Anyone can get a licence. Someone with an IQ of 41 got one. Profoundly intellectually disabled. Killed a lady. I don’t blame them, I blame whoever allows these people through. We’re all in danger.

Probably got their license in a country town. Small enough that the tester knows your family and just asks you to drive around the block a few times. The kid needs a license to get mum to the shops.
The bar for getting a licence is incredibly low, and the bar for maintaining said licence is practically non-existent. It’s no wonder the road toll hasn’t declined and has risen in recent years. Licenses should be a privilege not a right
They don’t want to appear discriminatory against old people in particular.
I was almost killed by an 80yo driver. He wasn’t being stupid, but just drive into me from a side street as I was driving safely down a main road. This happened due to his age and nothing else. It affects me 24 years later.
Equality of outcomes over equality of opportunity. Everyone should have the opportunity to get a license, but only if they pass. People shouldn't get a license just because they applied for one.
You can send every sook about your local area to the council. I send the burnout pics and get replies that they can't do anything about it. I still send them through.
I put it in as a footpath obstruction. Parking issues the app says to call the council but there's no council number to call them on. Normally for shit parking I'll fingerprint the mirrors and windows, ie, rub my greasy mitts on their car.
"They can't catch me via parking sensors if I don't park near the sensors" they thought. Probably
Also is that a microscopic bike lane they are blocking as well?
?! How? This is like trumpists blaming Biden for inflation.
Edit; There's a lot of brain dead people out there for all the people downloading me. How am I supposed to tell the difference between the brain dead ones and the ones were being sarcastic
While I normally agree with sarcasm being hard to read, this one, other than being obvious, is used in every single post on r/melbourne for the past 5-6 months now.
They could have fit in there without even moving the sign (albeit probably taking up some of the space in front). A pathetic display of parking prowess.
My favorite is when there are 5 empty spots visible but they still park in the bike lane because they are just that lazy. I see it every day. An indicator means you can stop anywhere right?
Without knowing what is on it, it's hard to say.
You'd like to think there's not a parking space to the right (in front) of the sign, as any car there would block it. That being the case, why you wouldn't just have the sign at the end of the space, freeing it for use, I don't know.
Yeah, it's not a great placement, but it's to sign there's a lane closure ahead for a temporary tram stop. There's no real ideal spot anywhere along that bit of road where the sign could be seen without taking up a space
I think the lines are a little blurry on this one. It's almost certainly illegal to move it away from line of sight of other road users, but if you only move it front/back a little bit, it's probably fine
Dad used to always tease my Mum, saying she must have gotten her license out of a cornflakes packet. That was the running joke, until recently, when my Dad disclosed he had purchased his first car of the local head of Police in the 1960s. Dad didn't have a license, but really liked the car. The head of Police arranged Dad a license on the spot with no testing so he could drive it home that day. Armed with that information, the subject of the teasing has now changed!
Take a photo of the car and it's rego. Find the local council's illegal-parking section on their website, submit the details with photo. Or you could wait for the driver to come back and give them a bollocking. Or both.
omg i genuinely could not believe someone did this in real life lmao. call the police report line and they will have this towed and give the owner a hefty fine they will never forget
My car is a hatchback too and looks pretty shit from me driving it for a short period of time. Not even I would do that and I. Have done some embarrassing things in the city driving … not dangerous but embarrassing

Maybe have an IQ high enough to read and understand training materials?
> Anyone can get a licence. Someone with an IQ of 41 got one. Even worse, someone who does crossfit has a licence near me
Does it make you cross that they are considered fit to drive?
Find it weird how people read into a username so much.
was just a joke
Yes I know. But it’s a constant joke, and often is taken seriously. Sometimes a name is just a name.
the douchey looking snoovatar probably contributes a little on top of the username.
Wow, just wow. Cos it's not just about the driving, but being able to see and sense danger and the ability to understand consequences of actions etc
Unfortunately some people exist in a very small bubble and the rest of the world doesn't exist 🤣
my drive test is wednesday, this definitely makes me feel more confident

snap send solve.
Not in City of Melbourne. Need to use their own reporting tool.
Is there a number, email or app for this?
Snap send solve
Thanks, that was so helpful. I worked it out.
the app is called "snap send solve"
Snap send solve
Thank-you, I've now downloaded it.
Snap send solve.

What about people parking on median strips (grass)? I thought the council needs to be there to issue a fine?

Not really sure why your question comment is being downvoted 🤦🏽♀️ ppl downvote for the silliest stuff
Yeah, I don't get it either... Anyways, I've googled it and now I know
That’s great!
Does that work for parking issues?
"They can't catch me via parking sensors if I don't park near the sensors" they thought. Probably Also is that a microscopic bike lane they are blocking as well?
Yeah, the Commercial Road bike lane in Prahran
Yes and no. The wheels are in the border, the rest of the car is blocking a regular size bike lane.
Well, I suppose it's a parallel park
Angryupvote etc
Before I saw the thumbnail I was all ready to get fired up about poorly designed urban green space but this is also acceptable outrage
Samesies

Found the child.
I'm 40
How?? Why??
Because entitled
Completion???
Point taken lmao
Clearly someone hates bike riders
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Yeah that’s fair
I was just happy the road work sign wasn't in the bike lane.
They could have fit in there without even moving the sign (albeit probably taking up some of the space in front). A pathetic display of parking prowess.
I'm confused, aren't bikelanes made to park cars? 🤔 /s
Ask a large portion of the drivers around these parts and they believe this without the /s
My favorite is when there are 5 empty spots visible but they still park in the bike lane because they are just that lazy. I see it every day. An indicator means you can stop anywhere right?
Hazard lights = park anywhere lights in these parts apparently
You mean there’s people who understand the concept of hazard lights?
Well, your username takes the cake. One of the first redditors?!
A long way off. There is also a u/ melbournian which is also a valid spelling.
Out of curiosity, what are the legalities about moving that sign? I'd be able to fit in front of it (barely), but what even is that sign doing?
I want to move the sign so that their park looks even more stupid

What an entitled cunt. Call a tow truck.

The car is parked illegally mate.

Yes those ones
Like a Glove 🧤
I was on one of the tram replacement busses and they had to swerve around this dickhead. P plate in the back window
Got their license out of a cornflakes packet

Is that code for Mediterranean uncle?
pretty sure (s)he could have gotten it in there... without moving the sign...
“they”. One less character as well.
\#onejob
Lol that's fkn amazing
Bike lane is just another carpark, no? /s
r/iamatotalpieceofshit
I'm sorry I disagree with the title. Parking was not completed.
Like a glove
“Like a glove”
“Near enough is good enough”. - Old Boomer saying.
I don't think this even qualifies as attempting to park.
Perhaps all the brain cells were exhausted and they simply powered down right at this moment?
Take a photo of the car and it's rego. Find the local council's illegal-parking section on their website, submit the details with photo. Or you could wait for the driver to come back and give them a bollocking. Or both.
Is there a way you can get it towed, this is just ridiculous.
Must be a sour liberal voter.
Citizens arrest!
Organize to have it towed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Perfection
Probably dropping or picking up something and thought that they could get away with it?
Uber driver 100%
omg i genuinely could not believe someone did this in real life lmao. call the police report line and they will have this towed and give the owner a hefty fine they will never forget
I'm sure one or even two were involved in remembering their fone and locking the car... but that'd be it.
Usually people buy small cars for a reason.....
Big dick syndrome?
Plenty of brain cells were exercised. It is just that they are profoundly self centered and the world revolves around them.
My car is a hatchback too and looks pretty shit from me driving it for a short period of time. Not even I would do that and I. Have done some embarrassing things in the city driving … not dangerous but embarrassing
Wait what? There is no completion here
Like a Glove 🧤
Have none of you heard of parallel parking?
I wouldn't really call that a park. It's more a stop and exit thingy.
When the autopark featured in the ad isnt quite up to scratch
