Description "Sorry Sir.. this is a bus stop - even I cannot park here!!"
"Look, if you cannot find a gap anywhere - just park on a pedestrian crossing - or the pavement... all the locals do!!!"
This has been a very sad week (I am sure you all know why) and for many it has also been a very sad period...
So I thought I would have a little "fun" with fitting a caption to this "local" shot - I think the car driver was getting a warning about some minor driving offence / error... But in the end the policeman just rode off...
Hoping for better days ahead - especially for our dear friend

Interesting capture, Mal. Drivers everywhere are just nuts! It is funny to see this is a universal problem...and my husband loves driving in NYC. I think he wishes he had become a race car driver. Has me hanging on for dear life all the time.

I used to be a bit of a "boy racer" myself... but "age" seems to have caught up with me

Me too. My license plate used to day β€œWheeee”, because I used to say that while racing around in my younger days. What an idiot I was. Lucky to be alive!

Thanks Vin - I think there is a Global Competition going on... even the UK seems to have joined in - in the 13 years I have been out of the UK the driving standards have definitely deteriorated... although parking seems a little better than here still

Haha I've still heard that we have the worst standard of driving here in NZ! Β Lane drifting seems to be the new thing Mal!

Yes, I am seeing more of that too - maybe something to do with people being "preoccupied"... ? Or there is a "mind control" program being run by a rogue state?

New York City is 4 lanes of double parked cars, made a mistake of taking
my truck into Manhattan and will NEVER do that again....

Great photo Mal

Understood M - the streets of Lisbon can be quite narrow and winding - I am VERY careful where I take my (small) Jeep - especially as it has FWD so the steering lock has some limitations... still its easier to drive there than my old Mercedes Thanks for your complement Hal

You are very welcomeΒ 

I am very lucky, do not have to go to the city,Β 
our country roads are wide and have little traffic
in my small part of the world....

But your photo did bring back many memories of Life in the Fast Lane

What a situation to find yourself in - maybe he was asking for advice on the "process" from the car driver...?
