The current alternative is pretty funny, if you live in a council who's really strict about parking.
It's really hilarious when people park like wankers in Melbourne CBD because there's an online form you can fill out to sic the parking inspectors on them really quickly depending how busy they are.
I've done it multiple times to people parking in the car-share dedicated spots. It's always Teslas, BMWs, Mercedes.
Though, now we've had this conversation, I'll keep an eye out for oversized car parking too.
Them when they get the fine: wHaT dO tHeY eXpEcT mE tO Do?
Buy literally any other ute/van that easily fits in the spots.
I'm a bastard haha, I can't wait.
Why I think we should do literally nothing to accommodate this ridiculous vehicles, accommodation is a precedent they will come to expect and feel entitled to.
People already feel entitled to large roads, and right of way for cars. Let's not give them a single mm.
I suppose they're doing their best haha
One of my neighbours has a Kia K200 for his landscaping business. Another has a Ram 2500 for his ego.
Only one of them can drive through the estate when there are other cars parked on both sides of the road.
One of your neighbours sounds eminently reasonable
