Now I know my sooking wont get me anywhere, but I want to see what others think.

I went to the car this morning to see that I had a ticket, I though WTF, I haven't done anything wrong!

So I read the ticket and apparently its against the law to park your car faceing the "wrong direction". What a load of crap!

I can understand if it was on a major road, that very busy, but I parked in the street that I live in, in a residentual area, that is quite as hell and only has a primary school opposite it.

Its a small street, verging on a lane, and I was parked in my spot outside my house. The only reason I parked in the "wrong direction" was because I entered from the other end and just parked straight up in my spot. Basically I CBF'd doing a 3 point turn. No harm done.

I dont see how my car facing the other direction makes any difference to anything. It takes up the same amount of space even if it was facing the other way and was in its alloted space.

How does it break any laws? Its not harming anyone, its plainly visible (if you cant see it then you shouldn't have a licence).

It seems to be another one of those crap laws to get a few extra bucks. Its only $65 but Ive been having a good run of late.

And to top it off, it was given at 8:44AM, what kind of loser gives out that kind of ticket at that time, and how the hell checks this crap in residentual areas!

If it was on a main street then obviously Id never to do as you would have to cross onto the wrong side...lol...but in a tiny residentual area what difference does it make!

Im bloody fuming...what a waste, should have parked in a loading zone! :
