Dam, so no way of paying $100 then it seems.. 

[JAS-25T]

that's only like 1.2kgs in coins. not really enough to make a mess or cause a hassle.

$100 for a parking fine rip off

At my old trade school the parking fines werent enforced by the council so if u didnt pay nothing would happen and if u kicked up a stink theyd just say dont worry about it [emoji23]

[Odium]

And the fact that the only person you're inconveniencing is poor Alicia who works behind the desk. She's actually got a face, unlike the faceless organisation you're trying to annoy.

Hate council fines.

Last one I got was for parking at Mordialloc Pier, going to the meter to pay and it saying Out of Order. Took a photo of it, went to the beach for 45 minutes, came back to a ticket on my car (and 3/4 of the dozen cars parked near me).

Rang them up the next day to contest it, saying that their meter was broken and all I got back was "We don't have a record of your name reporting the meter fault yesterday between 5:00 and 6:00pm". Was given an email address to contest the fine, response I got from my email was that I could take it to court if I wanted. Which they know is not viable to do over an $80 fine, they just deliberately make it hard to contest even if they know they're in the wrong, because its easier to just pay it... Congratulations dodgy parking inspector, even if 3 or 4 people do successfully contest it, they've still for $500 in fines for the afternoons work.

 

TL;DR:  Leigh, put a hundred dollars worth of coins into a sock and start swinging it. You'll get better results. Snap chat it for the lols.

Yeah but Alicia works for the council, so f**k Alicia. 

 

But yeah if your case that's pretty f**ked, I'm just annoyed because I was like 10 mins over or some shit, and the only reason for being there was for work visiting a customer. Should just add it to their bill lel

Question: if i was to pay a parking fine with my piggy bank, 100$ of coins can they refuse payment if i rock up to the councils office and pay in person? The reminder noticed stated that I can pay in person. Ric? 

Appealed it now, will see what they come back with if not they'll get some coins and a turd on their doorstep 

as already noted, they don't have to accept it

Birds, Moh and Borci all got GTR's.... odie, greg, johnno, pat all got skylines. only one evo around, and its pretty much for sale. 

Balance has been brought to VWL. now just need balance to return to oil prices.

 

Birds, use 88E profits to make your GTR look better (offsets arent the strongest, but dat dish. also a bargain for classic 5 spoke wheels. mental money for OZ or Koenings):

What about me it isn't fair (i have a skyline too)

[Leroy Peterson]

I may be talking shit but I think there is actually a parking fine defense for situations where you were working and got held up for reasons outside your control etc. if you can get a letter from the client. Falls in the same category as car broken down and unable to move it. I remember reading something about that long ago when I was contesting.

I always contest if there's the slightest loophole available. Stonnington of all councils let me off one because I looked like I had tried to do the right thing and pay for my parking (was a 15 minute max shopping zone and I thought it was the paid parking per hour zone).

Glen Waverley's council, Monash or whatever it is, absolute dream boats...a truck was blocking the only sign that said the whole 100 space carpark had a time limit to it, so I never saw it and they didn't accept this as an appeal to the fine. No other signage in the whole lot

Anyway, the point is, 88e prolly cost you more money than the parking fine.
