The letter from N. Werner about parking restrictions at Australia Post mailboxes (Your View, November 6) is a good example of someone reaching a conclusion without considering all the facts or collecting data.
The reason for No Parking signs by mailboxes is to allow people to post letters. It is legal to stop there. If one pays attention, one will see people stopping to post letters throughout the day.
On the western side of Jannali station the only place where it is legal to drop or pick up a passenger is by the mailbox. It's the same at shopping centres.
"I'll get the car, dear. You wait by the mailbox and I'll pick you up."
