FRUSTRATED motorists across the North-East have been taking pictures of some of the most inconsiderate parking.

From parking on pavements, blocking junctions and disabled spaces to parking right over the line, cars and vans have been pictured breaking the rules.

But while not every parking contravention poses an immediate safety risk, blocking junctions and pavements can be dangerous and is against The Highway Code.

We've been asking for your worst examples of truly horrendous parking captured over the past few months - and you have not disappointed.

Here is a selection of the 14 worst examples that we have received of parked vehicles so far.

We have decided to block out individual registration numbers to protect the identity of the drivers, but have published the locations of each badly parked car.
