Challenge for Cypriot Drivers!

Postby CBBB » Wed Apr 17, 2013 4:42 am

If anyone can meet this challenge, it will have to be a Cypriot!

Well known for our ability to park our cars anywhere, a local council in the UK has decided to raise the stakes!

I am sure one of us can rise to the task!

I will offer a beer to the first person to park their car on these double yellow lines!

. Yellow lines do not just apply to cars, but in this blinkered car orientated society other possible motorised vehicals which could use and be parked in that alley (and which would cause obstruction) have been overlooked.

If you read the associated story you will see it was a cock up by the contractors brought in to carry out the job!

Yes, but somebody in the roads and planning department must have given them the job order. Probably took months of planning and signature gathering. :)

Probably the contractor was a cousin, brother, uncle or what not :)

Maybe the lines were drawn before the two walls were built, a road closed off and building permits granted, the wall on the left looks fairly new
