Caravan club invade MSA

Could hardly park in mway service areas today due to bloody caravans invading the lorry parks.
Mr & Mrs Freelander dragging a bedsit around the countryside is bad enough but then they think a lorry park is a ■■■■■■ picnic area, so I have to manouvere around assorted snotty kids & pet dogs while Mom & Dad boil the kettle.

You werent in fleet by any chance, was ya?

^^ This, I pulled into a services on my way back from Melton a few weeks ago and was suprised I was directed into the truck park, it was pretty big though and plenty of room - can’t remember which services, but it was a MOTO as I had vouchers that needed using.

I went into a space that a truck wouldn’t have used anyway, so I was out of the way and hidden so I didn’t get slated - and I was only there 15 mins whilst I spent my vouchers and got my coffee’s to go.

Few blast of the air horns when they look point at the bay then if not then park in the car park of anyone say to move it tell the wanna be gypies have take Your space :slight_smile: or just box them in :slight_smile:

Have you read the above posts?

Sure, if there’s seperate caravan parking like in some MSA’s, and they still park in the lorry park because they think they need the space because they’re numpties, fair enough, but when directed there, then it’s not their / our fault, and I’d like to see you block me in pal - we’re not all 65 and frail ya ■■■■■■’ bully :smiling_imp:

I’m not 65 so it don’t bother me alot younger :slight_smile:

i pull a caravan too and if you tried to block me in you would have one hell of a shock and coming and one i would put on here for all your mates to see!!! what do some drivers think the world revolves around them…

personally i would not park on a lorry park, and try my hardest not too whilst in my truck too. one of the most disgusting smelling places on earth with drivers who protest they need proper rest places but cannot eaven be bothered to walk to a toilet…

Why bloody set out your picnic table and other ■■■■ in the truck section when you could park down the side and set your picnic set up out of every other ones way…

Who wants to have a picnic with the odour of stale ■■■■ wafting around?

I stoppped there yesterday for a 45, should have made it to my tip, but thanks to all the holiday makers on the m25 and m3, i got held up. not a problem, and there was space enough for me to park even with loads of cars and caravans parking in the lorry park. My biggest beef was with the idiot who kept on using his horn to let his mates know where he was, and the kids shouting and screaming and running around. If they have to park in the lorry park, they should be requested to keep quiet.

why do they need to stop? they don’t have tachos.

Some people don’t drive tired. :wink:

I agree they should have their own parking area in all MSAs though.

God! I hate summer Holidays and those wanna be ■■■■■ who terrorise the lorry parks! Especially at Fleet! Have you seen the size of the parking area for Lorries FFS! :smiling_imp:

+1

Often see them parked in the coach or even the car bays…

And when you go to over take the ■■■■■■■ on the motorway they find it they need to speed up :imp: so you can’t pass

they used too have there own spaces at kinross services but that got filled in a few years ago so they now pitch up in the lorry park

Isn’t the real problem the pitiful lack of the facilities available on Motorways and Trunk routes in the UK.

Yes. (although that would drag this off topic) :smiley:

And if they refuse to build them, they should at least make a majority of laybys HGV only with fines handed out accordingly.

If im in the coach and there is a caravan parked up for no reason, I will block them, double park or just make it awkward for them to get out.

There is plenty spaces for caravans, if not move on to the next services.

If I need to take a 45 then the police can move me.
