I'm imagining a picture like those you osted above witha big red X thru it and another showing a car parked close but not too close to leave you no room and a big green tick on it. Maybe even have a measurement of the distance shoing on the secong pic so peeps understand what you are getting across.

I find most forigners actulay have better road manners than the brits but they just follow the behaviour of those around them if unsure but if you ask nicely,as you have, they happily comply.
