Bad driving
Sir. – I endorse what Emer Mc Lysaght says (
'Shout out to the woman who trapped me in my car in Tesco car park
', June 6th). Twice in the last week, in two different car parks, access to my car was blocked by inconsiderate drivers.
In the first case I had to wait for the driver's return. When he did eventually appear, I accosted him – I confess not too politely – about his lack of consideration.
He became very aggressive and in no way was apologetic.
In the second case, I had the car number paged in the shop adjacent to the car park.

After the second paging, the driver did appear, but again he was not apologetic.
Also, while waiting for the driver to appear, a second car arrived and blocked in another car's access to its driver's door.
Inconsiderate parking is a perennial problem. This is not just blocking access to another driver's car, but generally not properly parking – for example. not parking in the centre of a bay, in some cases taking up two bays.
In general, a bit more thoughtfulness and common courtesy by road users – car drivers, cyclists, motorcyclists - would not go astray. – Yours, etc,
BRENDAN MURPHY,
Co Dublin.
