Once saw a fork lift being used to move illegally parked cars - was in Karachi. Frankly they were not going to be damaged it Is the sort of capital of dodgy vehicles.
Man who needs rescuing by RNLI has parked his car blocking the RNLI boat shed.....

Assuming the parking area is fairly smooth tarmac (it appears to have been), aren't four of those workshop tyre-skates the answer?
No need to damage the vehicle blocking the path, however much the halfwit owner deserves it...just slide it out of the way.

What's really needed is a law that allows for a BIG fine - £500 or more and instant removal (more fees), plus BIG signs that give fair warning of it. Give the contract to the local ParkingSharks R Us company and job done. They may do it once, but they won't do it twice.

Had this elsewhere. Only access to a big property near a beach at the end of a dirt road. The gatehouse made it nice and shady too in the 30° heat. Tooted a couple of times, waited.... Then moved it. Left a big sign on the screen explaining why there were rocks stopping it rolling away as it had the hand brake disconnected. Never heard a beep. ( There were a couple of comments on the note too)

Move it to below the high water mark.

This idyllic cal shot scene surprised me as the trailer looked too large for a jetski but maybe it’s a double trailer . I guess the offender can be quickly traced by a vehicle check though by HMCG . Would suggest they name and shame in such scenario which might discourage repeat offenders?

It’s not entirely clear who the owner was or indeed what unseaworthy vessel they were drifting around Soton water or the Solent in though-the trailer itself looks rather dodgy -I wonder if it’s road legal.

Has to be said, the lifeboat boys do take the occasional liberty with parking rules themselves....

Im sure they do when needed and if they are responding to a pager any parking ticket im sure would be torn up.

local PCSO ticket for obstruction and towed . Just a shame its a paltry fine imho.
would be more fun to tie the car to the lifeboat, then haul it into the sea and use it a drogue !
