cars blocking motorbike’s parking bay

ok, this is related to my post yesterday topic ‘snap! and kena saman.’.

i was complaining about cars that park in front of motorbike parking lots and thus BLOCKED the bike from moving out.

look at the picture on the left. the proof is right there. this was taken at king street, near to bishop street junction. the motorbike parking lots are in front of the side of a kopi-tiam that faced bishop street (don’t know what is the name of that kopi-tiam). and at that side there are tables and chairs for the people to eat and drink from the coffee shop. if i’m not mistaken most of those idiots who parks there are the one who hop in to the coffee shop, and take a seat at this side, thus they can see their car while eating.

i managed to take this photo from a distant, as i said i dare not go to near to take. the no. plate is not so visible but on zooming, i can see the no. plate is PCOPCQ 6876. notice a the 2nd bike from the foreground, the one with a kind of rope over the seat? well, that is my chaly bike. notice how the car is park? notice there is just a small space between the car and the parking lots? luckily that time, the car was not exactly in front of my bike so i can move out, albiet some difficulty… but imagine the bikes say 2 spaces away from my bike, where the car is park right in front of it…. how do the bike move out? see, this is what i meant!

even if the car does not block the bike parking lots, are there are no bikes park there, already the car is parking illegally. if park illegally, the driver’s business lah… but when she/he block the space of the parking lots, making it impossible for them to move out, it’s certainly our (bikers) business.

i don’t mind so much if say i want to park but i can’t because a stupid car is blocking the parking lot, i cannot enter BUT i mind very much when i had already parked, and the stupid car came to park next to the parking lot, behind my bike, thus blocking me from moving out. i experienced this many times. when i can’t move out, i had to stand there and wait and wait, or try to slowly inch my bike out, which is nearly impossible.

yes i understand that, that’s why i said i don’t mind so much if i am unable to park in a motorbike parking bay due to a car being parked there. but if i already parked, and a car parked next (or in front or behind) to my bike and blocked my exit, isn’t the driver of the car a stupid no courtesy brainless jerk? well yes, your poetic justice comes in… what if a bike park next to a car, and the car is unable to move out. well, my friend, a bike can easily be pushed away but a car cannot be pushed away!

i don’t care! i’m fed up already! i will try to take some close up and clear picture of car/s blocking bike’s parking lots, preventing my bike from moving out again and this time submit to panducermat. and complained of two offences they made – illegal parking and BLOCKING MY POOR CHALY FROM EXITING!! GRRR!!
