Car parking for free, but needs a bike

Hey, if you are willing to commit fraud the worlds your lobster. Why not just print out some disabled stickers and park wherever the fuck you want?

Bloody cagers.

People are so entitled now. Let's stick it to the man.

How long before they stop bikes parking for free as a result? Thanks genius.

I have a little scam going which gives me free, unlimited parking in a nearby car parking building.
This is a car park building that charges cars, but bikes are free.
Car parking under 30 mins is free (covers the situation where you drive in, can't find an empty park, so leave again)

Drive in, take ticket, park car.
Walk away. Come back two weeks later (or whatever period of time).
Ride bike in, take ticket, park bike, walk to car, drive out, use the bike ticket to put into the machine (ticket is under 30 mins old, so parking is free)

This is in Hamilton.

I need to park a car in Auckland CBD (near Viaduct) overnight, I don't have a house to mortgage to pay for Auckland parking.
I'll have a bike handy. It's a friends car.
So, my question for the audience, can I run the same scam in any of the Auckland CBD car parks ?

all good until you strike a NPR system.

I think this forum has run its course.

Once or twice ... you may get away with it.

But ... remember there will be cameras. If some staff member picks up the idea of an intentional effort to scam free parking ... with camera evidence to prove it ... you well may pay more than just parking fees.
