Parking Critique
« on: August 27, 2023, 08:53:20 AM »

Dutch Grand Prix today. Do you think this fellow was behind schedule, incompetant or trying to protect his Aston Martin Vantage from the peasants' car doors?

Parking ticket, yes or no?

I'm OK with this.  He's not blocking any extra spaces, he's just trying to protect his expensive car.

Fair point Mr. Sparky. No pedestrians walk along that side  :old:

Im a "follow the rules" kind of guy when it comes to the roads. Id give him a ticket, and if there is history, tow it and have it impounded. Just because you own an expensive car doesnt mean you can break the rules.

Can you point to the line that he's crossed?

In Holland blatantly parking on the curb is usually an automatic ticket.

Says online the Vantage has a "bonded-aluminium platform". Don't know if that means an all-alloy bodyshell.

Some of your Ford pickup trucks are alloy, right?

Taking in the consideration Aston has Belgian plates, I'd say it's very well and neatly parked. Lived there 15 years and saw masterpieces which cross the borders of imagination.

Meh, he ain't hurtin nothin.... people these days have a hard time controlling their car doors, especially if kids are opening them. I don't blame him.
