Webmaster's Note: This car has already been submitted twice before! Repeat offender. Is it a reflection on the driver, or on the shop owner that does nothing about it? Or maybe a bit of both?

The taxi company was contacted and their general manager is going to look into it. He said:
"If you have any additional information on the date and time of this incident I would welcome the receipt of that so we can identify the driver concerned at the time and address the matter with them directly.

I may not buy more in one go, but I guarantee you I spend as much, if not more, than the average punter does in a week.

its the shop owner. He doesnt care about disabled people. I told his boy about this very problem and he told me to go shop somewhere else if i didnt like it.
At some point, when are you going to call the police? You say it's been 3 times.. after the 4th? Don't rely on ever getting cooperation from the business owners. It's always in one ear and out the other. I don't think it's their responsibility anyway, atleast I've never read anything in ways of businesses to enforce. Supposedly that's what the police are for.
jazzyjeff, in New Zealand, the police isn't allowed to issue parking tickets on "private property". The grounds of the supermarket are considered private property. Under NZ law, it is the shop owner's responsibility to monitor and enforce disability parking.
A few weeks ago I told a man in a big american car he shouldnt park his car in a handicap space at melodys.
He said if I took a picture of his car I would get into trouble. He was very rude.
I wrote a letter to the manager about it but I dont know what happened.
I work at melodys and to b honest no we dont really care about those sorts of things its the least of our worries haha good 4 a laugh tho we get really boared at work nothing like a good drama tho hehe
Headchog, I am not surprised that you don't care about issues with disability parking. It is obvious by the number of repeated offenses.
get a fuken life u retard
get a fuken life theres more problems in the world then people parking in the handicapped space outside new world loser I suggest u get a cat
Where would the disabled community be if there hadn't
been so many people early on who cared about access. Access was our first issue as a community, and our development and progress is dependent on continued access. Parking is a big issue along these lines. There may be "bigger" ones in the sense of emotional ones, etc, but if you can't park, you can't be very visible, and if you lose your visibility, you lose your power to address other issues. Seems pretty big to me :)
I no longer shop at New World. Its unfortunate people like pincone have to revert to such childish abuse to make a point if that is what they were attempting.
