You can't park there, mate

For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

Rules:

No deaths or serious injuries because who would be around to get told they couldn't park there?

I see this and think to myself, huh, this has happened multiple times in the past-- I wonder how the road might be encouraging drivers to go this fast?

checks google maps streetview

No streetlights, ~~no reflective signs near the turn~~ (there are signs if you are heading south), the road is completely straight leading up to the turn, and the lanes look huge (can fit nearly two cars in one lane).

And they are wondering why this happens?
