192101 2003-11-15 02:08:00 Bad luck. Did the ticket blow away, or was it another vehicle with a similar registration?
You are entitled to defend any ticket which means a defended hearing in the District Court. People tend to forget they have this right.
Too late for you Nomad.

192102 2003-11-15 03:38:00 I've heard worse stories. One person stands in front of his car while after ordering takeaways, goes inside to pickup order after the 10secs I received a fine and the guy just walks off ....

We were in a restaurant and we put in like 45mins in the metre. The metre was coin operated. A person happened to be in the restaurant as well told us, we better move the car as the tyre was marked. He mentions they don't care how much money u put in they will mark it and ticket is 10min after each ...

Sometimes I wonder why do I bother putting in money...

192103 2003-11-15 04:05:00 It was standard practice when I worked at Joseph Lucas's main factory in Birmingham and there was only street parking, for an apprentice to go along and clean off the chalk marks that over zealous cops had put on tyres . This was in the 1950s for goodness sake when traffic was minimal . Even worse the road between the factories on either side was regarded as 'belonging' to Joe Lucas .

The buildings had always been linked by a brick structure bridge . It was a bit of fun really .

192104 2003-11-15 07:08:00 what used to be interesting was when i was working in auckland CBD i used to get tickets but they had the wrong rego number on it . it was another persons ticket that the owner so kindy put on my windscreen .

mayby the fact that i was often parked on the footpath, loading zones etc for long periods (which is legal in certain situtions) that used to piss some people off :)
