It was actually 15 minutes going on the first post.
and how long should the parking cop wait, 16 minutes, 17, 18, 20... exactly when should the ticket be issued..... and then what about the poor guy who gets booked 1 minute after that magic time....


I know,,, the sign says no standing 10pm to 7am, so how about the tickets get issued between 10pm and 7am... what a revolutionary idea

Pay the fine and get over it.
I just got a $150 fine and 2 pts because my bloody tyres were on the white line of a stop light camera, not over but just on the line...
By law you have to be behind the line, i was 80mm too far forwards.
And you think you were pi$$ed off.

3 Options. If you want to forget it? The first option is to pay it ASAP then its out of your mind.

Appeal it, Maybe a good option given your fine is quite inacurate in details. There is a bloke in Vic that is a millionare & Retired that specializes in getting people off inacurate filled out fines for the love of it. Not sure where he is and obviously law enforcements and Lawyers dont make much noise about him.

Let it go and it will accumulate extra costs. Bad option perhaps, though a recent amnesty due to so many unpaid fines in Vic shows that it annoys them and they could not cope and virtually gave up in the end.

i'll remember that as you're on your way to the car and the meter runs out as you can see the vehicle and there is the parking inspector writing you a ticket for 20 secs
during peak periods i think 3 mins is enough grace but 10pm at ngiht it just makes no sense to have a no standing zone then

You obviously missed my post about clearways for shift work load areas...

Zetec... Wasn't City of Maribyrnong, was it? I got done out the front of my OWN HOUSE the other week! Ok, so I didn't have my permit on my window, as 99% of the time I park in my driveway (I had pulled up & ran in to retrieve my work keys, 5 mins at most) Anyhow, I wrote a nice letter explaining it all...
Response was basically... BAD LUCK!
(And guess WHO was one of the main instigators for permit parking, to try & keep the Anglers Tavern traffic out of my street?) :

It was indeed. Good old City of Maribyrnong. Sounds like it's not in isolation.

$105 is like 10 pizzas at Punchonellos!!! That's serious money!!!
