    Who’s been ordered to moved on when parked

    A number of posters on the Kombi site have posted that they have been ordered to move on after parking beside the road to get some sleep.

    I know this is a NO NO in Byron Bay but I have never had it happen to me and over thirty plus years, I’ve stopped hundreds of times, day and night in NSW, VIC and QLD.

    Has anyone here ever had any problems?

    yep, I just flashed my HC liscence and stated I was complying with the mandated 8 hour break as laid down by the heavy transport industry and that moving on was contrary to the guiding regulations, Can I go back to sleep now?

    Well it's obvious Tim...

    Why would they let a Kombi take up space that would be used by a better class of vehicle.

    Ordered on by whom? Police or Council Rangers?

    I was parked in a suburban main road on a Sunday morning within the conditions displayed on the signs. About an hour after I parked some City of Sydney Rangers came along and clamped no standing signs over the parking signs, then told me if I left my car there it would be booked. They did book the cars on either side of me.

    How can this be acceptable, there were no "Special Event" signs anywhere. So if I were legally parked when I arrived and remained there under the conditions displayed at the time of arrival, then the Council shouldn't have a leg to stand on. If it were to be some sort of special event on Sunday the no standing Sunday should have been up on Saturday evening.

    So sort of like being moved on!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Tried to park out side a cool store in Sydney during the olimpic games.
    Told by part time cop(security) that I could not park there as to close to games media centre.
    After a small discusion I sleept 100mt. up the road.(just past his area).
    When I woke up there where 5 trucks there.
    Ask the part timer what's the go, well...
    His words "They said **** you, shut the door and crawled in the back of their trucks."
    Apperantly the army had to walk the snifer dogs past every hour.

    Next trip 4 days latter, parking allowed

    A lot of NSW councils have parking restrictions at beachside parking areas to stop people camping overnight.
