150e fine !!!!!!!

€150 is ridiculous all the same. It's a mandatory court appearance for cycling through a red light though, so it could be worse!

Bollix. See here was me and the sergeant having a cup of tae and he was complaining how he has fck all cash left at the end of the week, and what with the mortgage and his missus complaining to the Irish Times and all. So, I sez, shure there's no end of feckers out there we could be fining. A few bob on top, and that's the mortgage paid on the aul'rental student gaff and a fair whack off the semi. Might even get a new flat screen, the 42" is shite these days.

Woulda gotten away with it too, if it weren't for ye meddling kids.

No idea what you are going on about or the relevance in this thread.
Thought it was traffic warden who gave him the fine ?

OP, you have my sympathies, that's annoying.

I too received a fine of €150 for my dog fouling someone's garden while I had him out for a walk.
I was going to fight it but the complainant had a dossier with time dated video of the dog doing the deed & me whistling at him to follow on.
I agreed with the council to pay €20 a month, I paid the first month then "forgot" about further payments.
Hasn't been a word about 8 months later.

Still waiting on that 120 Euro! :mad:

Unlucky. I have a friend who parks on double yellow lines everyday during college. She hasn't gotten caught yet. Even if she does get caught now, she'll have saved more than 150 quid by parking in the lines.

What did you get fined for that you "don't deserve"?

Leave my high horse out of this. I can see my house from here.

I got fined €80 from SDCC for an overloaded bin.

Left my bin out for collection one morning at 6.30 (information leaflet said bin was to be left at kerb before 7)....got a letter 2 days later to say my bin was overloaded and the litter warden had checked it and it was €80 of a fine.

Argued that my bin was used for fly tipping. Wardens answer "try me in court, I haven't lost a case yet"

Funny that in the last month I've had the litter warden out twice because my recycling bin has been used by someone else - once filled with household rubbish and once filled bathroom tiles. Plus we've had 13 bins robbed and one set on fire.

Face palm, you get 150 euro fine for parking on double yellow lines. A 70 year old woman causes a multi car pile up, resulting in a mans death and she gets 5 penalty points on her license. Apparently the judge felt that a fine would be inappropriate. Sometimes I just despair of this country.

Yeah he shouldn't, but was the fine of €150 really warranted. €40 yes, but €150??

Even a clamp for incorrect parking in dublin city centre is "only" €80

Just so people know i realise i cant park there its just that 150 euro is nuts, 50 ok fair enough but 150 is madness,

150 euros is a bit harsh, but double yellow lines are there for a reason, generally at a point where it is dangerous to park or where you will be causing a serious obstruction.

You parking there probably incovenenienced many other road users. If you parked somewhere legal you may have had to walk a bit further but you would still have 150 euros.

Are you male or female? I think this is a particularly female trait, plonking your car anyhwere flicking on the hazards and then off for five minutes to do the grocery shopping.

Perhaps for an average infringement but clearly this was a high risk, high inconvenience location. The OP did the crime .... now he is paying for it. Too many people think double yellows are for 'other' people.

So be it. Justice in my view.

No, it's not. That sentence was monstrously lenient. This is not. Nor is it the opposite of that.

€150 is even better. I doubt the OP will do it again any time soon.

Why not indeed? Everybody and their dog knows that you're not supposed to park on double yellow lines at any time. May as well put people off it properly.

The OP is notably the person who has been asked to provide that information and has failed to so.

Don't think he was specifically asked exactly where he was parked but piliger was able to tell us that the OP was clearly parked in a high risk, high inconvenience location......psychic much?

What is this sh.it with people believing hazard lights are some fuc.king magical device that relieve you off all responsibility in any situation...allowing you to do whatever the fck you like.

Ill just park in your garden at 8:30 am and stay there for an hour ...its ok..ill use my hazard lights.

Ill just pull over infront of this hospital a+e entrance....oh wait they might object due to me endangering peoples lives...my hazard lights button that will make it all go away.

Block entire pavement - hazard lights...let them walk in the road.

Double park behind you because i have utter contempt for you...hazard lights...my smokes are more important than your time.

Block an entire lane...well...im in a big van and have hazard lights so its all fine and dandy...you'll be home by 9

I think it must be an Irish thing, basically do whatever the **** you want so long as you put on your hazard lights.

Well its not ok hazard light abusers ...and next time im going to drop trou and take a sh.it on your van roof regardless of place and time..ill just be parked behind you with MY hazard lights on.

You informed us that the OP had been asked where he was parked - no one asked him.

Then you asked him after that where was he parked.
