Advice on contesting a bullshit parking ticket?

[Max Preload]

Won't be hard to get off of, especially considering I didn't do anything wrong in the first place!

Oh, to be so young and naïve again!

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever actually had an infringement noticed attached to their bike? I just can't imagine it'd be the smartest/most effective way of issuing tickets, seeing as (most) bikes are entirely open to the environment with not many places to stick silly bits of paper.

OH Yes! Tje only reason I found out about the ticket was that my bike was the only purple ZZR around. Someone had picked up the ticket and gave it to me like a week later becasue they recognised my bike. Otherwise first I would have heard would have been angry letters in the mail!
Actually got $800 worth of tickets in 2 days (WOF and rego on Friday AND Monday), but got off both sets both times.

Let us know how this one pans out....

Would it be so hard for them to carry rubber bands to bung the things on our grips or something?

(Of course, they'd charge us for them...)

I recieved a parking invoice,what pissed my wife was she was getting another ticket from meter as the one existing had expired,as she went to the car the parking guy was issueing an invoice.She wrote in and although she had the expired ticket,new ticket and invoice the council said because she had stayed over the time on first ticket she was deemed to be guilty of parking crime.

They are correct. You cannot simply keep feeding the meter - the vehicle must be moved before another pay'n'display can be purchased and used.

Agree but the pay n display limit was say 60mins,meter paid for 20mins,came back with docket for another 60mins(should've shifted car technically).Only $12 so no biggy,and to be true have been on other side of ledger with many expired tickets and no fine,can't complain.

The meter maids here take photos.... ask if they have a photo of the "problem" before you send in your one, (altered for effect, of course.... )

Sometimes. One of the cars at work was issued a ticket for expired WoF. The Warrant was current and they couldn't find their photo. I wanted to suggest to the Council staff that they left the recreational chemicals until after work but I was too polite

When I emailed the local council about failing to display my rego, (and it was right behind the plate) I said the officer was clearly incompetent (those words) and there were no excuses (he had to look at my plate to note my details, and bikes only have one plate). I said the officer was wasting everyone's time, resources etc etc etc... I wasn't happy. It probably took him 5 minutes to write a stupid ticket, then I have to spend my time following it up, wasting my time, my company's (company vehicle) etc... They needed to be taught a lesson...
