A driver in Sydney was recently involved in a parking dilemma and posted it on Reddit to ask other motorists for their opinion. He had pulled into a free parking spot that he believed was his, ahead of another car that was waiting on the wrong side of the road. The driver of the white car was abused by the driver of the blue car, who claimed the spot was theirs.
The post included an image to show the position of the cars in relation to the parking space.
Many commenters felt that the white car was in the right because of the blue car’s position and the fact that the blue car would have had to do a multiple-point turn to get into the spot from the wrong side of the road. Some also pointed out that the blue car should have approached the spot from the correct side of the road. Others believed that the blue car was entitled to the spot because they were there first and could legally make a U-turn.
There was also some debate around road rules and the legality of making a u-turn in this situation. While the centre line was broken, allowing for a legal u-turn, the driver of the blue car still needed to ensure that they did not obstruct traffic. Some commenters felt that the white car should have been more courteous and allowed the blue car to take the spot.
Opinions were divided on this issue, with some feeling that the white car was in the right and others feeling that they were being selfish. However, most agreed that parking dilemmas like this are all too common and can create confusion and frustration for drivers.
