Mobility Parking

Linda from Takanini

Hi Neighbours
I am concerned about the number of people who park in designated mobility parking spaces (marked with a wheelchair on the space and/or a sign). As a Carer for my mum I take her out and about every now and then not just appointments, however it becomes difficult when people park in these spaces without the tag in their car.
Recently, I took my mum to an appointment however we couldn't park in the alloted space because a young mum with a baby had parked there. When I approached her she said she was allowed to park there because she had a baby and abused me somewhat. There is a difference between a wheelchair and baby carriage.
Just a note to please be mindful of the people in our community who, for whatever reason, required these spaces kept clear for them.
We pay for the privilege of being able to use these spaces. Please be mindful of people who really need them.
Thank you

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
