Only about 4 years ago I drove to the ANZ in KW St and got a park on the curbside in Waymouth St, but these days just driving through the CBD is sheer hell! I've moved all my business and shopping entirely out of the CBD now.

Wouldn’t be practical from the hills - but plenty of People from the north park at Mawson lakes and then get the free train into the city

Came back, drove again to pick up pooch, unregistered and uninsured - $1,100
Checked letterbox second day back, saw first fine. Three weeks later, second fine.
And just now got a $450 fine for going the extremely dangerous 100 in a 90 zone on a three lane freeway.

morell wrote:Yeah done that (but stuffed it up) which meant I had complacency. Just assumed it was registered as nothing had hit my phone. Honestly didn't realise until I got that first fine.
But I meant a sms, email or noti when you get a fine too, so you don't keep doing it, like I did.

Stupid thing is, i reckon people constantly looking at their dash and dabbing the brakes creating inconsistent speed would be more dangerous than just letting people go 110 safely in the right lane.

Yep. Being a truck driver with satellite tracking, we get a note everytime the truck gets over 105, too many in a month & we get a warning. 3 warnings & we lose our license.
