For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

I didn’t think three cars is enough to create a gridlock, but what do I know. Yesterday three very ‘creative’ drivers managed just that right in front of me.

I wish I had a picture to share as it was that special. I don’t, so here is a schematic for your enjoyment, horror, disgust, or perhaps lols as the younglings like to say these days.

If this was 3 people who actually knew how to drive then the situation would have never occurred. Someone has pulled out into the path of traffic with nowhere to go, and the other 2 have decided to be petty instead of leave space or reverse and resolve the situation in 5 seconds.

Or #2 could reverse back behind the give way line and follow the Highway Code in future.

Edit: ok, assuming there was/is a give way line there and everyone is indicating correctly.
