Bad at parallel parking? Here’s how far you can legally park from the gutter

Gambar
Worried about rashing your wheels? Or perhaps you’re just a bit parking-challenged. Here’s how far you can legally park from the gutter. Photo: iStock/Yosuke Tanaka Parallel parking is often considered one of the most challenging tasks for new drivers to master. In fact, in 2022, RACQ conducted a survey that showed one in three learner drivers struggle with a parallel reverse park and one in two provisional drivers. A skyrocketing result compared to the next biggest worry for new drives: reverse right-angle parking, with 1 in 8 saying it was the biggest struggle. The concern likely comes from needing to think of multiple things at once: not hitting the car behind you, not hitting the car in front of you, not rashing your wheels, and, most importantly, not parking too far away from the gutter. With that being said, how far away from the gutter can you legally park? Photo: iStock/Yosuke Tanaka How far away from the gutter can you legally park? There is no exact dist...

Novated leasing puts more Australians behind the wheel of a new car

Gambar
If you’re looking for flexibility without the hassle, a novated lease offers the perfect way to drive away in a brand-new (or used) car without breaking the bank.  Sponsored by Oly With the opportunity to save on tax, a novated lease is a popular alternative to taking out a car loan or forking out a wad of cash upfront. Instead, a novated lease involves ‘salary sacrificing’, where your employer takes a regular payment straight out of your pay packet which could reduce your taxable income.  And, if you’re considering an electric car you could benefit from additional savings, thanks to government incentives such as the EV Discount.   When you take out a novated lease for an eligible electric car (i.e. EVs valued under $91,387 as of July 1, 2024, first held and used after July 1, 2022), you can pay for your electric car lease entirely with your pre-tax salary.     Novated leasing has been around in Australia for more than 36 years, and it’s es...
