write a letter mate, give it a shot, either they will change the rego over, or very low chance they will excuse it.
but i got ushered in to one of the multilevel car parks at the docklands... free parking, the little non english speaking guy said at the stand. about 10cars followed.
where i parked was a blank reserved sign, but with no rego written on it. the whole level had this, with some with rego written down, thought i was in the clear.
got out went down to the street asked the guy is it ok if we park anywhere, even in the blank reserved sections his response. ' yes yes anywhere park '.
had dinner got back to the car, parking fine. ' parking in a reserved park '. every car had it, you could heard the F words echoing through the car park.
rang the council about it, they told me to write a letter and do nothing about the fine until we get a response. that was in Jan, and havent heard a thing about it or received a new fine, so i guess all in the good
try it, see what happens.
