Nsw Disability Parking Fine

[ASPiRE :3]

So this afternoon I was parked in a disabled spot to drop off my mum and grandfather. My grandfather is a holder of a disabled parking permit and was present at the time of being dropped off. In between the time of waiting for my mum and grandfather, a parking ranger came up to my window and asked who I was waiting and I replied with "my granddad". He then wondered off to do his business and I continued on to wait for the others. Later on, only my mum returned as my grandfather was elsewhere. Now here's my problem: As I was leaving the parking spot, the parking ranger came back around and saw that it was only my mum who was in the car with me. He walked past, turned around and proceeded to take a photo of my number plate and it's quite obvious that I could be fined as this guy was a dick. I do not believe I have done anything wrong.

Is there any chance that I could be fined? If so, how would I contest it?

My Mum has a Disability Card for her car. One day she parked her car in the Disabled Parking bay without the card in the window > got a ticket.

She went and saw the local MP. I think it was the State MP > she fixed it.

I do not believe I have done anything wrong.

If by wrong, you mean illegal, then you should only hold that belief if you've read up on the terms and conditions associated with the use of the permit. If you have not educated yourself in that manner, then your belief is merely based on how you would like things to be, or how you imagine them to be. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, so if you have inadvertently used the permit illegally, then you'll probably have to cop the fine and chalk it up to a learning experience.

In that case, what you're saying is that it is illegal to drop off the permit holder and then leave without him/her? This is what I've done and I don't think I've broken any laws in doing so.

You will get a ticket if you do not have a permit on your window regardless if you have a disabled person in the car. Personal experience, not me, but my friend and If I recall it was $500 or therebouts. Although she got one on the spot and the ranger woudnt budge besides her grandma in a wheelchair being present. Not sure what the go with the photo taking is.
