Mate not impressed with parking ticket

Quote:
One Melbourne resident was so displeased with the circumstances around his parking ticket he fired off the hilarious letter above. This Aussie's like Mad Max only instead of a Ford Falcon, he drives a rhetoric-typing keyboard. - Jalopnik.

response from the parking authority:






so much win

I bet a good laugh for a man whose job is to sit behind a table and read letters is worth the withdrawal.

I think disputing a parking ticket is fairly easy in vnacouver?
My friend was ticked by Diamond something.. for 58$.
he was 100% guility but he wrote an email for appeal saying that he cant pay that ridiculous mamount. they countered with something like 36$ish and he emailed them again and was able to get it down to 16$ ish.

ridiculous i didnt know it was this easy... happened fairly recently

Makes me wish I would have kept my letter to the superintendent of motor vehicles, after I got suspended for 3 months for getting a no N-sign ticket. I'm sure it was written something like that but without the swears

It ended well too, they cancelled the suspension, and eventually changed the law so the no N-sign is written under a different section. When it first came out, not having an N was no different than driving without prescription glasses...

They don't allow the meter maids to cancel or withdraw a ticket after it is printed for good reason.

Some of the cops still ticket you with "driving contrary to restrictions."

my friend used to be a meter maid... She said that they can cancel the ticket... they just tell you that so they don't have to deal with it..

this was 2 years ago though.. so maybe they changed the system..

Well, dealing with private parking companies is a completely different matter... they can do whatever they want at their discretion. Given the fact that there's no way they can force you to pay a ticket and there's limited repercussions of not paying the ticket, if they can get you to pay even a reduced amount, they'll take it, instead of having it drag on and threatening to send it to collections, which in the end still won't likely get them any money.

When dealing with the City of Vancouver, they give every license plate one free courtesy cancellation, so it wouldn't have been necessary to write such a long-winded letter like the above... although of course it's still a waste of the free cancellation for no good reason...

the new policy for vancouver is that there is no longer a one time cancellation, you'd have to catch the officer who gave you the ticket on the street and then it is still their discretion, happened to a friend very recently. the one time cancellation by phone is gone.
