You can't park there, mate

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.

Rules:

No deaths or serious injuries because who would be around to get told they couldn't park there?

What an absurd thing to say! In what world would anybody be driving so fast into a hedge while parking that a collision might result in death?

I was fully prepared to admit my mistake but what you described is not at all what is happening. One does not park at 60 mph+

I’m sorry, I didn’t read enough of the article to realize that it wasn’t people parking, but rather crashes on a road with too high a speed limit.

Your comment in that context is actually quite reasonable!

Haha, I didn’t read the article either until you commented— I just looked at the picture and estimated/assumed.

So I appreciate your comment, it made us both look a little closer!
