OP you've got a big white mark covering your numberplate surely you don't need to worry about bus lane cameras?
Blocked in, what do?
- Thread starter Russinating
- Start date
Or send the photos to the council and say you was blocked in.
Then watch them laugh at you for lacking skill.
This has me in stitches
an hour of OP scratching his head over this!I just checked google maps, even if you couldn't get out there (Although it looks like you can) why on earth wouldn't you just drive forwards???
This has to be trolling.
I don't get why everything has to be deemed as 'trolling' these days.
To give the OP benefit of the doubt and I know everyone likes to think they are Michael Schumacher behind the wheel, the angle of that pic probably makes it look like he can reverse out easily, but if that 4x4 is parked fully or even 70% behind him, he won't be getting out of that spot, as he'll hit the car to his side.
and unless it was a life and death situation I know I wouldn't risk getting an £80 fine and drive over a bus lane.
Any updates OP?

Take plates off (if theres even a camera on it), exit via bus lane. That's what I'd do. But then, I'm a rebel
You don't even need to drive down the bus lane, you can cross it straight on to the road.
Just make sure nothing is coming and check the camera position (if there even is one) and Robert's your fathers, brother.

Yeah back in the office. Person who owned the Audi to the right was found by the hotel and they moved out so I could turn in the spaces.
Otherwise was impossible - had a classic builder type see me out beforehand - just got wedged at an angle and had to do a 20 point turn to get back in the space again.
I do normally reverse in but I was working and had a load of kit in the back that I needed to unload.
Hope the moron and the van in front of him still get a ticket/towed.
To be fair, driving out over the pavement probably would have been doable, just didn't think of it at the time. Oh and the hour wasn't just spend doddling, I was on the phone to the council twice and in the hotel (where I was working) and nearby offices trying to see if it belonged to anyone there. Judging my the type of car and the state/contents of its inside I think it was a builder or workman at one of the many nearby building sites there.

The final conclusion!
OP should have been able to get out out of that, may have taken a few turns of the wheel but I do see a lot of people who don't like doing that. Straight forward would have been the best bet, Chelsea tractor after all.
Andi.
