Today is....

Today is...the first day that fortwos can be legally parked 90 degrees to the traffic flow arse in to the kerb. (No requirement to display tax disc at pavement as of today).

Are the two linked?

I believe the prerequisite for parking nose in is side reflectors. If you park nose in, the tax disc would be very viewable from the kerb. Legally you have to be inside the parking bay and the normal size is 2.4 meters wide so a smart would poke out by about 10cm so it wouldn't be legal.

I'd forgotten about the reflectors.

In my neck of the woods that would go unnoticed - parked between the Audi Q thisess and Q thats that themselves are 10'' from the kerb. I sometimes question which kerb they were aiming to park against.

One of my neighbours parks, no sorry that's the wrong word ? Abandons their Ford Ka a minimum of 1m from the pavement

People actually slow down because they think someone must be driving the car

I will try to get a picture
