Snap judgment for parking

Oh so people with wheelchairs don't need access to the foot path you selfish so and so!

Copy, Paste - insert heading of story?

RTFA...

Nanny State....blah blah blah, moving to Australia...blah blah blah.

Watch out for that green grass over the fence, sometimes it just looks shiny because someone else has already p***ed on it.

in response to #3. It is a pretty simple concept to just obey simple road rules including parking. If people whinge about getting a parking ticket then they should look at their own stupid behaviour. Would the parking ticket have been issued if the person had parked normally? No. You have a typical "let's find someone else to blame for my own stupid behaviour" attitude. The problem is, no one else exists in your own self centre world.

Parking tickets should be renamed as a stupidity tax.

I vote for arbitary tasering of idiot posters. You obviously deserve it!

How about this idea, if YOU see rubbish laying around the street - PICK IT UP! Why expect the council to employ people to pick up residents litter??? That just smacks of filthy lazyness.

Yes Fred, everything that goes wrong in your life is Helen's fault. Car got a ticket? Helen. Comment not allowed on Stuff? Helen. Favourite sweets not being made anymore? Helen. Not enough hot water? Helen. Monster under the bed? Helen. That car cutting you off? Helen. The Warriors/Phoenix/All Blacks losing? Helen. Your favourite tv show being cancelled? Helen. Stain on your shirt? Helen. Spam email? Helen. Telemarketers? Helen. Punks on your lawn? Helen. Giant meteor destroying all life on Earth? Helen.

What the parking wardens should do is publish a book or website of the "best" pictures of dumbass parks people do. Would be hilarious and make loads!!!

I received a ticket for failing to display my registration, which was at the time current. I had removed it to show at the post office as I thought I may have needed it when renewing. WCC produced a photo & were very rude in the whole process, turned out registered or not I was being fined for not displaying & had to forfeit the cash. So I guess a photo works in theory (for revenue gathering) but not for the sake of common sense.... scum monkeys

I had a photo taken of my car when it was issued with a ticket, I was parked on a very busy road partly on the footpath as it wasn't safe to park fully on the road. There was 2/3 of the footpath available to walk on and also a large area of grass so not blocking footpath access at all. The photo they took was at such a strange angle down the side of the car that it looked like there was absolutely no space for pedestrians to get past so was totally biased and not at all a good representation of the situation. I think if you get a ticket then take your own photos as well if you can.

Er - no wonder that people are moving to Australia? Read the story a little more closely - "a similar scheme is used in Australia". The reason people are going to Australia seems to be for higher wages, the social situation in both countries appears to be very similar (perhaps this is why Kiwis feel comfortable about living there?).
