UK Google Street View update


Recommended Posts

Just noticed that Google have updated Street View to now include the rest of the UK - now I get to see my angry mother-in-law waving her handbag at the google car as it was driving down her private drive.. lol

WOW :o This is amazing, I can see my house perfectly and work. They really have covered the UK well.. even some country roads that have no people for miles are on Street View.

It's quite unbelievable...

Bloody hell, that's one heck of an update... I live out in "the sticks" and every single country road around my area is fully mapped...

Time to start finding random stuff I think!!

A lot of places the roads are not big enough to park on whilst allowing room for other vehicles to pass safely. It is annoying for us people that have to walk on the paths though but it's not really the car owners fault.

You can do it as long as the curb isn't dropped (for drive ways). To be honest though you'll get in more trouble if you don't park on the curb because people get proper angry because they can't get by. :laugh:

There are certain road markings on roads. In residential areas you're allowed to park on the curb since there is literally nowhere else to park.

But if you see a double yellow line, your ass will be fined if you park over it.:shiftyninja:
