Dent And Fine

[GD2ILA]

Is it just me or something but i really hate Footscray, two weeks ago i got a fine for waiting for a parking spot (apparently your not allowed to stop on that street for any reason) and i come back to my car yesterday to find a small dent right in the center of my passenger side door . WTF don't people give a sh!t about other peoples property anymore, i'm always careful when i open my door regardless of what make/brand/age of the car next to me and i'm especially careful when it's windy i actually hold my door ti make sure it doesn't swing from the wind. So be warned becareful where you pull over in Foots as there are cameras which fine you.

does anyone else hate Footscray or any other street/area for what eva reason.

[KURAUN]

its any area nowadays, people dont give a fuck about anyone else's property

like recently my oldre brother was hit from behind in his work ute, the guy that hit him tried to blame him for the accident, then left false details

it was only lucky that he got the guys rego.... when the insurance called him at work he said no-one by that name worked there, but when the cops called funny how there was a guy by that name

Yeh it's just the way it is people dont give a Fk and yeh footscrazy are hardcore got camera for parking fines

I just walk around these days...fuck driving...much safer with the muggers than you are with local councils / other road users.

How can you hate somewhere and the rules if you are the one breaking them?

Put car in no standing zone, get fined = fair enough.

Reason is irrelevant.

lol. do those muggers really exist?

[Birds]

Probably not, if they did, the police would probably target them, right?

i guess, import owners are murderers anyway. driving too fast. all the time, going 60 in a 60 zone...

But to get a fine for waiting for a car to leave, to me isn't fair. The guy was in his car driving out of the parking spot, if i stopped and was waiting for someone to come back to their car than fair enough. Camera's in those back streets are only for revenue raising, council's are looking for new ways to make money.

I wouldnt say breaking the law unless waiting for someone to come out of a parking spot is illegal, is it??

[Miguelone]

Have you tried appealing the fine you received or did you just complain about it on the internet instead?

If the area is signed as NO STANDING, then that's exactly what it means - NO STANDING!

There is no excuse you can use. It's like making up a reason for doing 65 in a 60 zone to get out of a speeding fine.

Or being in a clearway and 3mins after the signed time, you have a fine & car is getting towed.

Whilst a lot of stuff is harsh - ye, they are road rules.

Melbourne is just shit and thats that.

Having been in europe for a while now and seeing everybody do what they want without consequences and without mayhem breaking out makes you see how sheltered and exploited we citizens are.

But yeah no point whining about it on the internet.

Well it is now, fine was on Byron Street Footscray. Didn't know i had a fine until my mum yelled at me for it (she's already paid it). For now on no more street parking.

Also there's white paint from the other car on my door where it hit, what brand of cut and polish should i buy also what strength?

Quite the draconian society you depict there...Not far from the truth when it suits those who benefit from it most.

[IOWNU]

Ahhh gold old Fu-Cray.

Here is a hint, don't trust other drivers there. The same applies for say, Box Hill or Springvale .

Indeed it is, and i think it's ridiculous.

But at the end of the day that's how it is, and it will never change.

Australians simply don't give enough of a shit to change this type of thing.

Everyone bags the French, but look what happened when they wanted to up the retirement age, they rioted!

We need that kinda passion here, but being a young country and so multi cultural, it'll never happen.

Buddy, count yourself lucky, My ute was written off last week when it was parked outside my house! Came out in the evening and the whole right hand side is damaged and the ute itself was even pushed forward and to the right one foot!
