I know there are some people who genuinely have a bad situation when it comes to parking but personally I'd be all for a ban on pavement parking and even significant restrictions on parking on major through roads.
Several roads I do a lot are a nightmare for both pedestrians and traffic due to people parking half on the pavement outside their houses, impacting visibility around a bend as well and in at least one of those cases I know from someone who lives there every single house has their own garage and parking spot at the bottom of their garden, generally unused, as well as an allocated parking spot in a private car-park nearby - with many of the residents renting out their car-park spot instead of using it themselves. The funny thing is whenever there are roadworks which prevent them using the road for parking the residents kick off on social media about the roadworks inflicting on them the exact same issues they are happy inflicting on everyone else...
I've noticed that terrible parking seems to have become a lot more prevalent over the last few years, rows of cars on narrow roads right up to a T junction which both blocks visibility to people exiting the junction and causes massive problems if someone is turning in to the junction at the same time as someone is trying to exit.
People who park right opposite junctions on narrow roads, making it extremely difficult to make the turn.
The 2 above combined are an absolute nightmare - there's a road near me with really poor visibility into the junction, it's an extremely tight bend, narrow road, traffic calming which narrows it to a single lane in a couple of places, and there's almost always some stupid inbred **** who parks right opposite the junction, which essentially means if there's a car coming
out of the junction, one of you is going to have to reverse several car lengths back down the road until there's a spot wide enough to pass.
People parking big transit type vans & SUVs on the pavement right on the junction, so you literally can't see what's coming until you've already pulled out a meter into the main road.
People who just stop their car about a meter from the kerb and consider it "parked".
Let's not forget the geniuses who park directly opposite a junction at the bottom of a hill when it's likely to snow, and then whinge like a little female dog because someone slid into their car.
People wonder why your insurance goes up if your car gets hit even if it was "parked" and you weren't in it? Well, see above. Parking like a ***** nonce has consequences (not nearly often enough unfortunately).
More and more people seem to think the human race has developed physic abilities, thus rendering their use of the indicator pointless.
That's the only reason I can think why I see so many people not expend the huge amounts of energy required to flick an indicator stalk and make other drivers aware which way they are intending to go.
Most people are so thick they don't even realise they are causing delays to themselves. The entrance to our local supermarket is pretty tight, so it's difficult to make the turn if there's a car waiting to pull out. If you don't indicate to turn in, that car is going to wait for you to pass, meaning you will both need to carefully & slowly manoeuvre your way around the junction rather than them being able to pull out while you are still a distance away, and then for you to easily turn in.
- I see a handful of others doing the same but thankfully not everyone has tagged onto such sneakery
