    Just lie and say your permit was displayed.

    Unless they took a photo of your car when they gave out the ticket there's not a right lot they can argue with.

      I wasn't saying I wasn't in the wrong for not displaying. I was just asking whether I could get away with it.

      Anyway, I did. I showed them I had bought the ticket, pleaded first offence your honour, and got away with a warning.

          I've been let of 2 tickets under stupid circumstances...

          1) I was parked out side an Oxfam dropping of items... got a ticket (what a f**king c**t).

          2) I was taking my granny to the hospital. I put her blue badge upside down in my car... given a ticket.

          In both cases, i was very nice to the traffic warden. I wrote letters to the parking office and was let off.

          If I were you, I'd send in a scanned copy of your 30 day pass, and say that it had fallen off the dashbaord (maybe when you shut the door). Don't be a smart arse. Be nice and fingers crossed you will be let off.

          Lets be honest, you were stupid to not display the ticket, but, you shouldn't have to pay the fine as you legally did nothing wrong.

              I also successfully appealed a fine.

              I had bought a ticket but it had slipped out of view.

              Polite letter explaining situation accompanied by the ticket.

              Let off with a, "Don't do it again".
