Can i park

[white van ma]

I park my car on the corner of a street, there are double gates facing my car where caravans come out & every time a caravan comes in or out i have to move my car, they are now saying it is illegal to park on a corner of the street, Can i still park there without fear of being booked.
I know it would be easier to move my car but there is nowhere to put it.

So who hasn't read his Highway Code lately, then? ;-)

Vehicles should not be parked within 10 metres of any junction. Doing so renders the owner liable to criminal prosecution for causing an obstruction. (I've actually seen traffic wardens, in Clacton, using tape measures to check the distance of vehicles from junctions before issuing 'tickets', so it's no idle threat!).

Wow, its like Bizzaro World.

A year ago it was your caravan being obstructed by cars parked opposite the gates.

It's really not allowed to park on the corner of the street. Most corners have double yellow lines to stop people parking - i'm surprised yours doesn't!

Ha ha ha last year nobody answered my question BUT they have when i put the boot on the other foot so thanks for that. The best sight in the world is; WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR & SEE A LINE OF CARS AT THE BACK OF ME lol

I'm sure that those who answered your previous thread will be greatly pleased by your describing them as nobodies!
