    The people on the front-line, to a greater or lesser extent know a bit about a lot. The people in the infringement bureau usually know a lot more about their bit. One would certainly expect this would produce at least some sort of standard of consistency and is a good backstop for those feeling their infringement was unjustified or incorrect.

    We're allowed to use any bus lane that doesn't have the word "ONLY" on the sign. Had this explained to me when I had a previous ticket waved because it wasn't there.

    Good stuff, always argue to the point and most of the time after a couple of letters they cancel (as long as you have good reason for your actions).

    I remember a while back I got a $200 fine for the rego in my car having slipped out of the window. Fuck me when after one letter I sent to them explaining the poor design of such a pocket that allows rego slips to slide out during regular cornering and they cancelled it straight away advising me I should seek out a new pocket free of charge of course.
