Parking ticket issue for left-hand drive

My husband was in a parking lot the other day, using a magic hand to get a parking ticket.(I wonder if it's called a "grab stick.")I bought a The parking ticket machines in regular parking lots are for right-hand drive only.To get a parking ticket for a left-hand drive car, you have to park the car every time and get out to get it.This can be quite troublesome.

I'm not sure I've ever seen aI sometimes see left-hand drive cars using magic hands andI was a little curious to see how useful it would be, so I decided to take this opportunity to try it myself. By the way, this is the magic hand that my husband bought from Amazon.

The length is about 80 cm, which is quite long in this way, but it can be folded into two pieces for storage.

If it is as compact as this, it won't get in the way of bringing it into the car.

Actually, I'd use it like shooting a pistol.(I've never fired a pistol before.)I grabbed a bunch of stuff to try it out.The grip was quite strong and easy to use.

My husband used these magic hands as soon as they arrived.

I've been meaning to buy a magic hand for a while now at the parking lot I use to commute to work where I have a parking pass, but never got around to it.The new one is foldable, so it can be stored discreetly and doesn't spoil the atmosphere in the car.I decided on this one from
In fact, it works pretty well. But you have to pull your car closer to the ticket machine than you think to reach it. If you don't pull up close enough, you have to lean over to get the ticket.

He said.

Unlike my husband, I am a rather clumsy type of person, so I was a little apprehensive about whether I could do it... but I had to take the Boxster for a ride the other day, so I decided to try it then.

I just didn't want to inconvenience the cars behind me if it didn't work out.We decided to try it in a nearby parking lot that also has a ticketing machine for left-hand drive vehicles.

Comfort of using magic hand

I tried bringing it into the car with the magic hand extended, but this is quite long and in the way.

I still like the way it folds up. When folded, it went into the gap behind the passenger seat so I could carry it out of the way. So, off we went.

It took me about 15 minutes to get to the parking lot I wanted, but when I looked at the ticket machine, I saw that it saidPress the ticketing button to pick up the parking ticket.It was "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. So I had to press the ticketing button with my magic hand, too.

It would just be too hard to keep my foot off the brake when I leaned forward.Just to be sure, I pulled on the P-brake, then extended my magic hand and pressed the green button.was surprisingly easy to push.

After that, I was able to grab a parking ticket without incident.(I wanted to take a picture of him grabbing it, but there was a car coming up behind me, so I decided not to.)I panicked because there was a car following me and the parking ticket I took with my magic hand went somewhere. After parking, I hurriedly searched inside the car, and found it had fallen out next to the passenger seat. Thank goodness...

Next time, when I take it with my magic hand, I'll immediately put it somewhere where I can find it (-_-)

And on the way back, while holding the parking ticket in my magic hand, I managed to insert it.

However, if the parking lot does not have a pre-payment machine, I would have to get out of the car and operate the machine in order to put money in.

I am not used to using the magic hand yet, so I was a bit nervous, but once I get used to it, I think I will be able to use it without any problems. However, I still think that a right-hand drive car would be better for parking in a Japanese parking lot....

      Oooh, they're the same thing!
      I have only used it once, but I thought it was pretty easy to grab.

      I see...!
      That is good to hear.
      Sure is easier to bring to hand with the roof open!

      As you say, if the roof is closed, to get the parking ticket to you.
      It's difficult because my arms are at a weird angle ^^;

      As for the contact with the electric seat when you move it, yes, that's true...
      We will try to be careful in our home.

      Thank you very much!
