Driver's bizarre reason for blocking cyclist on footpath
A cyclist has filmed the bizarre moment a woman blocked a footpath before claiming she didn’t have to move because she owned the street.
Rider Su Yin Khoo shared the clip filmed in Auckland, New Zealand, to Twitter after confronting the woman on Thursday along Viaduct Harbour Avenue.
When asking the woman to move her white Mercedes, she refuses to do so, telling Ms Khoo the path belonged to her.
“You know what, I actually am legally allowed to park here, I own the whole Viaduct,” the driver says.
As Ms Khoo tries to remonstrate with the woman, she is labelled “rude” before the woman pulls out her phone to start filming the interaction.
Ms Khoo backs down from the escalating encounter and cycles around the woman’s vehicle as she claims she’s waiting for the bollards to be lowered.
According to Auckland Transport, motorists in the city who park a motor vehicle on a footpath or cycle path can face a fine of $40.
