Reddit Plea Over Corner‑Parked Lifted Truck Draws Safety Calls, No Official Response

Readers urge a check of local parking rules with reports directed to non‑emergency police.

Overview

  • An anonymous poster says a neighbour left an old lifted truck with a 'for sale, £17,000' sign on a street corner, creating a blind spot and near‑miss incidents.
  • The resident reports that the owner bought a new lifted vehicle about six months ago and has refused to move the old one despite complaints in a community Facebook group.
  • Commenters recommend reviewing municipal sightline and setback rules before reporting the situation as a safety hazard to local authorities.
  • Some responses caution that the vehicle could be legally parked even if it obstructs visibility, which might limit what enforcement can do.
  • Coverage by the Daily Mirror and Daily Record highlights the online dispute, with no confirmed action by police or the vehicle’s owner as of Oct. 2, 2025.
