It’s time to reward last weeks top parkers, and in doing so make everything rainbows and happiness with positive reinforcement.
That’s a lie, it’s actually time to laugh at those who cannot or will not park properly, as is our tradition.
Send in your bad parking photos to images@the-riotact.com, be sure to include the word “parking” in your subject line and let us know what name you would like to be credited with.
1. Toby starts us off this week:
London Circuit, Friday afternoon. The Black Hyundai was there before I parked the Blue VW.
2. Pork Hunt does a quick check on Q to see if they’ve gotten their parking game together, they have not:
Snapped this at Queanbeyan Maccas.
3. CLJ doesn’t understand that this continues to be funny:
Hi Riotact.. guess I missed the deadline for this to be funny 🙁 ah well. Tis a nitpicky one anyway.
4. Lauren investigates:
This was taken at approximately five thirty pm, at the rear car park of Kaleen Village. FTR I couldn’t see a disabled parking label in the car.
5. Ryan can’t help but admire the creativity:
Hard to see in phone photo but this car is half way up the bike path between kings swim school and Adelaide ave at the deakin ovals. not a road within atleast 200m. A nice creative use of footpaths to close the 200m gap to the carparking.
6. Ben_Dover took this cheap shot:
7. Lou from Gordon seems remarkably happy about this whole situation:
Good morning Riot ACT!
For Parking Monday:
‘Car 1’ – this person appears to work from home sometimes. How hard would it be for him/her to ask his/her clients and other visitors to park in the driveway rather than the footpath?
‘Car 2’ – yes, there is a driveway.
‘Car 3’ & ‘Car 4’ – further up the same road. Cars are regularly parked here. I’m not sure who they are visiting but, as you will see, all the driveways in the nearby houses are empty or have enough room for one more car.
Some months ago the ACT Govt delivered a one page letter to houses in the area (I was not the instigator of the complaint that presumably led to the letter drop) advising people about parking on footpaths etc. Obviously, I’m not the only local resident that gets ticked by footpaths being blocked so often. And, equally as obviously, the letter drop had no impact whatsoever!
8. Brydie investigates the seats of higher learning:
Just my little contribution for parking. This was taken in the university of Canberra car park. crooked but within the lines!
9. David does his homework:
This Bumblebee wannabe has been practically begging to be contributed here for weeks. He parks anywhere he likes in the street, like this regular spot for him, in a no stopping zone (sign is next to the van in the third picture) and partly over a driveway. If he gets a proper spot, he stays there all day when most spots are 30 min max. I was going to write that parking inspectors are making a fortune from him, but I am assuming that he doesn’t pay because a search of the rego indicates the car is unregistered, despite an expiry date of next month.
10. Loxmyf revisits a reliable source:
Once again Jamison provides. I’m not sure who was there first, but they make a bad pair.
Points for reversing in. Points off for choosing this non-parking bay.
11. Tigs explains what’s what:
No standing, except for Jeeps. In Purdue St Belconnen on Saturday.
12. Andrew spotted some creative parks:
13. Em5500 is a parking photo hunting machine:
Construction workers on the new Sorell Apartments in Lyons ran out of parking spots.
14. Glenn was hiding from a raiding party before spotting this:
Spotted in the carpark of vikings tuggeranong.
15. Sheep Groper has been busy:
Didn’t have much time to stalk the lazy this weekend but the chemist was fruitful.
16. The Alexa collection has arrived:
We got busted taking a picture of this one. The driver had a giggle with us and conceded it wasn’t his best parking effort.
17. Trent snapped us this:
18. MR finds more at UC:
Some parking pics from UC.
People using the disabled spots behind Bldg 7 regularly have these added parking obstacles. And the car next to the pop up barrier – there is another barrier the other side too.
19. SPECIAL BONUS VIDEO:
Keiran found us a video that shows Russia has its own parking problems.
