Just wondering if someone can give me advice on what to do.

Ok here is the story.

I recieved a penalty notice today (19/11/05) in the mail, might of been in the mailbox late (18/11/05) and it states that at 10.15pm on 05/11/05 at Park Drive, Bondi Beach I 'disobey no stopping sign' which had a post date of 16/11/05 (11 days after the event).

now I don't remember doing anything wrong 2 weeks ago and I have been a careful driver for 12 years with only some minor speeding fines over the last 3 years. but never ran a red light or a stop sign or anything like that.

the notice states that I have to pay $175 within 21 days of the date of service. I presume this is the date I recieved the notice right?

Also if I was stopped in a no stopping zone(which I don't think I was) wouldn't they put the notice on my car instead of sending it by mail?

The only thing that might of happened is that bondi carpark turns into a 'no stopping' zone after 10pm, I don't go to bondi often, can anyone confirm this?

thanks for any information on what I should do.

now in the inner city and eastern suburbs it is common practice for a car with inspectors in it to drive to areas to check them, and if on the way they see illegaly parked cars they wont stop they will just write down the details and send the fine out, my dad has been caught for that at the end of my street in the same way :)

i cant remember about the carpark.

yaf28f, are you talking about the car park between the beach and the pavillion? (The car park with the boom gates). Or is it the carpark directly behind the pavillion with the walkway bridges?

Let me know exaclty where it was and I'll go check it out the signs alittle later today for you cause i live direct across from the beach.

thanks Archie.

Here is where I parked, it was only alittle past 10pm. so the time 10.15 might be right, but it was pretty scummy of them to give such a little leway and didn't even put it on my windscreen.

But I didn't see any boom gates there and had no problems getting out eastwards.

great map by the way, earth google?

hehe yeah, google earths pretty handy.

Didn't get a chance to have a look last night, but i'll swing by the carpark tonight, and take a snap of any signs for you to make sure. I actually thought there are parking meters in that area but i'm not hundred percent since I have a parking permit for bondi so i usually don't take much notice.

I'll let you know later tonight.

Sorry to break it to you dude, but if you were down there after 10pm then I have bad news for you... after ten it seems to be a no stopping zone... Unless you can get an alibi...

heres a few shots of the area.....

anyway, pm sent

Hey thanks for the time and help Archie,

I guess I'll just have to fork over the money and next time read the signs better instead of just paying the maximum parking.

Still don't understand why they didn't just put the ticket on my window instead of sending it to me by mail, they must be getting really lazy and just sitting at the exit and writing out details.

Hope there is no demerit points lost for "stopping in a no stopping zone"

I was in Bondi a few Saturday nights ago and i parked in the carpark that is at the bottom of the rd that goes up to the lookout.. A parking inspector car came past and the men politely told me that it was a no-stopping zone and that they write down everyone's number plates and send $175 fines in the mail. They told me that if i moved my car straight away they wouldnt fine me.. so of course i moved it.. but they fined everyone else there..

I believe that all the carparks in Bondi are no-stopping zones after 10, but i think they need better signs!

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
