"History will be kind to us, because we will write it"
Once again we turn our attention to awful displays on the roads and car parks of Canberra.
1. Allen sent this one in from the Gunahlin Magnet Mart:
2. Stephen sent this in with Audi proudly flying the cockwittery flag once again:
Another parking image. Keep clear – No stopping.
Is there not enough parking in this town?
3. Pork Hunt has had some fun at The Pavillion:
4. Tim sent us this:
Does the yellow X indicate where I’m not supposed to park, or where I’m supposed to park? I don’t know, I always get so confused – that’s probably why I bought a blue Mazda 3 (just like everyone else who gets confused by too many choices).
5. Allen had another entry for us:
Snapped this one parked smack bang in the middle of two disabled parks!! Like a disabled park by itself isn’t big enough!!!
6. Smee gave us this:
Here’s one for the bad parking thread. Taken today in the Hyperdome car park. The two cars are actually touching.
7. Mark gave us a nice piece of work:
Spotted this gem getting around in Chisholm. Driver flipped us the bird as we passed him…apparently taking photos and laughing your arse off at such things is frowned upon down that way. For those concerned with safety, no, the photographer was not the driver. Also apologies for the filthy windscreen.
8. Finally I saw this in Dickson last night. It would have been harder to steal if stood up with the kickstand down.
Got an image of Canberra (parking related or otherwise) you want to share with the world? Email it in to images@the-riotact.com .

Pics 2- 8 are appalling/amusing, bit number 1 might just be that on a quiet Sunday arvo there are about 5000 spaces free in that carpark and this didn’t really inconvenience anyone at all..(no, it’s not my car).
I saw that blue Mazda in picture No. 4 pull up and park like that last week, and I couldn’t get over the fact that she was displaying P-plates, yet looked like she was nearly 30.
Plus she nearly ran a few people down in her rush to get into that space.
#6 – What’s not to love about two chick cars snogging in public?
Postalgeek said :
They’re butt ugly.
#5 is gob-smackingly heinous. Can we please have the number plate? Because I wouldn’t mind crippling that driver, that way they can park in disabled spots at their leisure. Everyone wins.
Antagonist said :
I only like chick cars snogging in public if both of them are hot.
My theory is this, I pay three rego’s, Mrs RAAF drives one and I drive the other two, one daily the other is a project, this entitles me to two parking spots, two lanes, twice as long in the right hand lane and twice as much oil dropped on the road!
Seriously, if there are dozens of empty bays I will also take two spots, but only if i’m in one of my classics because stinkin civvies can’t be trusted around nice cars!
Captain RAAF said :
Hope you are happy to pay the fine aswell.
Captain RAAF said :
That’s along the same lines as “I pay a huge amount of taxes, I’m going to the nearest public housing residence to hang out on their couch whether they like it or not, ‘Stinkin Civvies’.”
Captain.
Good to see you, sir.
Captain RAAF said :
You must be smart. You park in two bays so nobody damages your pride and joy. Whats the stop the next muppet from also parking in two bays right next to you. Stupid is as stupid does.
Mike Bessenger said :
Got to admit though, the CAPT is correct. The number of numpties out there who simply slam their door on the car next to them without a semblance of guilt is quite amazing.
And worse still, when you pull them up about they get all ancy and give you a gobful, “What’s it you hey?”
Mike Bessenger said :
Nothing at all actually, doesnt bother me but as I said if its a carpark with dozens of empty spots and I’ve parked my 17 foot long piece of big block Mopar muscle in two spots, the only people that generally ever park beside you are like-minded car lovers, so I have nothing to fear!
Being 6 foot and built like a brick s***house also stops people parking beside you should they see you coming or going….
Captain RAAF said :
Lol
Captain RAAF said :
What actually works is parking the furthest bay from the shops. If anyone parks near you it’s always like minded people, everyone else is just too lady to walk that extra distance.
Captain RAAF said :
Meh. I’m six foot and the runt of the family, including in-laws. But brick is okay, just as long as you’re not confusing it with being built like a fat s***house.
#8 with the DIY rego plate looks suspiciously like the ferals that live in Page along petterd st. At one point they had about 4 – 5 cars with only one car having actual rego plates. The others being driven around sans rego plate.
I’ve seen the blue falcon driving to pick up their spawn from weetangra school, no rego plates of course. I wonder if it is the same owner and they upgraded to cardboard plates.
We could all take a leaf out of Larry David’s book on this matter..
