Parking too close to a driveway and got $110 ticket

William from Hillcrest

Last Saturday, someone got a $110 ticket for parking too close to my neighbour's driveway. Even my neighbour persuaded the officer issuing a warning ticket rather than a fine ticket, the officer insisted that it was an infringement and towed the car to make it one metre away from the driveway. Of course, it made no one happy, neither the car owner, nor my neighbour.

I'd like to share this with my neighbours: (from www.drivingtests.co.nz...)

Driveways and vehicle entrances
Parking closer than 1m to a vehicle entrance makes it more difficult for a vehicle to see up the road when they exit (thus risking an accident), and more difficult for a vehicle to turn into the exit, particularly a long vehicle that might need to swing out wide to get in. You could be towed or ticketed. If a person cannot get into their driveway they can call the council and have your vehicle removed at your expense.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
