I can trump that ... four weeks ago one afternoon I parked in Adelaide Tce, Perth to indulge in a coffee and something at the Pan Pacific hotel, a favourite haunt of mine ... and during this COVID-19 phase, the City of Perth had been waiving all parking fees ... so, I got lazy and stopped checking parking times, only to exit the hotel at 4:20pm to see my car gliding up the back of a AAA Towing tray truck !
The city's tow away zones are ultimately regulated by the Main Roads Dept which has an undercover 'holding' facility in Northbridge ... I paid $368.50 to retrieve my car at circa 5:00pm that day and noted they may also apply a $75.00 fee per additional day if you're tardy in fronting up for your car ... and, bless the City of Perth, for they kindly posted me an Infringement Notice one week later, to the tune of $200.00.
I guess that's burned into me now to observe all parking signs every time I park up ... noting especially any morning or afternoon Clearway zones !
... and now I wonder what delights could have been had at TBC had I not spent $568.50 on a very expensive cup of coffee !
But maybe if I start a GoFundMe page.....
