That's not an SUV... But yeah it looks like they backed up ONTO the curb, that's pretty rude...

That's not an SUV, it's a pickup truck.
See, my crippled ass is going to squeeze through anyway. Even if that means the metal clasps on my shoulder bag grind against the vehicle, or even if the attachment point for the strap on my cane happens to dig in if I happen to stumble because of the tight space.
Will that result in dents and scrapes? Absolutely. Do I care? Absolutely not.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard that you can call to get vehicles towed if they are blocking the sidewalk. I don’t know if that’s in every municipality, but I suspect the tow companies and the city would not mind the revenue.
So much of that in England. I get people don't want to block the road, but when you are sitting on the entire footpath so nobody can get passed. You're an asshole.
I was so cross when a van didn't bother to park just a few metres away in a designated parking spot to go to the corner shop and just decided to sit and block the entire pavement at a point to close to a hedge that meant we were forced to go out into the road.
Laziness. Just laziness.
Would be a shame if someone would squeeze between the trunk amd the wall....while not caring about any metal piece sticking out
It might as well be a hatchback towing a box of dildos for all the times that tiny truck bed will be used for anything that looks like work.
Blocking sidewalks anywhere is a shitty move. If you can’t park without blocking the sidewalk, you shouldn’t park there. This includes your own driveway
While trucks are complete nonsense to have for 9/10 owners, sometimes it's choosing between two evils. Either park it like this, or have it stick out this far at the front, blocking traffic flow.
Instead of being infuriated by the way it's parked, we should be just because it's a truck that Is useless to have, especially in the Netherlands.
Block the flow of traffic. Vehicle traffic has predefined rules to deal with this and it happens all the time. Now you're forcing pedestrians to go onto the road creating a safety hazard. Strollers, like with OP, or disabled people or really you name it are severely disadvantaged by this, just because this person needed a gigantic car thought vehicle traffic was more important than pedestrians.
I mean, the answer is "Your vehicle is too large to park here." It's one of the reasons I drive a smaller car, parking is a bitch where I'm from and I'd hate passing up spots because I can't fit.
Where is the SUV though?
Extremely annoying when it's done so often, cars just love intruding every little space they can.
Ow damn. Weird seeing my city and a car that I know. The owner lives in my apartment complex. There are some 'main character'-parking-toddlers living at my place that get my blood boiling every time they try to redefine the lines on the parking lot.
If you try it, watch your shin on that ball hitch.
What would be the most effective way to handle this without violating the law?
I live in México. I don't care about laws when it comes to fucking dumbasses like these.
