Caught in the act! Woolworths shopper violates two parking laws at the same time and leaves onlookers enraged
- Replies 25
A local from Newcastle shared a post on Reddit about a Woolworths shopper who parked her Toyota Rav4 over two “Parents with Prams” parking spots.
What’s even more infuriating is that the driver didn’t have any children with her - her car didn’t even have any children’s car seats.
“The audacity,” the user wrote in his post. “She didn’t even have a child seat.”

The situation took a turn for the worst when the onlooker approached the driver, and instead of fixing her parking, she ignored the matter and headed straight into the supermarket, leaving her five-seater vehicle in the same position.
“I confronted her and she just said ‘I know, I know’ looking really apologetic and proceeded to go into Woolies without moving the car,” the Reddit user said. “So mad.”
Fellow users were shocked by the driver’s actions and spoke their minds in the comments section.
“This is really douchey,” one user wrote.
“It’s not that she parked in the marketing gimmick car space it’s that she parked over two spots,” said another.
Other people agreed, “Exactly, the lack of children is just the icing on the a***hole cake that is taking up two spots.”
These parking spaces allow parents more room to manage prams and infants, and they are often closer to the entrance, to reduce the distance young children must travel in a high traffic area. Photo from NRMA.
But aside from the parking violation, the Reddit post also opened up a discourse over whether “Parents With Prams” parking spots should be in supermarket car parks.
“Not defending the arseholery of not parking between the designated lines but those "parents with prams" spots are nothing but marketing,” one user commented.
“They're not legally defined as a disabled spot is. They're not there to help people with mobility issues. They're there to get cashed up stay-at-home mothers swanning about town in the door and spending money,” he added.
Another replied, “But pram parking has driven me batty for years, considering the limited number of disabled parking that is provided, and I’ve never met a pro-pram parking person who wasn’t entitled AF.”
A third person commented: “Should be ‘Parents Without Prams’ in my opinion. Why do you need to park closer because your baby is on wheels?”
Parking across two spaces is always an inexcusable offence, but do you agree that ‘Parents with Prams’ parking slots are just a marketing ploy taking up spots for extra Disabled parking? Let us know down below!
