| 1271511 | 2012-04-24 09:14:00 | Parents live in a quiet culdesac, their have had a ticket for parking over a drive wy, their drive way, a ticket for parking in the wrong direction outside their house. What parking wardens are doing in newlands I have no idea, what their are doing in one of the quietest streets in the suburb has me stumped. No it wasnt a neighbour that phoned. I lost count the amount f ing inconsiderate pricks that have parked out side our driveway oer the years. Couple that come to note was while I was leaving my driveway a car pulled up across it and was completly oblivous they were blocking my exit, in fact they got quite angry that I told them to shift. Second one of note last year my wife rang me to say some dick had parked on are driveway to go to the shop next door, they refused to move, I got home to find this car on the driveway and these people getting back in it. Even with a no parking sign the importance of some far outweighs the consideration of others. Proactive ticketing even in quite streetsprobably resulted from a complaint anyways. |

| 1271512 | 2012-04-24 09:32:00 | Some foreigners parked inappropiately and illegally. I worked with an Chinese student, who parked a few times on the main highway (those that know Gt Sth Road, Penrose, Auckland) outside work, between two driveways busy with large tranport trucks. Don't think anyone parks along main highway roads in NZ. My German stepfather, often got parking tickets (and speeding) in the 70's for double parking, opposite parking, etc. |

| 1271513 | 2012-04-24 09:34:00 | I recall once in the Invercargill I needed to turn into a driveway to get to a car park behind some shops. I could not get into the driveway because a parking warden had parked his motorcycle over the driveway while he was writing out a parking ticket for an over parked car. I gave a long blast on the horn and asked the jackbooted thug (the parking warden) if he was going to give himself a ticket for parking over a driveway. The parking ticket recipient was amused but the parking warden was slightly embarrassed. :( | Bobh (5192) | ||

Though away from the school driveway entrance. |

The parking ticket recipient was amused but the parking warden was slightly embarrassed. :( Why should he be embarrassed? From the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 "A person is not in breach of this rule if that person proves that the act or omission complained of— (a) took place in compliance with the directions of an enforcement officer, a parking warden, a traffic signal, or a traffic sign; or (b) in the case of an act or omission done by an enforcement officer or a parking warden, was necessary in the execution of the person's duty." So long as he wasn't parked outside the local pie shop getting morning tea he doesn't have to ticket himself. |

Yeah I would be pissed if someone else parked on mine. We had some fool do that at my old work, parked over dock way so trucks couldn't get in for an hour. Fixed that with a big helping of printers ink under his boot handle. He won't be finding that until he next opened it. | plod (107) | ||
| 1271517 | 2012-04-25 02:17:00 | . Don't think anyone parks along main highway roads in NZ. Define a main Highway in New Zealand? The nuisance vehicle that I started a thread about "revenue collecting really" is parked on a Main State Highway. |

| 1271518 | 2012-04-25 02:23:00 | Difference being it was our drive way we parked over, It makes no differance if your parked across a driveway then your obstructing the driveway. Your restricting access to the property (even if it is you own) to emergency services vehicles for one thing. The other thing is you also then can not complain about people parking over your driveway if it is ok for one vehicle to do so. Enforcement agents have restricted acces to all the dat on a vehicle e.g address of owner. I certainly think you would be peeved if your registration number was put over the Police Comms and your address given out as keeper? They rarely do that because of the ear wigs listening in. |

You can literally stand on road and touch garage door. I could understand if it was actually blocking a physical drive way | plod (107) | ||
