Grumpy: Why do drivers who get nicked for parking/speeding offences love to claim it's "money making" by the councils? Just don't speed, park illegally etc

Bloke on radio upset because he got nicked 10 times for parking illegally; he's usually avoided it by playing parking spot leapfrog with parking wardens, but they've changed the system and now he's fucked. Tough shit.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. In other news: Fire is hot, water is wet and dog shit ground into the tread of your shoes stinks and is really hard to move.

In Dunedin they used to deliberately target expired registration and WOF because that was $200/time. And they kept lists. No excuse, but true story.

Yeah, I've been ticketed for that. My own fault, should've kept a closer eye on it.

been ticketed for that, discovered they give you a grace period - time to renew your rego/WOF to waiv the fine so anyone in Ōtepoti = if get ticketed because that's lapsed, check out how much time you've got to renew before going by customer services to pay

Fuck around and find out, level 101

If only there was a way to avoid getting a parking ticket

Hard agree!

Car brain tells them that they should have zero infringements on their 'right' to operate their vehicles however they see fit 100% of the time.

Our students who drive here make it a hobby of bitching about it for parking illegally. You know you are not supposed to do it. Campus safety is a bit slow ticketing here, but when they get caught boy howdy call the waaahmbulance. 🚑 It's called consequences.

It seems to be a terribly difficult concept to grasp.
