Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Are there any rules around parking on the wrong side of the street (e.g. facing the wrong direction)?
I don’t know why but it makes me irrationally annoyed when I see people do this.

It’s prohibited to parallel park facing the wrong way.
Also to reverse into angled parking.
Source: talked to the person writing the infringement notices.
Now that’s interesting, didn’t know about the reversing into angled parking either!
It’s technically the same thing. You’re exiting the car park facing the wrong way (or on the wrong side of the road).
Not half as enraging as people parking over the footpath.
Oh yeah 100%. Or those that think it’s OK to block driveways, if it’s just a “short while”
In England I saw it all the time.
