I'm not having a go at you, I'm just reminding everyone that most laws are put in place for a reason.

From reading this thread, if I had a nature strip at my place, I'd be parking on it 24/7 just out of spite. What a load of rubbish. I think we should also ban all fires in fireplaces. Think of the birds that could become disoriented in the smoke and crash into telephone poles... |

Your right, the vehicle isn't parked on a 110km/h highway. It's parked on the nature strip blocking access to pedestrians and causing them to walk on the road instead of the footpath, thereby increasing the chance of them getting hit by an oncomming vehicle using the road. You could argue all day long that the driver of the car should have been more alert and braked etc. but at the end of the day a law has been put in place to allow for the majority to walk safely off the road by keeping nature strips clear of parked cars. It's not your opinion that matters in this case, it's the law and it was enforced correctly. In fact, the Ranger's have gone out of their way in this case to caution the vehicle owner - this is alot more than most councils would have done and proves in this case that it is not about "revenue raising" rather than keeping the nature strip clear.

My nature strip could hold two house blocks. The local council does mow it though, had to laugh when our neighbour mowed his last weekend, only the the council to come by a couple of days later...
Our other neighbour parked his double-B semi on his nature strip, and got it bogged during the last bit of rain. Made a real mess of the strip though.

Your not the same bloke that tried that with me in Mt Dandenong are you? I gave 3 warnings, after the 3rd I reserved my right to protect my property and removed you myself. Not my fault you disturbed my afternoon viewing of Cops and Road Wars. The fine was well worth the look of terror on your face, or was that your jocks riding half way up your back? It is a small world... hahaha

Not only that but most nature strips have bushy trees and shrubs which block views also, lift up concrete paths and invade pipeworks. The laws these days seem to cater for the idiots who have no responsibilities or their actions. Drivers need too watch for pedestrians but pedestrians need to watch for cars too |

can they book you for being on the 'nature' strip if you concrete it? I guess they'd have to prove that you concreted it, but if you shrug and say 'it was there one day!' then hey, free carpark

As mentioned earlier in this thread, the main reason for discouraging cars from parking on the nature strip is so that if the services located underneath (or above, if powerlines) require maintenance, the area is free of obstructions such as a 1.5 ton car.
Hell, I still do it though :P |

Just to make some more blood boil. :P
On my way home yesterday i counted 14 cars/trucks on the main road on the nature strip. And on my street another 3 cars parked out on the strip. All within a 2-3km range. And on my way home just this arvo, more than half still there, some not even moved from yesterday. I find it strange the 17 people didn't get the same talking to i got. Or maybe they just don't care about getting fined. And it seems to be everyone that usually parks out on the strip, not really uncommon around here. I just seem to be the only one avoiding a fine. The Mrs seems to think that maybe the garbage crew might have dobbed me in. Garbage was picked up friday morning, Rangers on the door step Saturday. Sort of makes sense.

Where said zealots are pushing public liability insurance premiums through the roof, and clogging up our courts for years with boundry and fence disputes and trip and slip cases... Where laws are introduced to protect the stupid (and ethically/morally corrupt) from themselves.. and councils and the authorities spend more time protecting their butts (and enforcing rediculous naturestrip laws) from being sued than doing constructive management..

This is what happens when the Govt get's too big, it get's greedy when it should remain small and serve/protect the people instead of it's corporate interests...
