Report him - and if the Gardai aren't too bothered, name and shame him - there is a thread over on politics.ie with some nice pics of an FF candidate in Kilkenny who seems to be a serial inconsiderate parker, so you could add them onto that thread.I am not one for public transport, but going out tonight and not wanting to take the car, decided to bus it. Went to bus stop, there parked right beside the bus stop is a huge jeep belonging to our recently elected town councillor, complete with mugshot, contact details, etc.
The way he was parked would not leave enough room for the bus to pull into the bus stop which had been marked off and leave the bus on the road blocking traffic while people got on and off.
Anyway was annoyed so took a snap with my camera phone just as the gent happens to return to jeep. He saw me and approached me - I said it is not on to park at a bus stop, he says first "report me then" in a dismissive tone.
Then he obviously has second thoughts and thinks, maybe she will, so says there is an issue that there is no parking in the town and that I should report him so that some action might be taken!!!
I said that even so, he should be setting an example and he has no business breaking the law. People cant just park where they want because there is no parking. I also said we have had enough of politicians breaking the law and he was not taking that tack last week when he was out canvessing.
Just wondering - Is it actually illegal to park at a bus stop? It was one of those where it is cut out of the road with broken lines (kind of like a loading bay)?
I know it was not a hanging offence or anything, but did not like his attitude. Kind of like, I am elected now, I can do what I like. Sod the rest of you on public transport.
it badly affects bus operations, it prevents the use of middle doors
I thought all the middle doored buses were no more. I much preferred them to the fancy new fangled ones that they have now. Glad to hear that they're still being used!
I guess you're not using a wheelchair or pushing a buggy!I much preferred them to the fancy new fangled ones that they have now. Glad to hear that they're still being used!
What kind of phone do you have? Do you have a USB cable to go with it? If you're stuck, you can send the photo to me by text and I'll email it back to you.Just have to figure out how to get the photo from mobile phone onto computer!
I am just thinking about the incident now. He just kept starting at me - did not know if it was serious or a wind up!
