    No.
    Go to court and tell the judge what you just articulated in your post.

    find the traffic warden and teach him a lesson using physical violence.

    Lunch at 11.45? :eek:

    Are you sure it was a 3 hour zone and not 2 hour? Ive never seen a 3 hour zone. And, did you have a disk up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Anyone

    If there are two signs would you not try smashing his face against them? Just so he understand it's 3 hours and not 2.

    100000% of what? 100000% of 3hrs is 3000hrs so technically you should be able to park there for 125 days or 17.85 weeks or 4.16 months. Although if its 100000% of how sure you are then I don't know how to work that out as I'm not a scientist.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,203 ✭✭✭sfwcork


    nope 1000000000% no disc required

    his fleeced me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    Pick up the 3 hour sign and find the ticket fella
    Take the sign , Turn that son 'bitch sideways and stick it straight up his candy ASS


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    I don't get it, how does the traffic warden know how long you've been there? And if you were to dispute it, how would you prove when you got there?

    I dunno about Cork, but everywhere else with ticket parking if it says 3 hour zone it doesn't mean the first 3 are free, it means you pay for your parking but can only stay for 3 hours.

    NFTs funged. No questions asked.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,234 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    The traffic warden probably knows your car and in his infinite wisdom assumed you were on time for work. You should find the said traffic warden and apologies for disrupting his scientific method of calculating parking times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,495 ✭✭✭✭ted1


    I know of nowhere that has a three hour limit that doesn't involve a disk. And i'm awesome.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,203 ✭✭✭sfwcork

    Im defo not a"Troll". Im just a normal joe soap that got fleeced by a khunt of a warden

    take it straight to the city hall, with a written appeal and your ticket, they are very reasonable to be fair.... ("Some" Traffic wardens suffer from power surges though)

    I've travelled every street in Cork. Tell me where you were parked and I'll tell you if you're right or wrong.

    Like someone else said if its a three hour zone it means you can park there for three hours WITH A DISC and then you have to move.

    No way it's a 3 hour zone without a disc. The warden would have no way of knowing how long you've been there.

    Nice try Op....

    Even if it was free, you'd need a ticket to mark when you arrived.

    Its a traffic warden that only has to monitor about 10 streets. He walks around all day with this wee monitor tracking cars

    If you were that awesome you'd tell us where you parked that you don't need a disc :D

    I arrived back at my car one day to find a parking ticket under the wiper. I looked at the time and saw that it had been issued 5 minutes before, so I went to the ticket machine and bought a ticket, went to government services centre and they cancelled it. You get approx 10 minutes grace from when the ticket is issued


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,203 ✭✭✭sfwcork


    eh donegal road.. horse is well past the post now kid
