Anger over woman’s ‘unfair’ parking act caught on dashcam: ‘You’re not even a car!’

Australians are furious after a woman’s ‘dishonest’ parking act was caught on dashcam.

The footage showed the motorist driving down a street and seeing a woman standing in a car park on a busy Gold Coast street in south-east Queensland.

The owner of the dashcam then turned around in the street and walked to the parking lot where the woman was standing.

An argument then broke out after the driver asked the motionless woman if she actually ‘reserved’ the spot.

“That’s really unfair, you’re not even a car,” he said.

The young woman refused to move and reportedly said, “We’re not moving for you, you’ll have to find a new one, I’m sorry.”

She kept pointing to her mother’s car, which was behind the man trying to park.

Finally, the irritated driver gave up and drove away.

Nearly everyone who saw the exchange shared their disapproval online, saying they wouldn’t have “given up.”

“Ahhhh, the road rage I feel watching this,” said one.

‘This makes me so angry!! I would have parked halfway around her and walked away,” said another.

“She has NO RIGHT to do that. You should have parked her and filmed her. YOU were entitled to that park,” a third added.

A few supported the woman, saying they were “totally okay with booking a spot.”

The incident follows a similar incident in a parking lot in January, when a woman tried to hold a parking spot by standing in the spot.

Dashcam footage shows how the customer had to move while the driver drove his car straight into the parking lot.

While it is not illegal for a pedestrian to reserve a parking space in Queensland, the measure has been dismissed as extremely anti-social.

She initially held the front of the car’s bonnet before realizing the driver had no intention of reversing, sparking outrage on social media.

In both cases, social media users flocked to the comments section, saying that “standing there trying to hold the spot is unacceptable.”

While it is not illegal for a pedestrian to reserve a parking space in Queensland, the measure has been dismissed as extremely anti-social.

However, transport legislation does state that ‘a pedestrian may not unreasonably obstruct the path of a driver or another pedestrian’.

The NRMA also states in a blog post about parking etiquette rules that it is ‘obvious’ that a spot cannot be claimed in this way.
