    NSW legislation

    Rule 213 (2)
    2) Before leaving the vehicle, the driver must apply the parking brake effectively or, if weather conditions (for example, snow) would prevent the effective operation of the parking brake, effectively restrain the motor vehicle’s movement in another way.

    Also photos look like it’s parked on a road. If that’s the case then
    NSW legislation

    208 (5)
    If the driver does not park in a parking bay, the driver must position the vehicle at least 1 metre from the closest point of any vehicle in front of it and any vehicle behind it.


    whoops, just saw you were from Vic but the road rules in these instances are the same

    get a copy of the video first, even if you film their screen before stating any of this or else they may claim the car in front reversed into you

    these days, I think I would prefer one like yours instead of mine. Nothing at all wrong with the Passat, I just feel like it would be fun to own a type R wagon
