I put in the machine $1 think I get a hour. At the time I did not check the ticket I just placed it on my dash thinking I've done the right thing. "thinking" see what happens when you think............grrrr. 50 cent = 30 mins + 50 cents = 1 hour. I put in $1 so should be 1 hours.I'll let you know whens the date you can come and weave your magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 5m 2d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 17/06/13 10:03 AM Share Posted 17/06/13 10:03 AM If the park was mark P30min, no matter how much you put in it only allows 30 minutes.. Same with P4 and P8 (4 and 8 hours).. No matter how much money you put in ticket is limited to the max time set.. It's a bit stupid.. But unfortunately it's how it goes.. I still completely disagree with a friggin $99 fine for what equated to a 50cent mistake.. If you take it to court I'd state that you are fully prepared to pay the 50cents..

So they can keep that and all is even again.It's not as if I didn't get a ticket then I can understand. it was a simple miss understanding and something im willing to fight for. Money hungry bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the did what you recommend mickus they wouldn't get an ear bushing from the public..........bastards!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,093 Member For: 16y 8m 24d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 17/06/13 11:17 AM Share Posted 17/06/13 11:17 AM Guys... hate to be the bearer of bad news...You break the rules, you pay the fine. The police don't give any leeway on speeders (2km/h... hahaha, negligible), why should parking rules that are infringed upon be let go?As much as I hate getting parking fines, I've never got one that wasn't deserved...The other side of the coin: That person who gives out the fine has a quota to meet, and if they don't meet it regularly, they don't have a job at all (sh*t job). I know what I'd be doing If I was in their situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
