn't be there.

 

[WillH]

I know one of the drivers, I really hope he was driving a shift that day.

Tow truck....

How long to wait when there is someone in need of rescue at sea and the lifeboat cannot launch?

Somebody should have reported it soon after they parked.

i tried that line of defence when i pranged a lorry against a van that was illegally parked my boss was quite clear theat them being illegally parked doesnt mean you can rip the side out of there motor

FLT!

Its a swift ....brave man that parking a swift anywhere near water .

Maybe he parked it there to drain it down the slipway

 

[Otter Spotter]

I see he owns a swift but doesn’t trust it for a dry night so tows a folding trailer tent as a bedroom. Joking aside, I wonder what if anything happened after photo was take, did it get towed away,fined etc ?

When I worked our marshalling yard adjoined a railway station. When someone parked a car and it got in the way we would slide a pallet under it and use the forklift to shift it. Many puzzled passengers getting off the train later to find their car had mysteriously moved in their absence.

Yep i moved quite a few motors out the way using that method when I worked in the factories and warehousing
Another method if they had a towbar was one fork under the towbar lift a few inches of the ground and move it

Wasn't the steering lock sometimes a bit limiting on where you could put it?

My son told me about this on Saturday when the incident occurred. The lifeboat station have requested that they have barriers installed at the entrance, apparently crew asked the driver to move to enable them to launch the boat and they refused.

Unbelievable.

And then?

Similar situation once in Hull. I gridlocked the town centre, by refusing to attempt to "squeeze" btween a parked car and one Parked on Double yellow lines with a Blue badge. But boy was I Tempted to rip the hell out of the Blue Mercedes.

Reminds me of being in college doing part of my Marine Engineers Qualifications. I parked in a slot and this Dick who came in behind started to moan about it being "his" slot. I walked away and left him. Came back to go home at 4-30pm to find him parked behind me, blocking my exit. Across the road was the dry-dock where father worked, so I went over, told him what had happened. Whereupon he got the Yard` Fork truck and went over to remove this Mini, which he re-parked in gap between two Buildings Side ways on. It would have been impossible to remove any other way, I often wonder how he got it out again.

Unbelievable.

And then?

According to Ryan the car park is owned by the council so the RNLI cannot install a barrier on a council owned space, besides it wouldn’t have stopped the vehicle on the right. When Ryan wakes I will ask him what happened next.

It was the crew member who took the photo who blanked out the plates. Attached is an original copy of the photo sent to Ryan on Saturday at 12.26.
