It seems every week more and more Canberrans are being infected by the bad parking epidemic, it’s getting frightening.
Just check out this massive haul of poor parking shots.
If you’ve seen an outbreak of bad parking, take a photo as evidence and send it to images@the-riotact.com.
Be sure to include the word “parking” in the subject line and let us know what name you would like to be credited as.
1. Balthazar brings us the goods:
Here are two examples of bad parking from the car parks of Gungahlin taken Tuesday morning.
2. Paul’s pics are small but potent:
In the driveway, in front of the hydrant booster at Aldi in Lanyon.
Parking at the Hyperdome.
3. Nicola’s husband doesn’t understand how important this is:
Seen at O’Connor shops, taking up two spaces in the midst of the 5pm after-work rush, while half a dozen cars queue for a spot. Hubby wouldn’t stop our car to let me get a photo of the work van parked on the other side of the shops, right in between the pedestrian crossing and a ‘No Stopping’ sign. :/
4. Kimmi is too busy to say more:
On a busy Wednesday.
5. Sbugden finds no direct connection between literacy and parking ability:
At the National Library of Australia.
6. Harold just doesn’t know:
I don’t know how some of these people got their licences.
7. Kate gets in close:
A great example of touch parking in the ANU carpark on Barry Drive today.
Advice round the office is don’t park anywhere near the orange Subaru.
8. Cath has had a busy day:
In the past 24 hours I’ve spotted two examples of Canberra’s finest parking. The first at the O’Connor shops – this Honda driver was nice enough to put her hazard lights on, but I’m quite sure that the only ’emergency’ she was facing was the fast approaching IGA closing time.
The second was at the Northbourne Ave / Barry Drive intersection this morning, where a white station wagon was stopped on the median strip. Presumably it actually was a break down, but the car did manage to get onto the median strip!?
9. Johnyboy spent an afternoon at the Front Cafe discussing the greater implications of this parking fiasco with the locals:
Parking at the Front.
10. Aeek is considerate:
Across from Black Pepper, mmm green eggs and ham, angle chosen for Poetix; had to take a second shot when the closer one turned up.
11. Genie wishes this wouldn’t happen:
Taken in the Nishi building
Not even parked in a car park despite there being dozens of empty spots.
12. Cath caught this beauty:
Another gem spotted on David Street today – apparently this merc driver doesn’t realise that you’re supposed to ‘pull over’ when you park, and instead believes that you just stop where you are.
13. Sheep Groper with a two hit combo:
A half arsed attempt at parking within the lines, and the diplomatic core doing what they do
best.
14. Belcoman better have a cape:
Parking in true Yarralumla style taken last Friday.
15. Mothy closes this week:
Spotted behind Big W in Gungahlin, Saturday morning 31/08/12.
16. BONUS: Logan brains us the missing third picture:
Sorry, forgot to attach the third pick.
