Not defending the BMW driver (and never would) but as a fellow cyclist I can't see how you can defend cycling in this position as reasonable "taking the lane."
You're cycling in the middle of the road as soon as you set off from the lights! Pull over to the left and allow the traffic to pass! You were asking for a reaction from holding up the driver behind. Idiot.
YP56 OTA's parking looks fine to me
The C3 looks like it's parked on the piss
Don't really understand WTF this thread is about except some 90+ pensioner (maybe younger but just acts senile) is having a rant that a car door might have knocked another car. Accidents happen that's why insurance is a requirement to drive.
And yes it would be foolish to claim insurance damage especially on low cost/oldish vehicles
Suggestion...get a life and post something worthy of criticism
Look at the cheeck of him , he shouldn't be parked properly in the middle of the bay like that he should have parked all the way over to the left .
If he needed an example he should look at the citreon next to him , and as a bonus the driver of the 107 next to it can get some well needed excersisce by climbing in the passenger side and climbing over the gear stick .
