This is Regent Close where Torquay Depot is situated. The car on the pavement in the two photos does not belong to a driver. At least I hope it doesn't. The two photos were taken 16 days apart and at first glance it would appear that the car has not moved. But look closely and you will see it has. It's pretty consistent parking, even if it is crap parking.

I know it gives great satisfaction to 'name and shame' bad parkers (there is even a group of Flickr devoted to this) but wouldn't it be fair to at least pixelate the number plates?
the lastthree leters some up what the person parking is nuff said
Typicla, its probably some little old lady whos been given the car as a birthday present or won it on price is right. In cambridge we have a very small multistory carpark with tight turns on and off the ramps, you can just squeeze a big saloon or a toyota RAV up there. Some old guy goes in in a big volvo XC90 4X4 and has to reverse to get it up each ramp, then pulls into a tiny parking space when the next floor is empty! He couldnt park it in the space very well either as I saw him having to squeeze through the door!
There is a Fiat Panda in our close that consistently parks 3ft from the kerb
We had a friend who used to abandon her car in the vicinity of the kerb at various angles. When she died earlier this year I hoped that the undertakers would place the coffin in a skewed position in the church. Sadly (or perhaps fortunately) they didn't.
I knew an elderly titled lady (sadly no longer with us) who had a huge Jag which she rarely drove. If she drove it into the Market Place she quite simply would just STOP and leave it where it was. This was still in the 20th Century (so might not happen now) but no-one in authority ever had the temerity to challenge her Ladyship!
This was in the Yorkshire Dales (or The Land that Time Forgot).
