Off the back of the City of Westminster’s poor attempts at parking properly, a subscriber to fnar, lets call him Disgruntled of Euston, sent me these pictures.
It’s a white van, parked on the street, I thought at first, but there were a couple of subtleties I picked up on. First was that the message with the picture said the white van man was a bit rude towards the pedestrian, who was carrying some shopping. Also, looking deeper, do you see the disabled sign?
Yes, it says Disabled badge holders only. Now, that one’s not rocket science to figure out. But dig deeper into the picture. There’s another thing that makes this audacious parking.
“This vehicle is either making a delivery or collection on behalf of DHL couriers. Please allow 20 minutes to load or unload before you isue a Penalty Charge Notice. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.”
So, besides a considerable disregard towards humanity, DHL have a special dispensation, where they can park wherever they like, and instruct leniency on the windscreen. Maybe you can try this too. Next time you park on a London street, just leave a cheeky note on the windscreen telling the Traffic Warden to allow 20 minutes before you get a ticket!
Cheeky bastards.
