ENERGY drink company Red Bull has launched an internal investigation after one of their Brisbane vehicles was snapped parked in a disabled parking bay.

Glenn Azar posted the photo on Facebook this week after it was taken at the Quest apartments complex at Breakfast Creek on Sunday morning.

“I just saw the car pull in there and a couple of young girls go into the café for a feed,” he said.

“There were about 20 car parks in that whole car park that were all free. I guess it was the closest one to the café for them.”

Mr Azar was appalled at the driver’s decision to park in the disabled bay.

“I think it’s pretty lazy to be honest. And as a business owner, I think it’s pretty poor when you’re driving around in such a heavily marketed vehicle like that, who’s whole ad campaign is how it gives you wings and you’re parking in the car park closest to the café you can - even if it’s a disabled one. I think it’s crazy.”

Mr Azar said he saw the young women drive into the car park initially but didn’t see where they’d parked until he went to leave.

“I overheard them talking as they came in about having a big night so I’m guessing they did something the night before,” he said.

A spokeswoman for Red Bull Australia said they had taken immediate action after being told about the photo.

“Red Bull Australia is extremely disappointed that this incident has occurred and take this matter very seriously,” she said.

“We have initiated an internal investigation in relation to this matter and can confirm that the appropriate course of action will be taken.”
