Driver slammed online for hogging four spots, including disabled bay, in Bunnings carpark

Some say that a person's true character shines through in retail car parks. It's like a little world of its own, where you need some deep-down respect for your fellow humans and a sense of civic justice to co-exist harmoniously.

But you won't believe what happened recently at a Bunnings Warehouse in Perth. Apparently, one motorist tossed every rhyme, reason, rule, and protocol of parking etiquette right out the window.



Posted on the forum website Reddit, the photographic evidence was shocking. The driver had the audacity to spread their vehicle and trailer across not one, not two, but four whole parking spaces!

It gets even worse—one of those spaces they invaded was specially designated for disabled drivers. Unbelievable, right?

The user who posted the photo wrote in the caption, 'There was no disabled badge, and of course, there is plenty of trailer parking available at Bunnings.' He also explained that there were even closer parking bays available, but the driver didn't bother.

This sparked outrage amongst other members of the online community, with people expressing their disappointment and frustrations.

One user commented, 'Not content with being a colossal prick and taking up four spots, decides to go world-class and make one of those spots a disabled parking bay. Some f****** people.'



Another person called on the shopper to inform both Bunnings and the council in the hopes that this embarrassing incident would be followed by a $500 fine. 'Blocking the disabled bay gets extra selfish points,' they said.

When Bunnings was made aware of the photo, their Regional Operations Manager, Hayley Coulson, released a statement expressing the company's shock and disappointment.

'We were disappointed to learn a customer recently used a disability parking bay for their trailer outside our Innaloo store, which our team was unaware of at the time,' she said.

'These parking bays are incredibly important for the community, and we remind our customers that they're only reserved for people with a disability or mobility restrictions.'



She also encouraged Bunnings customers to always keep disability parking bays available for their intended use and to communicate regularly with their local stores about it.

'We're really focused on ensuring disability parking bays are always available for their intended use, and we do our best to communicate regularly with our stores to remind them that these bays are not to be compromised for any reason, at any time.'

Key Takeaways

  • A Perth motorist has been criticised over a selfish parking act at Bunnings, where they used a vehicle with a trailer to occupy four spaces, including one for disabled drivers.
  • Public response to the incident was overwhelmingly negative, with people expressing shock and annoyance on the Reddit platform.
  • Bunnings Regional Operations Manager Hayley Coulson expressed disappointment about the incident, emphasising the importance of maintaining the availability of disability parking bays.
  • Despite the incident, the poster clarified that there are 'two car and trailer parking areas, one is always empty', indicating that the irresponsible parking was unnecessary.



It goes without saying that this kind of parking is totally unacceptable, and it is essential that we all follow basic parking etiquette. This is especially important for those who rely on disability parking bays to access public places safely.

Let this story serve as a reminder that a car park is a shared space, and we must do our best not to deprive others of the privilege, especially those who need it the most.

What do you think, folks? Have you ever witnessed or experienced a situation where parking spots were scarce because someone took more space than necessary? Let us know in the comments below!

A real pity that the registration number was not added to the photo.
 
You will always get the people that pack their lunch and leave their brain behide. People like this should cop a fine big time,being disabled my self a lot of these people are healthy enough to lift a trailer so it shows they are mentally disabled.


I have also seen this here in Perth. Arrogance but unfortunately not unusual. Selfish behavior.

I am disabled and occasionally I have to return home before I can shop ,exactly because of this behaviour, I try and shop at hours when not busy ,but is hard to pick,. its not so bad going in but coming out with a load of shopping is what stops me.strangely I find women drivers are the most common offenders (over many years)

That is such a selfish act of ignorance. There has been on a couple of occasions where I haven’t been able to access a disability park. Fortunately I can walk (waddle) and have not had to walk very far. It does make me friggen angry when many people who need assistance, but for some of them it’s an outing.
 
Are there any penalties against this person?
I'm guessing probably not. Although Bunnings may own the land for all the parking made available, I believe if it isn't fenced off, and with a gate, then it becomes a public thoroughfare. Only Police and Parking Inspectors would be able to fine such bad parking people. Because it has happened, I am not sure if a photo (including registration display) would be sufficient evidence for Police or Parking Inspectors to act upon it.

The number plate on the trailer is clearly visible. Could this pic have been given to police for follow up?

I have seen this a few times in my shopping centre in Brisbane. It's handy for them they think to park this way, but no thought for other people. Pity there isn't a security guard to watch these actions.

Bunnings do have special car parks for cars that are towing trailers, obviously this inconsiderate person didn't think of that.
 
This has absolutely NOTHING to do with “big utes”. It just as easily could have been a mini minor towing a trailer. You are completely missing the point
The original commentator might have noted that many drivers of these big and bigger utes act and drive as though they're invincible.

So it seems the person taking the photo put it on social media first. Did they actually go into the store and show the manager their photo so they could make an announcement about it? Or were they too interested in what the social media reaction would be first? 🤔

Seem the typical big 4x4 with a trailer driver (big could/does have two meanings :))
Bit like recently when I called out a very able (looking) women who parked in the disable car park ; left the elderly person in the car ; then went shopping in Bunnings , and was able to push a trolley of purchased goods to the car .
And there were normal car parks a just a few spots up along that same row where I parked
Now those selfish sorts piss me off also.
