停车风波
在加拿大,停车是一个无本万利的生意,在司机与业主之间发生矛盾也就不足为奇了。我从这几年的亲身经历,总结一下其中的利害关系,以便后来者有所借鉴。
昨天下午,女儿从美国放假回来;由于没有行李,我就准备直接在出口接她。按照飞机的落地时间和我的行车距离,我把出发时间精确到了分钟;可还是在飞机的落地同一分钟到达了出口,只好去外面绕圈;看到有别的司机打着闪灯,停在了路边,我也照做了。没想到,还不到5分钟,来了一辆鸣着笛、闪着等的车(不是警车),把大家都赶走了;我只好再去转圈。这么转几圈下来的油钱,与十几块钱的停车费相比,还差多少?联想到停车大楼是某华人承包的,如果大家都不去停车,他还赚什么呢?可小民们那点微薄的收入,又有谁来可怜呢?
在学校门口,这种事每天都在上演着。在Woodlands中学门口,有两个弯道,其中一个被六根柱子堵死,不准通行;旁边还是一个图书馆,停车位大大的;可每到下午放学时间,图书馆就派专人守在入口,问你是接学生的呢还是去图书馆的。另一边倒是有校方划定的停车场,可是一到放学时间,十几辆校巴会把路堵住,谁也不能通行。如此不近人情的做法,谁有得到了好处呢?
我在几年前刚刚搬进一座公寓时,遇到管理方要冲洗地下室(停车场),让大家把车在9点之前开出去。公寓对面是一个小商场,我就把车停到了那里。可等到去取车时,发现车窗上被人贴了一张30元的罚单!以后呢,大楼再洗地时,我就再也不挪车了。
更早以前,刚来加拿大那会儿,我的汽车培训班的老师跟全班说起了他的亲身经历。他家路边有一段不准停车,可有一次他有急事回家取东西,不用5分钟的。可就在这5分钟里,一个开着Parking Enforcement车的家伙,把车停在了远处,再走到他家门口,贴上一张罚单,然后撒腿就跑!他气得,恨不得拿枪冲上去,射那个家伙!
市政府在停车罚单这一块有很大的收益,也考这养活了一批人;可是,就不能先考虑一下司机们的方便,让人心服吗?

“就不能先考虑一下司机们的方便?” 不可以!!!!! 因为这是规矩!!!!!!! 虽然”停车罚单这一块有很大的收益,养活了一大批人” 是事实, 但它确实有存在的必要. 因为有太多象博主和他朋友这样的人.
如果允许停车, 估计你连车位都找不到, 你还是无法停车
