Drivers stunned as car is left on ZEBRA CROSSING at Lidl despite car park being empty

DRIVERS were left stunned after a car was left on a zebra crossing at Lidl – despite the car park being empty.

Motorists couldn’t believe their eyes on Sunday when they spotted the wee car blocking a pedestrian crossing outside the Hamstead store near Birmingham.

Local resident Mike Mackin snapped a photo of the Vauxhall Astra because he couldn’t comprehend the choice of parking – especially because there were so many empty bays around Lidl.

Mike then posted a photo of the bizarre parking to social media.

He told BirminghamLive: “I was just stunned that someone would park there as there was lots of spaces available.

“It was on a Sunday so it’s empty and never ever full.”

The news came just days after a council released photos of the worst parking attempts in Birmingham.

One showed a Honda Jazz that had been squeezed between bollards and abandoned on a pavement blocking it for pedestrians.

Another showed a silver Ford Fiesta parked in front of a charity shop door, blocking it and forcing the shop to shut.

And, there was one photo that showed a Volkswagen Golf left diagonally across a traffic island with its wheels hanging onto the road at both ends.

It’s reported that areas like Sparkhill and Sparkbrook in Birmingham have some of the worst parked cars.

In particular, Stratford Road was found to be one of the top roads for parking fines with an astonishing 2,480 tickets slapped on windscreens in a year.
