parking tickets - take notes America

normally, the amount of new news wouldn't be worthy of a post but this is worth it.

i got my first parking ticket yesterday in Wellington. Wellington is the capital of NZ and easily the 2nd largest city in the country so parking downtown is a bit of a challenge, especially in a van, and its usually metered.

i got a ticket because my time expired (by ~2hrs).

the fine was $15 NZ. that's about $11 US.

on top of that, my options for payment include online, by mail, in person and get this... the post office. how genius is that?!?!

there you go America, let us pay our parking tickets at more convenient locations and lets reduce that fine a bit. please have this in place by the time i get home. thank you.
