I've seen three or four on Storeton Road just after the Mount Road lights.

Hardly a hazard though.

What kind of person buys from somewhere like this though? Its obviously a trader cutting corners so what else is he cutting?

Greasby roundabout, where they would've built the bypass.

Rake Lane, Wallasey by Lookers, at least before it closed that is.

I have alway`s thought this was a great idea if you needed a run around for some one who`s just passed thier test and don`t want to spend a small fortune on the first car .It doesn`t bother me if they sell cars on the road side thumbsup

I couldn't agree more, i don't care if people sell their car at the side of the road if it's not causing an obstruction. I was looking for a car in july/august and went round all the usual places you see cars for sale and only found one for sale on st hilary's brow so I wouldn't say car sales is a problem. I ended up getting a car advertised on gumtree in deeside!

There is a part of the article that makes me wonder where they get these "complaints" from.

ONE resident has notified them of THIRTY incidents, now to me that sounds like either someone with more time on their hands than it is safe to have or they have a vendetta against one person and is keeping track of everything they sell.

The other part is THE SAME RESIDENT has also complained that the side streets are being narrowed by these cars for sale, now I don't know what you think but if I was selling a car I'd put it somewhere quite prominent with a lot of passing traffic, not in a side street, makes no sense.

Oh, one last note for anyone who IS selling a car by the side of the road, chances are someone is DRIVING past it or on the bus, so FOR SALE in HUGE letters is completely pointless, just write the price in those same size letters, that will probably give us the clue that it's for sale and we can decide if that price is worth stopping to look at it for.

Is it the same person complaining ?maybe he`s doing it himself but finding there is too many of them and needs to narrow the competition down abit ?you would`nt know as i said before they don`t bother me smile
