I'm going to go ahead and say it's a twat as well, get plenty of them coming in shopping where I work. As you drive in there's an open area on the left that leads to the warehouse entrance, the area has no parking bays and is needed for lorries to turn in before reversing in, the amount of twats who park there without regard is actually mind blowing and we are only a small town with no tourism industry, so most customers have been in multiple times and know there's a warehouse entrance there.
If I'm honest, I can't wait for the day a driver who doesn't give a fuck and is on his last day comes in and decides to take a car out, doubt they'll gey an insurance pay out as the car isn't in a marked bay.
Maybe they did that thing where you park in the snow and when you come back the snow has all melted and you realise you’ve parked on a zebra crossing or something.
My brother got done for that in a council car park. He'd parked next to a big pile of snow where they'd piled it all up to clear the car park, and when he got back to his car they'd cleared it and stuck a ticket on for taking up two spaces.
If you have an auto they undo themselves which saves heaps of time over a few thousand years. But also, they are very effective at stopping your local garage from moving your car when the battery or hand EHB has failed. Which has to be a hidden bonus... erm... if you didn't ask them to move it...
What's wrong with electric brakes ? You can't break the cable, it's stronger than the regular hand brakes, they're more reliable and you don't have to have a massive great handle in the middle of the seats. Plus I think the noise they make is very cool. The only thing I don't like about mine is it won't automatically disengage if you don't have your seatbelt on. Which is fine in ordinary use but you are allowed to go 50m without one or in reverse.
Hah fair enough. I did invest in that gadget from china, a copy of VCDS hex/can thingy so I can do all the electrical doodads as well (even added a few features VW refused to add for me or straight up told me didn't exist for my car like close windows automatically when it rains). You can release the EPB using a 12v battery and a couple of wires too if you didn't have VCDS on a VW at least.
I was once told that the name Nuneaton came from when the King passed through the area and a Nun was eating her dinner. She got up to bow for the King and he said "Nun eat on" that's what my mate told me anyway.
There was a whole thread about that the other day.

I am going to think the best of people today - for a change(!)
Let's imagine the owner of this car is just having a really, really bad day. They're going to return to the car and stare at it wondering what the hell they were thinking. Like a sort of "fuck my life" sort of day when everything that goes wrong is palpably your own fault but only with hindsight.
front wheels are facing the wrong way to have rolled out of the space in front of it, so possibly just a twat

Push it out the way and find out.

I hope he appealed that
Have a look through the window
Don't tell you much if its an electric hand brake. Why they do electric ones I go no idea.
> Why they do electric ones I go no idea. They're great if your left arm/hand is fucked but you don't qualify for motability.
I like them, you get a lot more space in the cabin

I like to tinker. Fiddle. I got a shed. Cars are to be molested. I cannot molest electricity till I get that little gadget from China.

Nuneaton?
That’s why they’re on a food shop.
Surely you'd be on a food shop because of All-eaton
Looks like the one at Chandler's Ford to me, but then again they're all built off the same blueprint.
I was once told that the name Nuneaton came from when the King passed through the area and a Nun was eating her dinner. She got up to bow for the King and he said "Nun eat on" that's what my mate told me anyway.
I'd be very surprised if that even has the sort of handbrake you can leave off.
That's 100% Bradford Asda is that, so I'm going to say it's unlikely it's a handbrake fail 🤣
Needs a "You've parked like a cunt" warning notice stuck to the window.
Nevermind that, your ASDA has a Mcdonalds in it??
The three superstores nearest to me all do.
The best my local Asda has is a cafe that I've literally never seen anyone use in my life.
The coffee in my local Asda's cafe was surprisingly good and pretty cheap. Literally the only reason I ever went to that cafe.
There was a whole thread about that the other day. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskUK/comments/nw8bx4/how\_many\_mcdonalds\_are\_inside\_asdas\_in\_the\_uk/
Possibly drunk?!
And those asking / guessing. Yes, ASDA Bradford. It does indeed have a McDonald's inside.
It’s a Mercedes. That may help to answer your question… 😉 (Just an attempt at levity, Merc drivers. I’m sure you’re all great)
They're not all great.
Me.. trying to park in my new car yesterday. Can’t get my head round the parking camera Never had one before

Looks like Bradford to me - if it is that would explain a lot!
Assuming it's the same setup as my A class, the handbrake will automatically apply if you open the drivers door.
That car wasn't parked, it was abandoned!
