Default Unorthodox parking
Was at Southport Park Shopping Centre on the Gold Coast today and this woman demonstrated unique driving abilities and determination to get to the trolleys first ...

Probably had it in drive instead of reverse and took off. Have seen 2 cars in the last year go forward down some stairs and through the glass sliding doors of local supermarket

Yeah I can understand having it in drive and tapping the accelerator and tapping the trolley bay, but that individual would surely have had to plant their foot to get it like me that? It honestly stuns me, I've never seen it happen or had it happen to me.

Is that within the parking rules for that place? Not staying with in the lines as well so more than one space taken up!! She may start a trend if they dont stop the practice.

Stop distorting the truth... it's obvious the car was overdue for an oil change and she didn't own a pair of ramps.
