I reported this including the license plate, location, photo and date. Driver will get a nice ticket

Must be nice living in a country where cars aren't glorified.

Wow, there would be action? I’ve been thinking about doing this but police never follow up on things like that where I live

One of the busier streets near me has no street parking. I frequently see a car parked covering the entire sidewalk (and there’s no grass strip separating sidewalk from road), despite all the surrounding houses having driveway spaces open and there being a public lot at a park fairly close. The thing is there’s a hill running down to the sidewalk, so you really don’t have a stable place to walk. Every time I walk around on that hill or consider walking around in traffic, I’m just really frustrated at how much one narcissistic Parker impacts all the pedestrians attempting to walk by. And this is near a public park and an elementary school, so fairly busy

I try to do the same in my city but it's usually cops themselves that are parked on the sidewalk. I've seen people push strollers down the street because of them.

Of course it's a Land Rover. Owners of these makes, along with BWM, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche are amongst the worse sociopathic drivers out there.

I dunno know why it's almost always these guys. Maybe it has something to do with the kind of people who seek prestige over anything else and will do whatever it takes to get it.

Increasingly, yeah.

Dude, you don't buy a Range Rover to park in puny parking spots, it has AWD for a reason

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

it has AWD for a reason

To make towing it more expensive?

Wait, this is a community?

Oh boy, I'll have lots of material to share

Seems like a good way to get the shit keyed out of your rover.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You may not be likely to be caught, but please remember the cost of that damage approaches felony territory very quickly, and there are cameras everywhere. It’s just not worth it.

That would be a big glop of spit at the bare minimum. Fucking wanker.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Oh no, how are my keys suddenly in my hand while I pass this shitty SUV, I hope I don't accidentally scratch the paint
