BAD parkers beware — your lazy or haphazard practices could soon find you named and shamed by parking vigilantes on social media.

Facebook sites, including Sydney Crap Parkers and Drivers, contain hundreds of photographs uploaded by frustrated motorists tired of the discourteous and illegal parking or fellow drivers.

Bad parking examples include taking up two or more spaces in carparks, parking across driveways and laneways, parking too close to other vehicles and parking too close to pedestrian crossings and intersections.

Sydney Crap Parkers and Drivers creator Peter Deane said on his Facebook page that the site was set up to shame bad drivers.

“The roads are a public place. You need to be respectful of, and courteous to, all road users. After all, you might need that respect and courtesy extended to yourself one day,” he said.

Motorists’ group NRMA said bad parkers needed to think of other road users before making a decision to park in an inappropriate place.

“Parking requires the same approach as driving and that is being courteous,” NRMA spokesman Peter Khoury said.

“There is nothing more frustrating than driving around a busy shopping centre and finding an inconsiderate driver has taken up two parking spaces. The NRMA will soon be releasing a video on our Safer Driving School website with tips on reverse and parallel parking.”

A City of Sydney spokesman said council encourages all road users to act responsibly. “Parking safely and legally ensures the efficient movement of traffic and avoids endangering or inconveniencing other road users,” the spokesman said.

New figures show authorities collect $340 in parking fines every minute from NSW motorists.

Local councils, police and state government agencies write 3660 parking infringement notices every day, latest statistics from the Office of State Revenue show.

City of Sydney collects about $38 million in parking fines, with its rangers writing about 865 tickets each day.
