Could have parked in the space normally, ie. parallel to the kerb, and not had to park half on the grass.
Apologies for the poor quality pic. I was trying to be discreet

There was literally no reason for this other than because they can. Stupid
I genuinely don't see anything wrong with thatThey are taking up one space, like they would if they parked nornally
They have not inconvenienced anyone (you cant even argue about the hatching at the end of the row, as the back of the car isn't in them), like they would if they parked normally.
If I saw that on my way inside I would crack a smile about it, I think CoolHands needs to loosen up a little.It's probably safer too as they better visibility than if parked parallel.But when they leave, they will need to revese out, where other cars and pedestrians would normally not expect them.
Should have reversed in!

Should have reversed in!How is parking like that 'safer' and with 'better visibility'
If that was driven in then that would needed to be reversed 2 foot back and then turn right straight onto the road.
If that was reversed in then would be simply driven out.
Instead now that has to be reversed out onto the main bit of road

How could any driver possibly know that is a cycle lane?
Bearing in mind a driving instructor in Aberdeen recently told a cyclist the cycle lane with dashes, was mandatory for the cyclist to be in, and should not be on the rest of the road, he said this in front of the learner, what chance does a Merc driver have It was on you tube, and the instructor tail between his legs had to admit he was WRONG.

Agree with that, I’m not saying that I’d park there, but if I did, I’d almost certainly back in, I never drive into a parking spot, unless I’m going to need access to the boot for shopping etc., it makes egress so much easier if you back in.Should have reversed in!
I’ve seen people, men as well as women, spend an inordinate amount of time manoeuvring back and forth in order to drive into a spot, and thought, ‘Christ, hope I’m not parked opposite when they struggle to back out.’

What is the purpose of the single yellow line in the cycle lane though? By putting a single yellow line there, the council have effectively stated that it's legal to park there at certain times of day!
Parking restrictions don't apply to (push) bikes so there would be no benefit in putting the line there to say that people can't park their bike at the side of the bike lane in the rush hour. Not that anyone has parked their bike by propping it up by its pedal on the kerb since about 1955 anyway....

Pedal on the kerb!Wow, that seems like a million years ago, I guess that it stopped when it was realised that that was the reason that it was missing when you came out of the shop, and if you wanted to at least try to avoid that, you had to employ a cycle lock and/or chain it to a lamppost.

Not sure what it is with Smart car drivers but just because it may physically fit somewhere doesn't mean you can or that the rules of the road don't apply

You can find as many objects to collect as you can find collectors, but some of the most interesting collectibles are slot machines. You can buy them used, but the legality of owning a gambling machine varies from state to state. This page takes a look at some of the issues involved in buying a used slot machine to start or expand a collection of your own.
Where Do You Live?
The first thing you should understand is that no matter where you live, if you’re using a slot machine to offer gambling to other people, you need a license. In some states, gambling is completely prohibited. Chances are you’re an individual collector and don’t have a gambling license, so don’t let people gamble on your games unless you have a high risk tolerance for illegal behavior.
In some states, even collectors aren’t allowed to own a used slot machine. These states include Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Ownership of slot machines, used or otherwise, is illegal in those states.
Other states have no legal restrictions on slot machine ownership as long as you’re not using them to run a gambling business. These states include: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The other states have specific guidelines based on the age of the machine. For example, in California, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming, it’s legal to own a slot machine as long as it’s at least 25 years old. Other states have higher or lower age limits—in Florida you can own a slot machine as long as it’s 20 years or older, but in Massachusetts, it has to be at least 30 years old. And still other states base it on what year the machine was built; in Illinois and Iowa, for example, it’s only legal to own slot machines that were constructed before 1950.
To the best of my knowledge, this information is complete and accurate, but before buying your own used coin-op slot machine, you should check with local legal authorities to make sure you have the most up to date information. You should always obey the laws in whatever jurisdiction you reside.
What Kind of Dealer Are You Dealing With?
You’ll find plenty of people selling used slot machines on the Internet. Many of these are third-party sellers. That means they don’t offer slot machines directly; instead, they just take your order and then buy the slot machine from someone else and have it shipped to you. You’ll often notice that these third party dealers use stock images or pictures that were stolen from direct dealers’ websites.
It’s better to deal with a direct dealer when you can. These dealers will often offer a warranty on the machines they sell. They’ll also be able to help you over the phone if you’re having a problem operating your game. Third party dealers aren’t able to offer you this level of service.
One way to be sure you’re dealing with an actual dealer instead of a third party is to ask them if you’re able to visit their showroom or warehouse. Third party dealers, for obvious reasons, don’t have showrooms or warehouses.
What Kinds of Used Slot Machines CAN I Buy?
Most dealers offer reconditioned machines that have been retired from use in Las Vegas style casinos. Many of these are the same IGT (International Game Technology) manufactured games that you’re used to seeing in the casino, only older and more primitive. Most dealers also provide replacement parts and repair services.
One thing to look for when considering buying a machine from a dealer is whether or not they use real glass or plexiglass. Real glass is superior as plexiglass fades over time. You can expect to pay a little more for a machine with real glass, but it’s worth the extra cost. If you’ve ever seen a faded plexiglass screen on a used slot machine, you’ll know what I mean.
Many of these games can be set up to enjoy on “free play” mode. You don’t have to insert any kind of money in order to play these games. You can even modify these games to pay out tickets.
Examples of some of the popular and well-known games available for sale on the Internet include titles like Cleopatra, Double Diamond, Munsters, Red, White, and Blue, Sizzling Senves, Tabasca, Texas Tea, and Wild Cherry slots. Many other titles are available besides these, but you’ll recognize a lot of these brand names as still being available (albeit in newer models) in casinos today.
How Much Should I Spend?
Used slot machines are collectibles, and they’re priced accordingly. Shipping is usually going to be expensive, too. You can probably expect to pay at least $600 for a good machine and $200 for shipping. Video slots will cost twice that or more, and you’ll sometimes have the option of upgrading to a new LCD monitor when buying a video slot machine. Those are expensive, too–$400 or $500.
Other upgrades you can pay for include stereo sound packages, coin in coin out functionality, and/or backlit reels (on mechanical or electro-mechanical machines). These upgrades generally cost between $100 and $200 each.
Of course, these prices apply to relatively newer slot machines. Older antique slot machines can cost more or less. I’ve seen slot machines from the 1930s and 1940s that were beautifully refurbished for sale for as little as $325. Some of these older machines are barely recognizable as slot machines, but they make beautiful, conversation-worthy collections.
Conclusion
Buying a used slot machine can be a fun way to start a new hobby of collecting gaming machines, but do some research first. You want to make sure that it’s legal to do so before you get started. You also need to do some research into dealers before spending any money. Avoid third-party dealers, and find a direct dealer with a warehouse who offers warranties and telephone customer support.
