[QUOTE="vvv, post: 5592552, member: 63825"] I'm not from the area nor have any idea what signage is posted in regards to that street. But I can only assume "NO PARKING" signs are posted on that road. And as some have mentioned and not that would have helped the speeding idiot, but he had no flashers on. Furthermore his parking position absolutely sucks because if that side street allows traffic coming in his direction and someone needs to make a right turn around his back end he is parked WAY TOO CLOSE to the corner and therefore putting them in harms way of oncoming traffic as well. Passenger car driver takes on majority of responsibility for simply being a fool.....but don't think for a minute that the UPS driver doesn't take on a percentage of responsibility in the "court" of Brown Cafe, his managers office, and most impotantly the actual court of law. If there are "NO PAKING" signs on that road he's definitely gonna catch some flak. First thing a greedy lawyer would check for is if NO PARKING is posted. "Yes your honor, my client was speeding and reckless, but if that truck wasn't parked there he would have likely had time and space to straighten out his vehicle without impacting an illegally parked truck".....or something to that effect. You guys all think I'm talking crap over the years when I keep hammering away on your actions out on route as far as truck handling and parking placement, it's what I constantly talk about. I'm not blowing smoke when I tell you I'll walk off an envelope a solid block long or more until I find proper parking. Sups won't say anything to you and turn the other way because you are saving them many many minutes day after day until THIS happens. But nobody thinks it'll happen to them just like this driver assumed. Well.....guess what happened. Don't let THIS be YOU. Take a long walk back n forth and sing a song, whistle, bird watch.....check out hot chicks in the neighborhood. Your boss CAN NOT say anything about you working safe and obeying the law, but they CAN have a lot to say if you are illegally parked and an incident such as this takes place. Wake up boys & girls, take yourself out of the equation and play it safe ALWAYS!!!! [/QUOTE]
