12 February (Part 2) - Will they ever learn?
I
never cease to be amazed by the way motorists park, says I so cautious that I
have never had a parking ticket in very nearly 60 years of driving.
In Wilton Road, in the bit nearest to Abbey Wood station, there is near constant
pavement parking and yesterday someone had parked right in the middle of the
dual five minute bay. (Photo 3.)
A lady squeezed in behind and reversed right into the space which may be
reserved for a tree - around 20 were promised and if we are lucky we will get
two - such that her back wheel sunk deeply into the soil and the kerb threatened
to squash her catalytic converter.
I had my camera with me but thought it best not to risk creating a scene.
Abbey Wood drivers also appear to have no concept of the term Restricted Parking
ZONE. They are still parking within it and where there are no road markings all day.
Very soon they will be making a massive contribution towards subsidising my Council Tax.
