Double parking

Around my home in KL, especially after 8pm, you will see the stretch of roadside has plenty of cars. We usually park on the roadside and this does not obstruct the double lane traffic. However, there were few families love to double park the lane and only allow one car to slip through! This is soooo ridiculous.

If you are well educated, rich, or civic minded, you will not doing such a thing. There are lanes in between the houses where they can park the car. It's few more foot steps from their home, but, NO! not convenient I assumed. Now everytime when I need to pass through those houses, I practically have to ZIGZAG on the street like PACMAN!

Today, after breakfast at a nearby shop. I saw a man getting off from his car hurriedly and double park his car next to my car. I rushed over because I need to get out from the parking slot. I told him I need to get out and he said to me why don't you reverse and get out. I pointed my fingers at few parking slots nearby and told him, those are CAR PARKS, is it not possible that you do not block the traffic and other vehicles which parked here??!!!!

He gave me the pissed off look but he drove away. Sometimes, even if I get beaten up, it's worth to voice out the right. If you don't voice out, people think it's ALRIGHT to do it! I am planning to do something to those car near my home. Probably I will take pictures and send it to DBKL (townhall) so they can take actions, if only they willing to.
