Think this will help?* This will be printed off and placed under the
wipers of all the nutters who park on the wrong side of the road:

As a cyclist you should appreciate that bad parking is annoying.

You putting stuff under wipers isnt going to change anything

Short of pushing the car to the correct position, what would you
suggest?* The police have already told me it's "not a police
matter".* The council are lazy ****s who won't do anything.* When I
spoke to the guy in person, he just looked completely confused, he
wasn't intelligent enough to understand, I thought a simple diagram
might help him, or he can get his wife to explain.


I still don't see which is the correct side of the street to park. Is
it dictated by local custom and usage, or is it down to the first car
to park dictating which side?


First car to park obviously.* It works ok in most streets, particularly
ones that get completely full when everyone's at home.* If people parked
on the other side, someone would end up with nowhere to park and there'd
be arguments.* How difficult is it to park on the same side as another
car which is close to where you're parking?* I always manage it, it's
not rocket science.


And how do you know which car parked first to set your rule in effect?
