Hi guys I have an issue with the council fining my car for parking over the time limit (Banyule council).
I parked my car for 2 hours from 8.30am to 10.30am a few weeks ago, in a 2 hour spot.
I then moved my car and parked in a different 2 hour spot at 10.30, on the opposite side of the road, a few car spots down from original spot. I came back at 12pm only to find a parking fine, stipulating that I had parked over the time limit. I noticed then that I had a mark on my wheel at the 6 o'clock position, so probably around 9.30 am. The fine says parked from. 9.30 to 12.07pm which is not true.
I wrote in to the council saying that I was parked in a different area from 8.30 to 10.30, and I had moved the car after that. To which they responded with a generic "the vehicle was noted to be parked for a period longer than the time indicated" and then continued to show me my options (I.e. Pay the fine).
What can I do in this case? Given it's a legitimate error of the officer?
How many threads like this do we need?
How many self entitled idiots are on the forum? At least one per person I suspect, we could be doing this for a while.
