Another taxi, ***,*** turned into the parking space in front of me while I was parked at the coop,too fast and too close, I have a broken indicator cover and a dent in my offside wing.
She has a crease all down 2 doors and rear nearside wing, I can fix mine myself, god knows what hers will cost, serves her ***** right.
Moral, if your going to drive like an idiot, don't **** with large LDV vans.

Thank you very much to the selfish cow who saw me waiting for her to finish putting the valve caps back on her tyres so I could use the air pressure gauge at Asda but then drove off without bothering to let me know that the machine was broken and swallowing cash. Whatever happened to common courtesy?

Congratulations once again to the selfish clowns at Randles Peugeot and Suzuki.
This time they parked one of their transporters on double yellow lines outside Peugeot where there are two lanes: one going straight on, the other the filter turn right into Tesco. So today all the traffic going into town on the Newport Road at RUSH HOUR was forced to use the Tesco filter lane, with cars wishing to turn into Tesco unwittingly causing chaos to the majority who wanted to go straight on.
Well done Randles, you show complete and utter contempt for the community you wish to sell cars to. I can only hope that it is causing damage to your business, as that is what you deserve.

Not really knowing any of the ins-and-outs of the situation, I suspect that there are many decision-makers involved, most of whom aren't directly affected by actually being there. The driver will, presumably be told when to arrive, by his supervision, and just has to make the best of it..

But Randles know this is an issue and seemingly couldn't care less about it. Yes the driver is to blame for stopping illegally, but at the end of the day Randles are perfectly capable of arranging different delivery times or finding a suitable location for the delivery to take place where they will not cause traffic chaos.

Glad it wasn't just me that was held up by this inconsideration (is that a word?)....

Contender for this weeks champion.
Coming to Stafford from Eccy yesterday morning, just the Stafford side of Walton Hall School. I came round the bend to find a Citroen people carrier on it's side blocking the road. One other vehicle in front of me had already stopped. As I approached 'phone in hand summoning the police, a couple of folks coming from Stafford direction hsd stopped and were helping the driver clamber out of the passenger door. As soon as he was out he suggested that, between them, they could probably rock the vehicle back on to it's wheels. As soon as it was righted, he was in and gone back the way he'd came towards Eccy, despite substantial damage to the vehicle. Leaving debris all over the road. The police arrived shortly afterwards and whilst speaking to the officer he told me that they had just had a report of a further accident about a mile up the road. Guessing it could well have been the same guy. Drunk? Concussed? Or coincidentally an entirely unrelated incident. Who knows? Hope no-one was injured in the second accident.

Tuesday evening and the traffic lights on Beaconside for Sandon Road don't seem to exist in this lorry driver's world. Think I would be nursing a sore rear end had I stopped in the lane to go straight on!

Yesterday morning, not in Stafford, A500 Stoke-on-Trent, but I think it's worth a post.
Mirror, indicate, manoeuvre. Or not, as the case may be! I'm usually prepared for a move like this, it's not the first time it's happened along here.

Nobody indicates in Stoke. The orange lights are for turning on when you're stopped on double yellows.

How true that is!

In fairness it would require them to understand the difference between left and right, so would be meaningless anyway.

I was once a back seat passenger in a vehicle driven by a Stokie, going North on the A34 to Hanford island. We were in the left-hand of the three lanes on the entry to the island. The chap next to me whispered "He should be turning right here" - "Don't worry, he will", I replied - and he did, with no signal either.

I have witnessed some poor parking in my time, but tonight was something else! Came out of Asda and headed back to my car only to find I couldn't get in it! Some idiot of a driver thought it perfectly acceptable to park right up against my car - our wing mirrors almost touching. I did wait around for a while in the hope I may catch the culprit but gave up and ended up climbing over the passenger seat!

There is a 'specialist website' where people can upload photographs of poor parking, as you suffered tonight. It can help to unload some of your anger at being a victim.
Be warned that the site has a very naughty name, so I can't even put the link on here directly, and the rather extreme language may not be to everybody's taste. If you are prepared to take the chance of the most offensive commentary on parking habits of idiots that you are ever likely to read then click here - if not, then don't click that link.

When talk was talked of a dark and mysterious car, with police escort, parked at the hospital earlier, i wondered whether it might be the Health Secretary himself?
