‘I've been forced to do it’ - Breakfast’s Hayley admits she’s stood in a car park to reserve a spot

September 25, 2018

Video was shot recently of an Auckland woman and child standing in a spot – and it got the Breakfast crew talking.

Following yesterday's 1 NEWS NOW story about car parks being 'reserved' by pedestrians blocking vehicles' access, TVNZ 1's Breakfast hosts have - unsurprisingly - taken different sides on the issue.

As video of a stand-off between a vehicle and pedestrian at Auckland's St Lukes Mall went viral , the topic was of course discussed among the Breakfast cast.

"I think it's terrible," began Haley Holt.

"It's a really, really bad thing to do - but I've been forced to do it.

"I was forced to stand there, and I did have people going past me and beeping at me. It's horrible, I'll never do it again."

Matty McLean said that although he'd never been forced to take such action, he was unsure about what he'd do if the situation ever arose.

"You know me, I'm very susceptible to peer pressure, and I could easily be talked into standing there," he said.

"We all know what it is like, driving around this city, trying to find a car park, and sometimes it is the most infuriating thing for your day.

"I kind of get it."

Meanwhile, Daniel Faitaua didn't mince his words for anyone who decides to stand in a car-park with a tongue-in-cheek:

"You can not stand in a car park. A car park is designed for a vehicle.

"If that was me, I'd be reversing right back into her."
