Do Not Go To Coles/safeway Carpark (behind Chapel St) Today

[humsup34]

pulled into coles/safeway carpark today and was confronted by the sheriff

i was in my girlfreinds car which aparently had $1650 in unpaid citylink fines

the thing is there was a glitch in the system and the fines were never received in the mail

they wanted to tow the car on the spot, and she never even knew of the fines.

it is all from 7 trips on citylink over a 2 month span

just a warning... they are checking all rego's in the carpark

i know this may sound like a silly question but in particular with citylink fines (excluding speeding tickets etc), is this directed at the owner or the rego. So assuming if you sold the car will it still show in the system the upaid fines if they type up the rego of your new car?

When you say "glitch in the system" did the sheriff advise you of this or is this your assumption.

Sorry for the interrogation cause a person from my work "apparently" has $18,000 worth of citylink fines. A bit hard to believe but she did come to work in tears.

the letters never arrived.... hence the glitch...

it would be the owned of the rego at the time

eastlink is f*ked, i got a fine 12 months after for $300 odd, for using it 9am the sunday it became tolled, the car was on the eastlink register aswel,

if there wasnt monkey operating it, they coulda just charged the account that has the rego link, $2 instead of $300 a year later!!

Coles Carpark behind Chapel was a major hoon hotspot about 4-5 years ago then it got clean after a major crackdown. Was there a few weeks ago and saw that its started to flare up abit but no where near the kaos of previous years.

From what I could tell mostly 16 - 19 year olds that weren't around (and didnt have a license) for the major crackdown that happened there a few years back.

that why they put the concrete barriers in?

i was there about 3-4months i think. They only car spot i knew that would be available, was bout midnight. And the place was half full of imports and other various done-up cars, some people just cruising around the car park, lots of people just hanging around... i was thinking jeebus, it's a coles car park guys, get a life. Just parked as far away as possible, but would have only left the car for say 20mins (dropping friends off)

at least pick a carpark that does have 11ty million concrete barriers
