Just walking around the streets at lunchtime or driving into work, you can see examples of some of the worst parking you can imagine.

We have a small selection of bad parking we captured in just 30 minutes walking around Leicester city centre's car parks.

Take a look at the jutting out, skewed angles and general misunderstanding of the etiquette of parking and email us if you have seen worse.

Just take a digital picture of the offending article and email it to us. We promise to name and shame those really bad parkers.

If you think you can beat the examples above, email your picture of the offending vehicle into us and we will feature the shocking parking here.

Just take a picture using your picture phone or digital camera and email to [email protected] and we will be delighted to shame and blame!

Note: We mask the registration plates of all cars we feature to ensure we do not breach any personal data laws.

What sort of parking hacks you off?

I went to pick my son up from school yesterday and some idiot in a 4x4 had actually parked on the footpath directly in front of the school crossing so we first had to negotiate our way round the car before we could cross the road

The crossing patrol man who should be at work not parking outside school on the zigzags and pavement.

Della
People who park in residential roads leaving a half-car gap between them and the vehicle parked in front/behind.
