Sunshine Coast man fined for parking in his own driveway
A Queensland man is furious after he returned home to find a $94 ticket on his car – which was parked in his own driveway.
Reese Gerhard, who lives in the Sunshine Coast suburb of Birtinya, was slapped with the hefty fine on Sunday.
He was issued the ticket for 'restricting access to the driveway,' ABC Sunshine Coast reports.

A picture shows his car's rear was extending slightly over the boundary of his driveway.
Mr Gerhard says he has called the Sunshine Coast Regional Council numerous times, but was told he must pay the fine or dispute it in court.
'Our whole street got done, if you were parked on the nature strip or exceeding the mailbox, you got hit,' he told the Sunshine Coast Daily.
'It is just wrong. I've parked my car as close to my garage door as possible and it still goes past my letterbox.'
