Aussie drivers can drop a dime via the internet

Despite the “snitches get stitches” attitude on display, I do wish I could use photo or video of cars parked in the segregated bike lane [1]. My experience of this locally is that it has to be the local council’s person, and they only work 9-5 M-F.

If the law says “no parking”, but the enforcement is “business hours”, then at best it’s “free parking outside of business hours”.

We like dunking on “a fine is just the cost of doing business” when levied at megacorps - in other domains we acknowledge that a rule with no enforcement is no rule.


  1. NB: these spaces are “do not park except in an emergency” in the UK. Emergency should include “you have your hazard lights on”. ↩︎
