Portsmouth - UK 14

Not very interesting. Mostly complaining about how British people don't see the dangers in parking your car facing the wrong way.

I completely agree with how dangerous this is. Especially at night. What people dont seem to realise is that headlights dont both point straight forward, one is forward, the other points slightly left, so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers. Someone parks on the wrong side and leaves their lights on, and it dazzles me, and in a busy, narrow street, that's quite dangerous.

I havent been to Canada since '97, but am I right in remembering it's illegal to park on the wrong side of the road?

I've never in my life seen a car parked facing the wrong way in Canada or America.

There is nothing wrong woth parking facing the opposite way to the traffic as long as it is not a particulary busy road. Why would there be?

[13mordeth]

OR...I'm riding along a road...and a parked car pulls out of it's spot heading straight at me instead of away from me like it should.

[crash100]

still tho its going to take you time to pull out either way an pick up the speed to match the rest of the traffic if there is any,

also we been parking like that since day one, and no one has ever found any mayjor issues with parking faceing the other way the traffic,

[13mordeth]

Well there are lots of other countries that park like that...Vietnam, Cambodia, most countries in Africa....and pretty much any other 3rd world place you can think of. As opposed to all the other 1st world countries where they park the correct direction.

again im gunna have a bash at ur chicken strip comment, like i sed in a nother comment, shit weather shit roads and shit drivers mean you barely ever can get a chance to to even atempt to get your knee down, if you do manage it tho u will undoubtedly get nicked buy officer cuntychops for being and arsehole, so us bikers really dont bother being arseoles and go to places like europe or nz for bike rides!!

Thing is mate, with parking in the UK it can be a right pain in the arse to find a decent parking spot. So instead of driving around and coming back on yourself to park in the right direction you just jump in regardless! Becasue chances are if you do leave the space, by the time you come back it will be taken! Driving in England is every man for himself my friend haha.

[ItsMattttt]

i just got into your video's over the last 6 months and what do you know? you have driven down my road ahahh

[OBS3RVE]

haha, I live about 100 metres from where you started filming...and by the way its pronounced "Ports'moof'" lol..

[steviesmiler]

british roads are often too narrow to do a u-turn in, so parking on the opposite side of the road is sometimes the only way.

[Dimensionaluk]

Your pronunciation Portsmouth is hilarious.

[1Gsxrider]

lol it aint ports " mouth" .... its ports"muff "

[rpgbtv]

oh my you came to portsmouth?! where the fuck was i!?

[mealexme]

u drive in taiwan with all that crazy traffic, and you pick up on the way people park? Haha. Yea, it is illegal too, i think that only applies at night though, im not too sure. (sorry if someone has said this too, i am not looking through pages of comments to make sure i dont repeat)

[xpentor]

what's with the blurrings? made my eyes watery...

[The12Nurse]

why do they call it chicken strips? why not duck strips or cow strips? or even stripper?
