A motorist who drove at a woman twice during a car park rage incident at the Sunshine Coast has been fined and given parking advice.
Jeffrey Kenneth Williams, a 50-year-old bricklayer, was searching for a parking space at Eumundi on February 24 when he came across a woman standing in a free car space, the Sunshine Coast Daily reported.

It is believed the woman had jumped out of her friend's car and was standing in the spot to hold it while her friend did a U-turn during the town's midweek markets.
The Maroochydore Magistrates Court heard Mr Williams then drove at the woman and touched her legs twice with his car, which forced her to step backwards.
Upon being told by his lawyer that Williams hadn't remembered striking the woman, magistrate Haydn Stjernqvist said the defendant had a "selective memory", the Sunshine Coast Daily reported.
Williams pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, was fined $800 and given sage advice.
"If you want a car park, get to the markets a bit earlier," Magistrate Stjernqvist said.
