He parked across two disabled parking spaces. He really shouldn't have done that.

 

He should’ve thought twice before parking his Mercedes across two disabled parking spots.

Parking illegally in a disabled spot is a dodgy move at the best of times. But parking needlessly across TWO of them? That’s pretty unforgivable.

Which is why Brisbane woman Nicole Tishler has started calling out drivers who chose to park across the parking spaces reserved for those with special permits.

On Wednesday, she posted a photo to Facebook of a green Mercedes parked across two of the disabled parking bays outside her beauty salon.

“Check out this loser. Not only 1 disabled park but 2,” beautician Ms Tisher wrote.

“Then he informed me I was scumbag for taking the photo,” she said of the green-shirted man pictured next to the car.

She told news.com.au she had confronted him before taking the picture — but he challenged her, saying: “I don’t care, dob me in.”

So she did, and now the photo has been shared more than 19,000 times.

But Tishler, 44, didn’t stop there.

The business owner — whose nephew has physical disabilities, and whose son and grandson have mental disabilities — followed up by photographing a truck similarly parked across the two disabled bays at the Kingston shopping centre.

Awkwardly for the driver, the vehicle was clearly branded with his employer’s logo — and the company, The Distributors Brisbane, soon found out.

The wholesaler criticised the driver’s act as “unacceptable and totally inexcusable” and said that it was “able to deal with” him following the incident.

“We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologise for his actions and to state categorically that they in no way reflect the core values and standards of this company or the majority of its hard working and dedicated staff,” the company added in a Facebook post.

Ms Tishler told news.com.au she intends to keep catching out drivers who park across the bays.

“I’m going to keep doing it, of course I am,” she said.

“Every time I see one I’m going to jump up, take a photo and blast it on Facebook.

“I think my clients will be OK with that because they notice it too. It’s just not right.”

We couldn’t agree more.
