Bumping The Curb Again

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

140620093101It would happen again sooner or later. The front of my Honda Stream bumper got nicked by a curb that was just slightly too high, and now there is a streak of black plastic revealed in the front left corner of the bumper. Unlike the previous incident which scratched mostly just the underside of the bumper, this time around the scratch is slightly more obvious from the front.

Today Is Wheel Clamp Day

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

120220091835_2Four vehicles pictured here have been wheel clamped. Many more were seen elsewhere in the car park. The car park enforcement van was still around, with the officers busy wheel clamping more cars. I’m impressed by the size of their arsenal of wheel clamping devices. I just wonder how many wheel clamps they have altogether. How many cars can they handle?

Why Ban Valet Services

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

070220091791I wonder why ban valet services? This HDB car park is perpetually overcrowded. I imagine it is a win-win-win situation. Drivers are happy. Valet service providers get to earn a few bucks. Ultimately HDB also benefits from more income from collecting more car park charges. So I’m puzzled why HDB doesn’t welcome valet services, so long as the valet services don’t do anything unfair like reserving or hogging lots.

Revival of Parking Idiots

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Me on my Powerbook G4Yeah. Parking Idiots is back as parkingidiotsg.blogspot.com. We get to air our parking grouses somewhere again! I would have preferred an Idiot Drivers blog site, because a good many of my driving grouses are with other drivers’ driving habits, not just about their parking skills. But alas, you’d have to take a picture right? How to take a picture while you’re driving? So okay then, from a practical point of view, I suppose we could just focus on parking idiots first for now. Please help make this site a success! :)

Shaming Idiotic Drivers

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Parking IdiotI wonder what has happened with Parking Idiots blog? Some drivers just need to be shamed publicly. I thought this site was doing a great thing but it doesn’t seem to have had any activity in over a year.

Perhaps the recent festive season and holidaying has enabled me to travel around Singapore more frequently, so with more driving and more parking I get more opportunities to run into idiotic drivers. What some drivers do are just incomprehensible. Sometimes it seems like they’re out to frustrate other drivers than anything else.

Pictured here, a car “parallel parking” across two vertical parking lots. It is just simply ridiculous.
