俾人抄錯牌 only, 牌, effective, something, displays

Caffie

Last Sunday at around 7pm on Thurlow between Robson and Alberni, my bf parked his car in front of Joe Fortes where the parking meter says it's only effective until 6pm. It was 7pm so we didn't put any money into the meter. Two hours later, he got ticketed. The violation is "remained parked in a metered space where the meter head at said space displays four flashing zeros in a window". @7:02pm. The officer must had assumed that the parking meter is effective until 8pm or something? What to do now @_@

Just give Joe Fortes a call and ask.  If it is really the case, take a picture and bring it to court.  No biggie.

Parking Meters: There are more than 6000 parking meters in Vancouver. Here's some useful information about them.
Read the information printed on the meter before inserting money for rates and restrictions.

Parking Meters are in effect from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. every day of the year. On some streets, parking isn't allowed, even in metered spaces, during rush hour.

Most meters allow two hour parking, and some allow three.

Between 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., vehicles can't be left in the same parking space for longer than the maximum number of allowable hours.

Parking meter rates vary from $0.75 per hour to $2.50 per hour depending on the area.

Motorists are not allowed to park in a metered space if the meter is out of order.

you could call or email them.

but for shure get yourself proof, like images or the sales in a shop.

All meters around that area are until 8pm. No chance your bf can dispute it. Pay it early before the penalty went up.
