    There should be additional rules for where you can park tall vehicles too. If you can't park a regular car within 5m of a junction it should be 15m for SUVs.

    No, but it's always nice to know where there's a good 'un.

    Just put it in the upsidedown frame and kept going round and round til it looked good, then got some chalk to see where it varied. I always dropped them in to a bike shop to be trued again at the end actually, which might help rettucs sleep better, but the shop did comment that there wasn't...
