Just my luck... when I complain to someone about parking near a junction with "nice parking, you are blocking the junction...no bad language used" at short and busy 2 lane junction with double yellows in Belfast causing tailbacks they have a blue badge so legally they can if it's not within 15 meters... 🙄
He shouted that he "doesn't give a fuck what I think" which is clear as he's parked for maximum inconvenience*
I couldn't see the badge from behind. I shouted "ok you've a blue badge it's ok". More shouting followed. I said "you've a blue badge it's ok"
In hindsight it's a no win as he's also not allowed to half park on the kerb and half on the road so that people can get past. Ah well... Maybe I should nag the doe (it only takes 20 emails usually) to send wardens there's as this happens every day.
*It's legal though on double yellows with a badge if 15 meters away of a junction, so technically he's in the right. It's not clear if blocking only one lane us "holding up traffic" guess not... because anybody parking there causes tailbacks no room to swing a car and its full of buses...
No punching followed...I still judge h
