so ya drive around for 45 mins and become half an hour late for the lacture cos u end up parking outside the uni on a bit of grass with other cars on it. Only to return from the lecture to have a pretty little $70 parking fine on your windscreen.

Not happy jan.

Yeah, you either get there at 8:30 AM or deal with it. I have not bought a parking permit this semester because I got sick of it last year. About your parking fine, write a letter explaining your situation. I did that when I got a fine early last semester and they haven't got back to me yet so I haven't had to pay. I think they have just forgotten about it:D.

yep, i got a fine when I parked in staff parking once - just didn't think as I was stressed about getting to my exam on time since I was late :p Ironic thing is I parked on the opposite side of where my exam was and I had a special pass to park at the forum longer than 2 hours..

I didn't buy a parking permit this year either, University Dr will suffice for me.

I've got some friends who live nearby. So I park at their house. 5-10 min walk, I need the exercise.

Here's a crazy idea: don't drive to uni. I don't. :D
I live on the lake. Driving's fine.

HOWEVER, today on the way home, someones car broke down at the top of the hill after the speed camera. Fuckers created a fair hold up. The driver in front of me was vocal about his disaproval.

was it me??? i hate when people dont move for no apparent reason
I doubt it, it was a four wheel drive. I had no idea and was just sitting there bitching to myself until the person in front of me (the p plater) was trying to switch lanes. It was just the most worst spot to break down though.

They dont forget about it, they jsut send you a letter in a few months along with a increase in the price of fine.
