Dear Lord you have been busy Rioters,
71 parking photos this week.
71!
I’ve been cropping and editing and resizing and sticking little “RiotACT” labels over all the license plates all morning.
71! Madness!
So did everyone just take more photos, or is poor parking becoming an epidemic?
Egads!
Have a poor parking photo you want shared? Send it to images@the-riotact.com!
Be sure to include the word parking in the subject and to let us know what name you would like to be credited with.
1. John managed a parking space near Questacon:
Choice anxiety is a horrible thing. Best to just avoid it.
2. Erkzo offers up a fresh batch:
Heres a few for you!
3. Curlylocks has been collecting these for a while:
4. GerryBuilt gives us a two-hit combo:
ACT GovCo car, midday Wednesday at Lake Ginn College…
Outside lake ginn college, midday… Tradie, of course… Plenty of nearby parking (school holidays)
5. CC brings us some more poor parking:
So this car and trailer billboard combo has been parked full time in a three hr space near Questacon. The impressive achievement though is somehow getting the Smart Car over the concrete stopper.
Breaking 3 or 4 parking rules at once.
6. Goggles13 caught this with his perfectly dry eyes:
Spotted near the discount chemist in woden.
7. Tigs spots some lovely hospital goers:
At the Canberra Hospital on Wednesday – both cars over the lines & taking 3 car parks in a busy car park. So considerate!
8. Grump gives the goods:
2 more for the Canberra parking saga, one at Jamison, the gift that keeps on giving!
The second on Cameron Avenue Belconnen where at 8am, the guy just pulled off the road on to the median strip while I was at the lights, got out and delivered what must have been an urgent delivery of beans for the morning coffee rush at the cafe across the road!
9. AmarooStu spots the best bit:
Best bit was – there were no cars to the left of the Hyundai! Just makes it a little bit harder to get kids in/out of cars.
10. PorkHunt checks on our neighbours:
Spotted at Qbn Roos Club.
11. Matt finds a doozy:
12. Genie sees no need to be a douche:
Taken in the Nishi building.
I understand that the ute was full of wood that stuck out about a metre from the back, so they wouldn’t fit in just one car park.
However ! There was no need to be a douche and park diagonally across 2 disabled carparks.
13. Ben Dover has travelled far to bring us these:
14. Richard has been busy:
Series taken on friday at Hinder st Gungahlin.
Series taken a couple of weeks ago at Coombs Close outside the coombs building at the ANU.
15. Michelle forages for shots at Belco Mall:
The first one has it’s rear wheel on a no-parking sign.
16. RN slipped us these on the hush hush:
Must be too far to walk from the overflow parking to the treadmills at CISAC.
17. Ryan calls us a special offer:
Not one but two: one in a loading zone and the other in the no parking space between disabled parking bays. For the later effort/red car, this guy was gone for about 15 – 20 and I won’t comment on the fact that he left what looked like a 2 year old in the back seat alone while he was gone…
18. Hackett is not amused:
This photo was taken on Saturday afternoon at The Dickson Woolies car park. The driver is clearly a wanker for two reasons: 1. his wankerish personalised number plate and 2. Parking in the yellow zone next to a disabled park. There were dozens of free spots available a few meters further. Idiot!
19. Morgan takes his first step into a larger world:
Spotted in the Canberra hospital carpark Monday 7th October. Nabbed my first one 😉
20. Gonebatty!!
I thought you might like this picture I snapped up today out at the Cotter play ground/walking trail. Seems like the owner is a law unto their own. This is a bit excessive considering there was only one other car in the whole car park. It did sound nice when he left the carpark up the hill….
21. Sheep Groper isn’t friends with that workman I’m assuming:
A set of parking miscreants around Murulla Lane in Civic, a couple of tradies that think keep
clear doesn’t apply to them, and a couple of people who don’t mind being an obstacle to
vehicles entering the lane by standing in the no standing zone by the entrance.
The cheap chemist was a lesson in pedestrian observational abilities as the white car backed
into a family starting to cross behind the car as it made its exit. As always photos of the
cheap chemist zebra crossing are taken when there’s ample free parking around the corner.
Also, I was wondering, are loading zones free game on weekends and after business hours?
I see cars parked there but never do so myself as I don’t think ordinary cars should be there,
no matter the time or day.
And I was at my favourite Dickson restaurant on the weekend, snapping two vehicles parked
in the pick up and drop off only zone. The van was DC plated, sterling job of keeping up the
reputation of the blue plates guys.
22. Tim drops quite a collection on us:
This large lady parked her car illegally and left me wondering about cause and effect – was she so fat because she was always so lazy as shown by her not wanting to walk the extra 20m from a legal parking space, or was it because she was carrying all those extra kilos that she was unable to walk the extra 20m from a legal parking space – I reckon if I was carrying around the equivalent of a bag of cement all day every day, I’d be wanting to park as close as possible too.
Yes, that’s a ‘No Parking’ sign you can see there.
What is it with cheap chemists?
