Reverse Parking Nightmare

It has come to my attention that a certain large energy supplier has told its staff that they must reverse into their parking bays when they arrive at the office. Although this diktat has been issued under the guise of health and safety, the Health and Safety Executive and RoSPA do not seem to agree.

You have to say that although not a major problem for most of us, this peculiar rule will inevitably mean that some employees will have to arrive a good hour earlier. People like this…

Yes, apparently it’s safer…

Our tip, if you work for the company concerned, make sure you have a rock solid car insurance policy!

Dumb Parking

If you are seriously, awfully bad at parking you’d better watch out, because Crap-Parking.co.uk has its beady eyes on you.

If you’re a selfish idiot and think you can park where you like and balls to everyone else, then this site is here to expose you. Anyone can park the car a little bit badly, and I expect we’ve all parked a bit further from the kerb than we’d have liked, or strayed an inch into the next space and said to ourselves “That’ll do.”

These selfish muppets, on the other hand have absolutely zero consideration, and presumably a matching amount of shame, as they brazenly park their cars like this:

bad parking on a junction

parked in two spaces

blocked exit dumb parking

So next time you see someone parking in a seriously dumb way, why not take a photo with your mobile and send it in, so at least they can be mercilessly mocked.

And how about this:

smart on its ar*e

This not-so-smart parking warden’s Smart car is equipped with a retractable, 15 foot high spy camera, ready to take pictures of parking offences in the NCP car park. Unfortunately, the dumb driver forgot to retract the camera when he left the car park, caught it on the barrier, and before you could say cheese, he was the one caught on camera…

By the way, this post is the 200th post on the Fluxposure blog. I hope everyone is still enjoying it. Your comments are always welcome, and I’m certainly looking forward to writing the next couple of hundred – if you can bear it.

How not to exit a car park

This is a perfect demonstration of how not to drive if you want to keep your no-claims bonus intact. If you’re going to do this, perhaps you should check for CCTV cameras first, as the police will have no trouble tracking you down if you put on a show like this…

And, oh yes, it’s a woman! If anyone has a video of a man behaving this badly in a car, please, please, please send it to me.

Easier Parking

This is one way to make parking easier.

This is obviously a US car, but we reckon we could cover a similar mod in the UK.
