È la seconda volta che succede questo mese, anche se con auto diverse. Chiamato in tutte le case e il giovane proprietario della Clio viene mandato fuori da suo padre.
Gli ho chiesto se la Lexus era già lì quando ha parcheggiato e lui ha detto “sì”, quindi è lui quello che ha parcheggiato lì come un piccolo idiota ignorante. E’ un reato ai sensi della legge sulla circolazione stradale. Significa anche che i vigili del fuoco o l’ambulanza non possono passare.
Ho detto a suo padre che bisogna dirgli di non parcheggiare in quel modo, problemi con ambulanze/vigili del fuoco e che gli può essere applicata una sanzione fissa. Il padre ha appena detto “sì, glielo dirò, maledetti studenti”, il che solleva anche il problema che sta guidando da solo senza patente completa o targa L. Anche la sua tassa è scaduta da un mese.
Comunque. Sono stufo di ciò. Quindi ho inserito un rapporto sul sito del traffico di Garda (ma per esperienza richiede circa 8 mesi)
Qualcun altro ha problemi come questo e tu cosa hai fatto?

None of those are estates
What’s worse is most estates being built now has zero parking space outside the driveways. Now I don’t want the estate absolutely full of parking either if near the city but a few additional spaces wouldn’t kill anyone.
But yeah this is a bit idiotic from both cars imo the Lexus shouldn’t park know other cars would be parking ont he other side and the clip is the worst since he saw and would know nobody could fit past
I think you’ve done what you can there. Give them a chance to fix it but ultimately if they won’t you have to see if you can get it enforced.
Same issue in our estate, oblivious young wan we call “legally blonde”. Have said it to her a million times but she doesn’t get it / care because “Im parking outside my own house!” …Mind the road is fucking empty for the most part! She caused the bins not to be collected one week in the summer because of it.
Typical, and ironically while it’s not the case in your example, this is compounded by the ever growing scale of cars owned these days. The day of the super mini is gone, everyone has some sort of SUV be it truly an SUV or one that is pretending to be, they’re both pretty large
If it’s run by the council can they not just put a double yellow on one side of the road? Might resolve it.
It’s a nightmare as a learner driver. Super tight, have to be careful because the last thing you want is to dent your neighbour’s car, and worst of all people get veeeery comfortable driving close to home and will divebomb the gap like they’re Danii Kvyat and force you stop when you have right of way. Estates built in the 90’s weren’t designed for 2/3 cars per household, let alone everyone buing oversized SUVs.
Why did you report your neighbour to the Garda ? Kinda obvious it was you and only creates a bad name . You told them in person so surely give them a chance instead of going straight to the Garda?
stick it up on Trim Discussion Board and shame them!
Hope there isn’t a fire, the Fire brigade wont hang around for someone to shift it
We have people blocking part of our driveway. So car can’t get out or its very tight. We got a cone.
Called the garda who told us to call the council. Council showed up hours after we called to tow the car but it was gone.
It’s the delivery and bin lorries I feel sorry for. Our estates were built on the assumption of one car per house and that the drive would be used. Between adults at home and shared accommodation it’s common to see three/four vehicles.
How old does the Tesla need to be before we brand the owner a brown shirt?
Car-brained country
In my experience if you call DCC saying a car is causing a blockage on the road they be out pretty fast to lift it.
Plenty of space on the footpath to use 🤣🤣
I think this is pretty much the same across most housing estates, it’s even worse in the new build estates where driveways are big enough to hold 1.5 cars, and when every other house seems to have about 3 car, they just throw them everywhere.
But yeah, the awareness of some people never ceases to amaze me. I’m not sure what can be done. The residents will argue there’s nowhere for them to park, so what are they supposed to do. Should be double yellow lines along where that Lexus is anyway.
The problem with these estates is that they were built at a time when a house had one car per family.
Now houses have smaller families and/or grups of adults sharing.
So you could have a 4 bedroom with a couple in the master and 3 other people in the other rooms all with cars.
If you are living close to town it’s much worse.
For the people saying report to guards my question is why?
Those lazy bastards will do fuck all or tell you it’s a civil matter.
They are very good at finding reasons not to get involved.
I am reminded of Father Jack Hackett, “That would be an ecumenical matter” ever time I hear a cop say call the council or “It’s a civil matter”.
Jees you need to be something special to park like that without noticing the lack of space for other cars to pass through..😄
IMO the Lexus is parked like a knob. The gaps between spaces are usually fair game. There really should be a single or double yellow on the Lexus side.
Contact the Council, Fire Brigade and Ambulance service.
We had problems with commuter parking making the estate very hard to get in and out of. One email to the the three above mentioning that a Fire Appliance or Ambulance would not be able to get into the place in an emergency and we had double yellows on one side in three days.
Of course that’s if you want to go down that route.
I think the lexus is also technically in the wrong as it’s blocking the entrance across the road but honestly not sure. Either way stupid
