     With parking meters being everywhere now and most are ticket dispencing types how do you pay for parking? By that I mean you buy the ticket and on a car you put the ticket on the dash on the passengers side. Now there is no where on a bike you could put it with out someone stealing it and putting it in their car. So whats the story?

    Otherwise I spoke with a parking officer in Sydney about 12 months ago. They stated that you are required to buy the ticket and just hold onto it as placing it anywhere on the bike allows theft of ticket. If you then receive a fine in the mail you send the ticket in and the fine is cancelled.

    After I discussed the inconvenience with this arrangement she pretty much in a round about way said that they don;t generally ticket bikes for time limits for that very reason.

    One of the few advantages in Vic. is that we are permitted to park on footpaths as close as poss. to the curb....but I notice lately that scooters and boy racers are parking close to shops etc. so I s'pose they'll repeal this advantage soon using blind walkers as an example.
    When you mention this to the arrogant wankers you get flipped off....one of these days....

    I see lots of dickheads parking right where people walk - I'm glad they get ticketed, otherwise we'll all loose footpath parking.
