In little defense, I left my card on the windscreen for folks to call me and I kept my phone on for emergencies. I know this does not make it right and there could have been an urgent need for the poor person to leave, no matter how little the chance.

But hey, if you can’t find parking at all, please do little to leave your information on the car at least. In case you are high on privacy; you can always pseudo it using my identity. I don’t mind, so long as you don’t get me into trouble.

Here’s an A4 template of the Jimmy Emergency Card. Write your cell in the box and cut out cards to leave in your car and wallet for use. I understand that we have poor parking plans across the country, and so, it becomes the only thing to do at times, but other peoples' conveniences should be taken into consideration. Just as you would like yours to be.
