Parking mad
Regarding the letter about a Penalty Charge Notice for a vehicle not parking according to the required order. What is not mentioned is that selfishly parking over another bay removes that bay from use by another car. An increasingly common selfish attitude that excludes an amenity to another road user should not be rewarded nor encouraged.

You are referring to the reader who parked in a "virtually empty" station carpark on a “Sunday”, then returned to his car, still in a "virtually empty" station carpark, to find a ticket on it? Precisely how was this reader "removing that bay from use by another car" that could have parked anywhere in the "virtually empty" carpark? What idiot would choose to squeeze his car into a space partially occupied
by another car when the rest of the carpark was "virtually empty"?
by another car when the rest of the carpark was "virtually empty"?
