Viridor Recycling breaking the law and endangering road users by parking their van illegally and unsafely in the contraflow cycle lane.

LL04 GYA (rather grubby reg plate but that's the joy of long-distance typefaces): the driver who overtook me because I was obeying the law ([1] and [2] --> [3]). He subsequently blocked the box junction but traffic was still able to flow, a ... [more]

V493 LHR parked (note: no driver) half in a mandatory cycle lane on Kings Hedges Road, Cambridge and half on said road's pavement. Location approximate.
Cambridge Blue Sandwiches van unloading illegally and inconsiderately. No wonder Cambridgeshire County Council spends £3m on repairing pavements due to people driving on them. (Driving on pavements is an offence.)

How many laws can you break at once? Cambridge Steak House unload on cycle lane, 1m from ped crossing, in yellow-dashes area (loading bay 15m away)

HV07 FPA, of the Saint Andrews Bureau; vehicle parked illegally… half on kerb, half in contraflow mandatory cycle lane.
BT55 UCN ... pavement-ing and MCL-irising. Nice of the driver to irritate both cyclists and pedestrians just so that his/her vehicle was out of the way of westbound traffic(!) Location approximate.
T373 KNW parked in the Bateman Street contraflow cycle lane. Also the K on that number plate is bothering my perfectionism; has it been doctored? Location approximate.
Pretty inconsiderate parking; the driver was in the shop to the immediate left of frame—I believe it's a Pizza Express. There are legal parking spaces available on Park Terrace; these are 'pay and display' between 08:30 and 18:30 (source: ... [more]
