Q for parking lot, has the rules changed?
-
Yes ... it's all timing and luck... unless you and him are waiting at the same side and car move out in between you both, then he'll get the lot, as he's there first.
But in this case, you both are waiting at diff. side.
If I'm you, I would reverse BACK and let him drove out. :boogie: This also prevent the driver at the back to move in .... :stompfeet: -

what if the car behind you moved forward and prevented you from moving back far enough for the car to get out? -

I'm saying this only if the car beside me is moving out, then the most I need to move is half my car's length backward.Eddow:

But if I see a moving out car from my rear mirror, then of course I cannot move that far to it. In this case, the waiting car on my right may also may noticed it by then.
If you are waiting on the left and infront of the car that is moving out, the driver will find it hard to turn left /out cos you're blocking it. And by moving too front(so that the car can move out), may afraid that some ppl might not see that you've been waiting there. :frustrated: Isn't the best solution is to move back, so he can move out easily. I think that's logic... Well, when it comes to driving, use our brain and be flexible at the situation. -
The practice is flexible, but since your competition is at the other end and you are nearer, I think most would agree that your are more eligble for that lot. It is all luck and being at the right place at the right time.

Solution:
Get an in-car camera...
in situations like these, you can prove that he was far far away and any dispute can be resolved at the police station with the video.
New kind of insurance... for yourself.
Cheers! -
Usually the person who’s closer to the vacant lot should get it. You can’t lay claim to an entire row of parking just because you’ve been waiting longest. It’s just your luck if you were waiting at the wrong end of the row.

if the driver is out to make life difficult, it doesn't matter what u have.
bringing such dispute to police will be a waste of everyone's time. -

the car coming out was blocked by the front half of my car, but before I could reverse, the car behind move up right behind the rear of my car preventing me from reversing. I have no choice but move forward, and the car behind took the lot. -
?! This guy waited almost one hour for a carpark lot… faint…
i presume he also kept his engine on so he can "chiong" for a lot once it becomes available? Frankly i can’t stand such drivers… causing noise and air pollution with their car engines.
Bishan carpark is nearly always crowded. When i go there i just go straight up to the rooftop and most of the time there would be some empty lots. Can’t understand why there are people who would rather waste their own time sitting in the car for almost an hour, and also too lazy to walk just a flight of stairs more. -
live and let live when in a car park
life is more wonderful than a parking lot
