GL16 DAO

Grey Volkswagen Golf

• GL16 DAO is a grey Volkswagen Golf that caused major disruption on Hollingdean Terrace when it was left parked in the middle of the road, blocking in a resident’s car and partially obstructing the street.

• The vehicle remained in this position for several hours, forcing local residents to involve the police in order to get it moved.

• Whether the owner was a local or not remains unknown, but the assumption is that they could not find anywhere else to park and simply abandoned it where it stopped, blocking both the road and other parked cars in the process.

• Incidents like this are being reported more and more often in Hollingdean, where drivers faced with a total lack of available space choose to leave their cars in dangerous or obstructive positions rather than parking further away.

• It not only causes frustration and inconvenience but adds to congestion and creates genuine safety hazards for other road users.

• Parking in this way is not just inconsiderate, it is totally unacceptable. Streets like Hollingdean Terrace are narrow enough without vehicles being dumped across them, trapping residents and forcing the police to step in.
