[WA] Issued a Clearway Infringement

Michael15286 on 29/05/2020 - 12:27

Firstly, some background. I very recently started renting in the City of Subico and my house is on a road that is a clearway at peak times.

I parked my car on the road just outside my house. Clearway is 4:30 to 6 so I go to move my car and find I've already been ticketed at 4:31.

Would it be worth trying to ask the city for some leniency?

          1 min over some arbitrary time. Crime of the century!

            @gimme: Its not crime of the century but he wont go bankrupt if he pays the fine.

            RULES ARE RULES FOR A REASON

              @nikoris: Correct, but we disagree on the reason

                @gimme: The time limits are there for a reason. It's also permanently published in bold letters on a giant sign post.

                  @CocaKoala: I know. Everything has a reason. Doesn't always mean it's a good one

                    @gimme: It shows you know nothing about the internet. Its ok, might take a while depends on your IQ.

    Pay it.

    Brighton Beach in Sydney is always good for a watch as the 3pm clearway commences. Daily lots of people on the beach are unaware & a small army of cops, council & towtrucks make light work of clearing it.

    Hefty cost from what I understand, they are incredibly efficient and making the clearway a clearway day after day.

    It's Subiaco.

    Their basic policy is: absolutely (profanity) you. (profanity) everyone. But especially (profanity) you.

    I once had my car towed 2 times within a week cos I forgot to move my car after 4.30, I was either sleeping or didn’t remember. I moved place soon after as there’s no way to own a car and live on a clearway street. Expensive lesson but I never have another clearway fine since. Good luck with the appeal but do something about it or you will get another one.

    Tow trucks wait on st George's terrace and do the same thing. It's well enforced

    Pay the fine

    Michael, this was me 12 years ago, back when I worked next to iiNet. The clear way you're talking about is the one that everyone parks, parallel to the tracks. Pay the fine and move on - we've blocked traffic enough for everyone else!

    • Archi on 31/05/2020 - 15:46

      Ahhh i designed that iiNet fit out all those years ago

  • abb on 01/06/2020 - 17:54

    Can you please send those ticketing guys to Sydney?

    Plenty of bastards blocking clearways with impunity over here.
