I am aware that some designated areas on service stations are for the use of caravan or motorhome users. I also frequently see these areas used by hgvs and the like as this then makes it frequently hard for us caravaners to park safley and not block the approach roads. But on a recent stop at the services on the m40/a34 in Oxford i was horrified to see no more than 4 cars with caravans in tow parked in the bus lanes although the signs clearly directed them to the caravan bays. This then caused a reall issue as the caravan owners spent a large amount off time trying to reverse back out of theese bays as there was no way out to the front. Come on fellow caravaners if we exspect the service area to provide adiquate bays for us we should not use bus lanes when caravan bays are only 50 yards up the service road Please members should we all not be flying the flag and showing that we are not the people that cause road hold ups and parking issues after all if we require consideration to us we lets return the favour and show other road users the same.
