Mildly infuriating to see the car suffering from having to park crooked like this
Serious question. Does this cause problems somehow?
OP is c/mildlykaren
I didn't understand what was the issue till I read the comments
Not a single sidewalk is built to last the weight of a car. They are build as cheap as possible (sand bed + stones), because they are not supposed to get exposed to heavy loads. That's why they are often in bad conditions, they usually don't even have tree root protection, so they get regularly misformed from below and above
Definitely not for the sidewalk. I found it mildly infuriating for the car to have the rear axis be crooked. But maybe that’s just handled by suspension and not an issue at all. But it looks unpleasant for the car to park like that.
Wtf people... Finally a post that is actually mildly infuriating and OP is getting shit on for not being infuriating enough!
This post is doubly mildly infuriating, so I'm going to log in with my alt and upvoted twice.
Embarrassing for them? Sure. But, I don't know why this would upset anyone.
I fail to see the problem. There's clearly enough sidewalk to get by, even on a wheelchair.
I think the emphasis here is on "mildly."
So as long as a wheelchair can squeak by a car can park on the sidewalk? Is this true or parking spaces so I can park 6" from your driver side door? What about in front of your driveway? You can get out if you drive on the grass. I'm just making sure I understand your stance on using non-roadways to park.
Dude chill the golf is on the "sidewalk" by like an inch this doesn't hurt anyone except for maybe the tires of the car
Yeah, if anything it's financial self-harm.
I mean like only a few less miles on those tires but sure
I bet OP is from the US. In Europe people park their cars anywhere they fit, on any side of the road or sidewalk. So many of their cities were built before personal cars became a thing, after all.
I haven't been in all of Europe but that's absolutely not the case everywhere (if anywhere idk).
Here, parking on the sidewalk is prohibited and a fine is around 110€. The parking in the image is technically illegal, but I don't know if it would be fined in practice.
Funnily enough I read this article recently: How Neighbors Got NYPD to Stop Parking on a School Sidewalk After 40 Years
Where is "here" for you? I totally understand how it can vary by country. I was most recently in the UK, and I saw cars parked anywhere they could fit.
In the Nordic.
Europe is a big and diverse region. One can't make these claims on an anecdote from just a single European country.
Saying "EU" instead of "Europe" would narrow it down quite a bit but often not enough.
Fair enough. Every country is different, as you correctly note.
It's only illegal in the UK in London (wierd exception, imo). On other places it's down to local byelaws (our local council states that a car must allow enough space for a wheelchair to pass for example, although it's rarely enforced).
This is in Europe, but the mildly infuriating part isn’t about the sidewalk, it’s about the car being crooked. If it were US these would probably all be SUVs.
That VW Golf is absolutely massive, was the selling point for these not on the basis that they're supposed to be compact and small? 😳
If this bugs you, you should live in my city, you'd explode. They park on children and old people. They even park dog puppies to death. They're the worst. They park the world to it's end.
Call me a purist, but no curb, no sidewalk
That’s the curb, it‘s not entirely clear in the picture. It’s mildly infuriating for the car the be standing crooked like that.
It's bad parking but by far the worst.
It might be mildly infuriating for the owner of the car if they do it repeatedly. Isn’t this bad for your car’s suspension?
Yeah that’s what I mean by mildly infuriating. I think many people took it for the sidewalk being smaller which certainly isn’t an issue here ^^
It's not bad if they go at it at a certain angle at a low speed
You must be fun at…well, never I guess?
I‘m talking about the car‘s perspective, not the sidewalk being an inch smaller if that’s what you meant
