That's the spirit, employ more problems
The point is that this trailer prevents another vehicle from reversing out of a parking space.
I doubt these drivers at Bunnings you're referring to parked in a manner that blocked another vehicle's access.
This car park was none of those.
People with trailers need to eat too!
I own an American truck & a large tandem trailer, I work all over vic/nsw. I at times had to park across 6/7 parking bays what's the issue
Sad that you’re so salty about this.
The fact that you are having to reply so often with so much extra information is just proof that the photo was lacking. Of course people are criticizing it. It doesn't contain all the information needed, and when they say so, you're getting defensive when no one is targeting you in the first place.
So you're saying that parking another vehicle in is acceptable?
That's not necessarily ideal but parking in one spot and blocking someone with a trailer is probably worse.
The vehicle with the trailer is parked in a space designed for a standard vehicle, with the trailer protruding behind beyond the usual boundaries of a car space.
The vehicle in the foreground is parked in another space that's 90° left in direction. That vehicle is parked in by the trailer.
Both spaces are in the corner of the car park.
This is not Bunnings.
He could have parked elsewhere and not blocked another vehicle. There was ample space at the time to do so.
I've already explained the photograph and situation in other comments.
What bet? Why would I be interested in that? I'm merely sharing an example of a driver parking in a poor manner without consideration for others.
It's in the corner of a car park and the trailer is blocking a another vehicle in.
That didn't occur. Driver got out vehicle and went to make a purchase.
There was a whole section elsewhere in the car park that was empty, where the vehicle and trailer could have been parked but the dude was too lazy to walk a few extra steps.
So you're saying that taking up multiple spaces, with no impact on anyone else, is better than parking in a manner where another vehicle is blocked from exiting?
As I've stated several times, the dude could easily have parked in another area of the car park where there were ample spaces to park across and out of the way. The driver was too lazy and parked in a poor manner so as to be closer to the entrance instead.
Parking with a trailer comes with a responsibility to park so that your vehicle and trailer are not a hindrance to other punters. This picture indicates that the driver of that vehicle had no such consideration and therefore is a hindrance to other user of the carpark. Just be sensible and we all get along nicely.
Also, the number plates are still visible, despite the masking.
Are they not pulled through on a double park the photo is not very clear
Yeah until some fw parks their car there because the trailer bay is closer than the empty car bay!
How can you make such hateful judgment when you weren't there? It's the best that could logistically be done in the geographical and physical circumstances.
See in my experience it’s the older people who are the dickheads, especially in Queensland.
People who can't see the /s are an issue too...
I don't have a trailer thank you.
The photo is too cropped and I think it's been done so to make the dude with the trailer look like a dick for internet points. Show me the wide shot for some actual context.
I can't see that in the photo. That's why I didn't think much of it. I agree the blockage is unfair.
Just using them as examples. I mean if the trailer was needed for picking up the mower or other materials I wouldn't have a problem with it, but if the person was popping into the shops while having the trailer on then fuck them.
You asked https://youtu.be/jN7mSXMruEo
Oh my bad, doesn’t matter so long as there are other places to park IMO 🤣
Well I’m not reading all the comments to find why you chose a horrible pic.
My initial thought was everything to the right of the pic is parkland and trapped car is actually just driving past.
By looking at that pic, “trapped” needs to give the steering wheel a half turn to the left and reverse out of the gaping space it seems to be incorrectly parked in.
Sorry mate, meant that just happened tonight at my local Maccas
That’s not what I am saying
Yeah you know what I can see now I was missing some context from your shoddy photo, and the trailer is hanging out so I get it, the guys an ass but so are you for not making it clear and if you have “stated several times” then I’m not the only one who missed this so I think your an ass too.
How would the person you're replying to right now know that from the photo? "As I've stated several times" is such a passive-aggressive response to someone who is engaging with your post in the way that you asked.
Nah, those are the fw's who park in the timber area then go in for coffee
[removed]
Sure, but it doesn’t show context. If car park is packed, then sure - pretty selfish. If there are plenty of spaces, who gives a shit?
Then don't post? There is no way to tell anything from that crop apart from the fact that it has a trailer.
I don't think it was meant to be hateful, it's just an accurate observation. It's a poor photo for what you're trying to use it for. It might be the best that could be done, but sometimes the best you can do doesn't cut it. And yeah, it's just not a good enough photo to answer the question you're expecting us to answer
agree, i want to see the area layout before grabbing my pitchfork.
I couldn't care less about your 'internet points'. What I care about is commonsense courtesy. I'm not showing anything irrelevant nor am I going to reveal the precise location, so accept the zoomed in image I've presented.
If it were possible, I'd have taken an aerial image with a satellite but I'm not Elon Musk.
Both vehicles were parked in spaces either side of a corner.
The trailer blocked access if the other vehicle wanted to reverse out.
It was a dude who went to buy a drink. There was plenty space elsewhere to park out the way.
NoW THATS A FACT those mf think they belong anywere
5 minutes... That's probably enough time to do something irresponsible with a forklift...
The vehicle that got parked in was already there.
The trailer dude shouldn't have parked there and blocked them in. He could have parked elsewhere instead. Regardless if the car park was full or not, you don't intentionally park someone in.
Is it actually obstructing other cars? Looks like they're pretty far in. I'm with you if they're blocking other vehicles.
Yeah we dont give a shit where it is. We need to see further behind it so we can tell if its actually blocking anyone manuevering past or out from next to it
Commonsense courtesy would include posting a picture where people could figure out what is going on.
You cannot see that the car in the bottom left is parked as there are no lines visible. For all we know, they are exiting the carpark. Also, you can't see the lines around the car with the trailer. They could be completely within a parking spot, completely outside of a parking spot, or overhanging out the back of a parking spot.
If you couldn't take a better photo of the situation, then you should at least had the "common courtesy" of describing what you were trying to show in the photo rather than being a complete d\\\* when someone calls you out on it.
>Both vehicles were parked in spaces either side of a corner.
The trailer blocked access if the other vehicle wanted to reverse out.
And you're picture doesnt show that. Instead you've posted a picture where it looks like the guy is doing nothing wrong, then getting the shits because people want more info instead of blindly agreeing with your opinion.
Gotcha. Yeah, sorry mate - I saw that as a long row of nose to nose car parks and old mate has parked in two of them. I’ll take your word for it, but it’s not clear from the photo that anyone is parked in. In that case, he’s definitely a shitbag.
Mate, from your photo you can't even tell the other car is parked in.
You posed a question to the subreddit but your photo doesn't provide enough info for people to give you a decent answer.
You can’t tell that’s what’s happened from the photo. Bad photo to show off what’s happening
Kahlua and Coke for the lady please
Best options for sending a computer from Coffs Harbour to Sydney? I’ve tried looking it up but gets kinda confusing, I’ve sold the computer so I just need to ship it now lol
You can call up a courier company, or if it's small and light enough - take it into AusPost.
You'll need to pack it carefully, though. Lots of protection outside. The original box for the case is a good starting point for this.
You will also need to support the GPU and heatsink/fan with antistatic-foam/padding/cardboard. Large and Heavy GPUs and Headsinks may need to be completely removed and packed separately if they don't have very good support.
Basically pack it as though someone is going to throw it out a window, and then use it for bracing while they change a tire on a semi-trailer. Basically this guy's less gentle brother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YrpmZFixp0
Because that is pretty much what is going to happen.
Also, no matter how well you package it, there's a good chance it's going to get broken anyway, because delivery drivers tend to take well packaged stuff as a challenge.
Dont use “couriers please”. Through Australia Post ive shipped some large items, like I’m talking about archery cases. Id trust them over most couriers.
Find a box, bunnings has plenty of free ones out the front or get one from there thats suitable. Measure and weigh it and work out the cost.
On the other-hand you can always go for a drive-to ensure it doesnt break. Ive had couriers take a month to delivery a package 2hrs drive.
Do not use Barnett's.. under NO circumstances use them.
Couriers please aren't much better.
Honestly, I still default to Australia Post/StarTrack, as shit as they are, they are still typically the better service.
I've posted many PCs through them over the years and never had any issues, Just take it into a P.O and let them handle the bullshit.
I just tape a half sheet of A4 on the front with the postage details printed in large font on it, and a smaller one on the back with return details.
In terms of packing;
Just be sure to pack it ideally in it's original box if possible, if you don't have it, wrap the absolute tits out of it bubble wrap and cardboard, so it wont jump around inside the box you do decide to use.
If it has a GPU installed I would highly recommend getting an expanding foam packing pad (instapak) and inflating it inside the case to prevent it from being dislodged and broken inside the cause during handling or removing the GPU completely and packing it separately inside the case with some bubble wrap and a static bag so it cant bounce around.
You could take it yourself, as an option.
Or hire an individual to do it.
Depends on what this computer entails (lightweight notebook or desktop gaming package with giant screen, keyboard and other peripherals.).
These are options as opposed to using a 'professional' courier business.
Aaaallll righty then
Just wondering has anyone gotten a bus lane fine while on their red p's? It says it carries 1 demerit point and $362. However I'm not sure whether it's like a speeding fine where your licence instantly gets suspended on red P's. If it's not technically wouldn't I still have 3 demerit points left?
(Also this question is specific to NSW only)
Any speeding fine on your red Ps is 4 demerit points minimum.
You only have a 4 point limit on your red Ps, hence the loss of license.
Any other offences carry the usual amount of demerit points.
And you need to loose 4 points to loose your license.
The offence carries one demerit point.
