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.

Also from the same thread:

For people who aren't intimately knowledgeable about the Seattle rail system, the Mt Baker station is an elevated platform. Meaning she had to have driven the WRONG WAY on a railroad about 40 feet up in the air for SEVERAL MILES to end up here.

Edit: it looks like it was not "several miles" but less then one mile; a notable feat anyway:

Even better:

According to someone who was there and watched it happen, there were multiple people banging on her car windows trying to get her to stop. But she just kept going and going until THE LITERAL GROUND FELL AWAY leaving her car beached on the frame on top of the train tracks.

Willfully doing it does explain a lot

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.

They’re just waiting for the train to push them into 1885.

That's just baffling. I know our light rails, take it to Seatac whenever I travel. How the everliving fuck did that happen?

Looking at the station makes it even crazier:

What? This is seattle, out light rail stations look nothing like this and none of them are elevated.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

The driver, or at least the plates, are from Utah.

[–] disregardable@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Has to be sleep-walking, drug use, or schizo-affective. I don’t see how else this happens to someone with a functioning mind.

40 feet up in the air for SEVERAL MILES

Fuck. I'm honestly just impressed.

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I work for an MTA. This sort of thing happens all the time. People are crazy 🤣🤣🤣

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So the cars are able to fit through the entrance?

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yes. When the light rail vehicle enters the tunnel from the street, it's at the same grade as the traffic. All a car has to do is ignore signs and bumps, etc. Pretty sure they're usually blind drunk.

What kind of test do you guys have to pass for a drivers license???

[–] guynamedzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Well, during our tests, we never have to go past railroad tracks! How can we be expected to just know that we’re not supposed to turn into them?

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is there a right way to drive several miles on an elevated train track?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

In a train.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What the fuck is wrong with some people...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

IKR?

You're supposed to take the tires off so the rails go in the grooves of the rim.

[–] Decq@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How, just how can you be this dumb? What's in the water over there? Murcery? Lead?

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mormonism.... Basically worse than all three.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ffs this is in Seattle, mormons might be dumb but even they don't deserve to catch strays like this.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Utah plates though

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

driver is from utah, not here. don't blame us for her crazy shit.
