Scooter driver slams selfish stranger over unbelievable parking act at North Bondi

A frustrated scooter rider has been left fuming after a motorist moved her bike that she had parked on the curb side. 

Claudia Cortis Brown, 38, had parked her Piaggio Fly scooter near her home on Wallis Parade at North Bondi, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. 

She returned to her bike to find it missing where she had left it before she discovered it had been moved next to a camper van.

A motorist had earlier moved the scooter and taken up the free space with their own car. 

Ms Brown could have been at risk of being fined as the scooter was left double parked next to the van. 

The 38-year-old woman, who has lived in the area for years, slammed the move as the ‘most selfishly ridiculous thing’ she had ever seen. 

She said that her scooter, which has been moved several times, is often targeted by motorists who don’t live in the area in a bid to find parking spots that they don’t have to pay for. 

‘People need to pay to park here and it’s expensive, but in this street you can park for free,’ Ms Brown told Yahoo. 

‘For that reason, I think it could be someone not from the neighbourhood.’ 

Ms Brown said it was the worst act that anyone had committed on her scooter, which she said was forcibly removed by someone else as she locked the bike after it was parked.

‘It was difficult for the cars driving by, they needed to avoid the scooter,’ she said.

A Waverly Council spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia scooters can be parked in a spot where a car is allowed to use a vacant parking space.  

‘A scooter cannot share the one car space where individual spaces are designated by line markings, the spokesperson said. 

‘Vehicles, (cars or otherwise) cannot legally double-park alongside another vehicle.’

Motorists are not allowed to double park on roads across NSW and those caught committing the offence, will be fined $302 according to rule 189 of the Road Rules Act, 2014.
