A woman has taken to Facebook to vent after her brother copped a seemingly “ridiculous” parking fine for stopping at his cousin’s driveway to do a school drop-off. 

The woman told news.com.au her brother had parked his car in the driveway of a family member in the Perth suburb of Byford for five to ten minutes. 

The woman lashed out, saying the fine he copped last week was unfair. 

She said since the driveways in the Byford area are “too small”, her brother had tried to keep his car off the footpath but it was almost impossible for the big vehicle. 

While the ute struggled to fit in the driveway, the woman added pedestrians were still able to pass the vehicle. 

She said the parking ranger could have knocked on the door and he would have happily obliged to move the vehicle, but within mere minutes he was given a $60 fine. 

The woman shared a photo of the ute on social media, with the rear of the vehicle somewhat encroaching on to the footpath.

The aggravated sister recalled the fine as “a bit ridiculous”, as her brother had left enough room for pedestrians to get past. 

“This really grinds my gears. Driveways in Byford are too small for four wheel drives,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.

“He tried his best to be out of the way, all street parking was taken. You can still get around the car.

“If they don’t want people parking on footpaths they should allow for more street parking.

“Byford is full of big cars, maybe they should start accommodating them!

“I understand why you can’t park on footpaths, but there was plenty of room to get even a wheelchair around the car.”

She said the family have complained to their local council, who have committed to bring up the issue at the next council meeting.
