Parking complainer gets no sympathy

Re: the letter Vancouver parking company should go back home, June 26:

Let’s get out the violins, this poor baby is unable to park correctly and wants to blame it on someone else. By blaming the people who enforce the law for your inconsideration, disregard for the law and other people, you are trying to divert attention from something that is clearly your fault.

The ticket has nothing to do with the location of the head office of the company issuing the ticket, but everything to do with your inability to park a vehicle properly. Why not go back to driving school and learn the rules of the road and the etiquette of using a motor vehicle.

There are far too many people in this world, who want to blame everyone but themselves. Remember when you point a finger of blame at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you.

Those white lines in a parking lot or ramp are not put there to decorate the black pavement; they are put there for a very logical reason, which you apparently do not understand.

They are there so that a maximum number of vehicles may be parked in an organized manner.

If everyone parked that four inches into someone else’s parking spot can you imagine the chaos which would be created? No, I guess you can’t, or you would have parked between the lines.

Remember, it is not just the four inches of your tire encroaching on another’s parking spot, but it could be your fender and exterior mirror as well, and they would be way beyond the four inches into the next spot.

I humbly suggest you take responsibility for your actions, pay the toll, get on with your life and take some driving lessons where you will learn to park properly. Bill Peckham, Kelowna
