Not a bad $25 souvenir
UPDATE: I was looking at this post again and was thinking “Wow, you got a parking ticket. That’s. . . exciting”. Well this is my very first parking ticket either over here or in Australia. I left my car overnight in some open space car park and apparently it ‘closed’ at 2am, which to me seemed rather stupid. Any signs indicating this in the carpark weren’t very noticeable. Maybe I should have contacted one of those companies that specialises in trying to get your parking ticket revoked? It’s not like there is a shortage of them over here.
Mind you though, this isn’t my first car-related offense. Over in Australia I’ve been caught twice for speeding – one for rushing to a soccer game and the other for coasting down a hill in a stupid 50 km/h zone (and probably listening to DnB at the time), just after those zones got introduced. Over here, even though I regularly go 10 miles/h over the speed limit, I’m pretty safe because there are still people passing me. I was a bit worried that I’d get caught again when I went back to Oz recently as I was still driving like I would be on the I-95.
