Illegal Car Parking....

Hey look what was spotted earlier!

In a hurry? Want to grab some lunch from Tesco metro? Can't be bothered to park your car away from the zig zags (and double yellow lines?)

That's fine! Just park right outside on the pedestrian crossing! (15 yards back there were spaces on either side of the road, I know because I was parked there)

I've doctored the number plate to protect the driver. Let's hope the local children who use this road remain safe from the motorist in a hurry.


Getting off my soap box now.


Here's the official line about Zig Zags in the Highway Code....


The Highway Code
Pedestrian crossings (191-199)
191

You MUST NOT park on a crossing or in the area covered by the zig-zag lines. You MUST NOT overtake the moving vehicle nearest the crossing or the vehicle nearest the crossing which has stopped to give way to pedestrians.
