Parking tickets. Who doesn't hate them?eroticism second image page 5
While most people shrug their shoulders and decide to just pay up, one Australian man has found a rather novel and hilarious way to fight a parking ticket issued to him.

He was issued with a A$65 (US$49) notice for "liquidated damages" for overstaying, allegedly four minutes after his parking ticket expired.
Jones noticed the ticket's wording of "liquidated damages," finding out that the company couldn't issue a penalty legally based off that definition. It could only recoup losses that is comparable to the revenue it had lost.
Based off the charge for overstaying, Jones calculated that the cost of operating one parking space would be A$975 (US$744) an hour, according to a letter he wrote to the company which he posted on Facebook.
"This would mean that a car park in this area, with 100 spaces would incur a cost to Wilson Parking a value comparable to the annual GDP of the Independent State of Samoa," he wrote.
"If $975 per hour were the true cost to administer a single parking spot, then charging a fee of $7 for two hours parking would truly be an act of charity."
So Jones decided to make them an offer to settle the tiff, based off its *charitable* rate of $7 for two hours at the parking spot. He sent the company 25 cents in cash to help cover the four minutes he overstayed, which totals 23.3 cents, as he had already paid $7 for two hours parking.
"From this point, I consider our debts to be settled. Please do not send me a cheque for the amount of 1.7c," he wrote.
Unfortunately, the chief executive of Wilson Parking, Steve Evans, told WA Todaythat the fine is likely to stand, despite the well-executed argument.
"Our customers enter into an agreement with us when they use our parking facilities. They are to pay the price of parking for the duration of their stay, and if they do not then they are issued a breach notice as is the practice in carparks globally," he told the news outlet.
