1324520 2013-01-23 21:21:00 I agree its the law. In this case the law isnt an ass cars need to be the same way around when parking to stop confusion. prefect (6291)
1324521 2013-01-23 21:26:00 God forbid we have confused cars parking all over the place. R2x1 (4628)

1324523 2013-01-23 22:28:00 Quite frankly it would be far better if angle parking here was done the same way as I believe the Aussies do it. The angle parking goes the opposite way and everyone reverses into them as it is far better when exiting.
I am assuming the photo in the link was where she got done as that isn't even angle parking.

1324524 2013-01-23 22:31:00 I dont think it is the same park Mike, yet the council said it is a new law (in the article) but i dont think so...

it is illegal to park facing the wrong way in any car park on a public road isnt it?

EDIT: the photo is taken close to where she got the ticket iirc the parking situation on that road

1324525 2013-01-23 22:46:00 She should have got the ticket, driving straight out would mean she would be facing into oncoming traffic and would have to turn hard left to get out, potentially hitting the car next to her. pcuser42 (130)
1324526 2013-01-23 23:11:00 t is illegal to park facing the wrong way in any car park on a public road isnt it?
I can certainly understand that especially at night when you would have rear reflectors facing the wrong way so able to cause confusion.
