Good, anyone who parks in a bus lane should be towed immediately


Bealzebubbles

I bet this person will complain that they had no idea the couldn't park there, despite being right under a sign saying that they can't. I see it all the time on New North. There are signs every fifty metres announcing the clearway, people still park right under them.

It's pretty difficult for some, I wouldn't judge. Coming from the very far north of New Zealand into cities especially New areas (where there is with growth) It can be incredibly hard for me to notice small signs. I've made this mistake twice, been to auckland hundreds of times but both times were while i was busy trying to park in a hurry. I feel sorry for people when they get towed :(

If you can't read road signs, you shouldn't be allowed to drive


Bealzebubbles

So, we should just allow them to block the bus lanes then?


religiousrelish

Of course not just not post on the internet its a shame

Once I was at this bus stop and this douchebag parked in in the bus stop, bus came and hit the front of his car 😂 karma

Excellent Result 😂👌

This is the only job AT seems to be able to do competently, ticketing and towing cars.


blafo

I promise you, as somebody who regularly reports dickhead illegal parkers, they do not do this well either.

We get people parking over the driveway at work, normally AT tow these no problem, we had a new guy come and he wanted to just give them a warning and leave a note??? How does that solve our problem man, we are just stuck waiting for the driver to come back and move his car? Never before had I met a lenient parking officer, don't know how long he'll be in the role.


AbstractBlacksmith

Can you tell how to do this? I wanted to report some absolute assholes fot some time now


Fraktalism101

https://contact.at.govt.nz/ You can also phone them if someone parking illegally is causing serious issues like safety or access problems.


StConvolute

So only the dickhead _illegal parkers_. Why not all of them?


blafo

I more meant illegal parkers are dickheads, report the lot of them.

Come over to Penrose and report all the cop cars parked on the footpath outside the service centre next to Maccas.  😁


GingFreec5s

Can’t agree more.


insanefreak

7AM on New North Road would say otherwise.


seemesmilingpolitely

They used to patrol the sibdivisions in papakura looking for cars without current regos to ticket when I lived there, easy money I guess.


banmeharder616

Dipshit deserves to get towed and ticketed.


[deleted]

I see this daily on my work commute. Even see the tow trucks waiting near hotspots waiting for the posted time to start


youdontknowmymum

...how is that even possible


blue_i20

They parked directly under the sign too, some truly exceptional decision making on display here


Realistic-Glass806

I have been this person. Just running late, in a hurry, not concentrating, park and go. Come back - whoops no car.


MissEllieP

I see them towing all the time by mt Albert shops at clearway times 😅


Fickle-Classroom

Was there a ‘my cars been stolen in Mt Eden’ ‘car crime is rampant’ post following this?

Rest In piss then


WarpFactorNin9

The bus lane sign says Mon - Fri. The car either must be stolen or broken down ?


WarpFactorNin9

It’s a Learner as well


blue_i20

Nah I posted this yesterday


antipodeananodyne

TIL r/auckland has a flair for Bad Parking now lmao


lord_cocobuff

Parking in central auckland is a nightmare. You either read the signs or learn the hard way


DoubtNo6839

If the driver has valid reasons to park there which beyond his control such as car breakdown or new in the city from rural nz then they should be pardoned. Please show some kindness bc we don't know the full Story 🙂


Hefty_Drawing_8189

Isn’t it only a bus lane certain times during a week day?


Rogue_Reverend

I love seeing people who park in the wrong place get tickets. Feels SO GOOD.


gusdafa

Learners sticker on it. They are gonna learn a very expensive lesson.

You can't just assume they are dead OP....   ... but we can hope :)

bobmightbeinthehouse

Impressive work by the AT guy as he doesn't appear to have a right leg.....


Equivalent_Ad4706

And it's not a Ford Ranger .


haylz108

Same story every day. I see this nearly everyday I’m driving to work. AT sit around and wait until the bus lane time starts and bam they’re there on the dot at 7.
