Edited for Accuracy.

Next time you take your kids to school call in and ask them to learn you some manners. Its fairly obvious you have got o levels in rudeness, there is no call for it. I put it down to the education system its clear that your teachers at school did not go a bundle on job satisfaction.

1] Eh? It is my own as far as I'm concerned. Opinions, welcome to hold em and share em, but in this case I'm siding with the LAW. Incidentally, in my experience of living near schools, private education suffers it worse. QEGS etc was a nightmare to live near. Then again, that's a different debate.

2] No real experience of traffic management, no, other than 6 months in a consult civil engineers' office which specialised in traffic design systems. Admittedly, I had the Quadrophenia post boy job, but it taught me that even the experts struggle. That's why I'd happily defer to the LAW (see 1)

3] Enough now. Got to go to bed. Up early you see, I find beating the traffic and getting a nice space in a perfectly legal car park solves all the problems.

they think they make room for cars to pass and forgot about pedestrians, blocking drives is just ignorant

Ok guys - considered just closing this one, but there is some 'interesting' debate - if only you can keep the insults out. One more and it's gone - and you run the risk of taking a rest.

I'm sure you can continue - minus the silly stuff!

Is it still raining?

no but I'm ready

Discrestion I agree with but schools generally get a warning about parking after complaints parents are informed if they dont heed the warning then suffer the consequences, they should use their discretion and heed the warnings thats my point pal.

Are you in some way doubting that parking at the side of someone's drive obscures their view? This is especially dangerous at busy times of the day like say the school run.

Top entertainment!

Hmmm...people who are sensible about the issue or selfish buggers who want to park where they like, when they like?

I can see all points of view and I understand that peoples time is minimal. I have two kids under six both at school and it is hard work managing a 40 hour working week with school runs and so forth.

How ever the majority of parking issues just need people to be sensible.

On another note have a look at the stats of child abductions vs children killed in car accidents. Its no contest.

If companies were a little more helpful then all this could be irradicated. If they allowed people with kids to start a bit later parents could walk the kids to school and return home for their cars to go to work.

There are lots of issues with simple solutions. Its just getting people to understand the needs of a modern parent and helping.

Any rudeness I susequently appologise for.

I have valid points but due to stress relating to today I got a little aggressive.

Sorry

I would have to disagree. You seem to think you can park where and when you like and if anyone complains or takes action they are either a 'jobsworth' or 'causing trouble'.

State where I say I can park where or when I like?

I park as safely as possibly, never block drives, never park on yellow chevrons, I have put wheels on the pavement as the road would be unpassable if I, and the opposing car didnt, whilst making sure there is room for pedestrians and pushchairs to get by. I dont now because of parking ticket threats and its chaos with horns blowing, mirrors almost clashing, kids and parents never sure when to cross the road. Basically got worse for the police involvement.

But hey you are correct. Im wrong


Logic and common sense is not an option for you

You are in some strange way trying to blame residents and the police for the parking/traffic problems round a school. Now lets talk about common sense and logic...
