I received a $108 ticket for parking in a loading zone. I dont remember getting the ticket and it certainly never had anything under the wipers.

All that aside... I drive an '85 corolla hatch and on the ticket it states sedan. I have been told by people around the traps that any errors on the ticket can mean that you can argue it and win. Is this so? Also do they take pictures? Can I request them? Is there any other way out of it?

Fuk, you weren't in Melbourne were you?

Already tried that one. Hatch and Sedan are considered the same thing for the purpose of VicRoads vehicle registration.

Reckon you'll have no chance. Follow Seven's advice if you can be fucked - personally I'd rather pay the $108 than mess around like that!

I am waiting for a red light ticket. First one.

I had a 7.25am plane to catch after arriving back in Melbourne at 1.30am on a flight. Tired as fuck, set the alarm clock to 5.45am instead of pm - at 6.37am I was still in bed. The camera that flashed me was the last set of traffic lights going into the airport *sigh*, at 7.10am. Amazingly I didn't miss the flight! (Flight to do the Overland Track!)

they dont even leave a tickete these days, jsut take a photo and send u a ticket in the mail

Not in VIC they don't. You still get a ticket.

They definitely take pictures.

That's all I know

Really? because I got a parking ticket in brisbane CBD about 3 months ago and didnt pay it, have heard nothing to this day. They missed 1 digit of my rego so they can't find me that way.

Until the next time you're pulled over and they arrest you for outstanding tickets :)

we got a parking ticket in charlotte st on a day when i know i wasnt in charlotte st.
on the back of the fine is a fax number to fax fine to if you want to dispute it.
we did that 3 times. everytime, within a week, the fine would come back in the mail.
ended up getting over it and paying it.
fuck the bcc. useless smug cunts.

^ i concur without all the voilent threats but.

another thing that annoys, is old courier cunts having a 45 minute lunch in there van/truck in a 20 minute loading zone.
thank god im back out in the suburbs and dont do cbd atm.

I was so close to blasting this old fat bitch yesterday for parking in a mothers/babys parking at garden city yesterday afternoon. She was too lazy to park 50meteres down the carpark so took that one.

Everytime I walk past a disabled or baby carpark, there is barely one car with babyseat or disable sticker on the window. These people should be named and shamed over the shopping centre PA system and also be given a ticket.

LOL fuckoff.

Mothers/baby parking is fucking stupid and shouldn't even exist, let alone be enforced.

Comparing those spots to disabled parking is a joke.

yeah ill park in mothers parking. if asked. 'im a real motherfucker so fuck off ' !!!

I used to park in people that would used Mail Zones.

Some fat bitch parked in the one at Newfarm, has a massive 2m x 1m sign that says "AUST POST VEHICLES ONLY, TOW AWAY ZONE, 24/7" directly in front of your windscreen and the ground is marked with white/red zigzag lines.

It was my lunch break so I parked her and went away for 45 minutes, came back and she was FURIOUS, had a complete spaz out while I just laughed on the inside.

I wouldn't ever damage someones property though.

edit: Yeah, fuck BMWs. I could safely say that 90% of the cars that park in our mail zones would be BMW's and 99% are luxury cars, total cunts with no respect.

Eldubya = Lonewolf btw.

No but changing your name is GAAAAAAY

Hahaha, you need to get out more dude ....

Yeah I ignore pram spots as well.

Fuckin' oath I would have! Done it before so it's nothing new. Being a Brisbane based multiple drop delivery driver for 6 years makes me a little bit hot headed when it comes to loading zones. Everytime some uppity cocksmoker in a BMW or a Lexus parks in a loading zone to sit down with his mates and drink a skinny latte in some faggot infested la-de-da coffee shop in West End, they make my job a LOT harder not to mention much more dangerous as well.

Wait, you are admitting to keying peoples cars? I know they are dickheads for doing what they did but fuck man it makes you no better than them if you key someones personal propertey. Why not comes up with another way to teach people a lesson, like reporting them to a parking inspector or something.

Also agree, pram spots are a giant waste of space. Parents with baby seats just park there even when they don't have their kids anyway, just gets abused.

fpot, i thought changing your name was GAAAAAAY?

GG. What a bunch of toolbags everyone is on the internet.

It's not like QGL has ever been any different. Packed full of trolls and people with retarded viewpoints on life who come here to ran because they know it's the only place anyone will listen.

fpot, i thought changing your name was GAAAAAAY?

Only when it's done willingly.

I would have keyed your shit and left you a nice little note under your wiper

Fuck off princess. Finish high school you oxygen starved palsy cunt! Wouldn'e be so many filled loading zones if homeless cunts like you stoped sleeping in them. Hope your van explodes you oxygenarian dole bludging welfare rapeing prison candidate.

haha!!! or maybe you should learn to deal with these situations in what most people might consider as socially acceptable behaviour

I'd hazard a guess that not being able to control one's emotions resulting in you keying someone's car because it is parked in a loading zone shows you are a equally retarded prick.

I don't understand why you would key the car? How does that help the situation?

i'm still waiting to find out what an oxygenarian is that's the oddest insult of the bunch

like why would he even post? Is he trying to educate the QGL community on courteous parking? Or is it an actual threat specific to my car?

only a space cadet would post such a hollow threat in response to the OP

Hmm, i didn't realize what the pram etiquette was.. Next time i'm down the shops i'm parking in them.

I think you should change your name back, it was more fitting before dumb cunt

I parked on Elizabeth street a few weeks ago at about 11pm as there were a whole slew of cars there. The next morning lifted my bonnet and found a fine. It was dated for January 2003 and about 7pm. Totally forgot about it until this thread So I figure i shouldn't have any issues getting away with that right?

Fuck off princess. Finish high school you oxygen starved palsy cunt! Wouldn'e be so many fucking problems if homeless cunts like you stoped trying to sleep in them. Hope your penis explodes you oxygenarian dick bludgeoning child molesting prison candidate. 

Just wanted to post usage of the phrase. Sent this to some guy hitting on a mentally undtable girl who is awesome and is dating for years a friend of mine. Ps: she's super hot. Always the case Eh?

That's shit. Traffic fines are soo much more expensive than they should be.

I gotta get off qgl and keep studying or I'll end up driving commercial vehicles instead of paying for lw's welfare

i parked at UQ once where it had faded white lines (you know the corner brackets one indicating that it was a park) - paid my $3 or whatever it was to park there (down by the ovals on the road next to the river)...came back after my day at uni (i was doing an internship there, so was 8.30-5) and i had a parking fine for $100. didn't have my camera or a camera in my phone because I had a replacement old phone, so i fumed about it, because it looked like a park (and i actually paid to park).

had to go to uni (at QUT) that night, so I came back the next morning to take a picture of the park to fight the fine and the facilities people had painted fresh, brand new yellow lines striped through the park. was pretty annoyed...uni rejected my letter, saying that it was always like that/supposed to not be a park and as I didn't have any proof that was that
