I wonder if the insurance company can refuse to pay out since she was parked ilegaly? Those people that pakri legaly outside bus stop cause so much problems.

Earlier discussion along these lines suggests that a minor offence of this sort does not invalidate insurance.

It can't possibly invalidate insurance.

What was the bus driver doing? He took out the bus stop as well as the Porsche.

The other car driver waiting patiently also got clipped.

I think this is a situation where the video will save several thousand words.

What an ignorant and selfish piece of parking.

On the pavement, facing the wrong way, with bus stops all around

It's a busy street and she impeded every car - the video shows a Toyota braking - coming towards her.

All because the lady can't be bothered to walk more than three metres to a cashpoint.

The bus driver has done all reasonable drivers in Richmond a favour if this has taught her a lesson.

In the video it says that they did, but subsequently quashed it.
