Is this the UK's worst parked car? Police stunned at 'unorthodox' parking

Parking doesn't get much worse than this. Even seen-it-all-before police traffic officers were stunned to see this 'unorthodox' parking display in Bristol.

The Avon and Somerset Police Roads Policing Unit found the car unattended in Silverthorne Lane, to the east of the city centre, Bristol Live reports. They uploaded an image onto their twitter page in which the rear wheels of the car are precariously balanced on the edge of two kerbs.

The section of road ends as it goes under a railway bridge with a sign saying no entry for motorbikes and cars. Bollards and double yellow lines are also at the entrance to the underpass.

Writing on twitter, officers said: "Vehicle located overnight, unattended... enquiries ongoing to identify driver and to discuss their unorthodox parking methods.

"Clue, the sign does NOT mean anything about flying vehicles!"

A number of people replied to the post, @ActiveTravelNet said: "Can you not get this vehicle moved, and the driver fined?"

And @owestenken wrote: "First, undeniably c**p driving, but good God can you get the council to sort that sign?! Red ring means 'no', not sure what white ring means!"
