  Any chance you can get the fine waived by calling them and explaining the situation?

    No because although it’s University land the parking is overseen by Council and so they do not give two shits. “I had a 7am start and was rushing to meet my supervisor to get out into the field” is not considered adequate. The stinger is that they fined me only shortly before I got back from the field anyway… grrrrrrr

      It might be worth a shot. Just a simple explanation, was in a rush, forgot to put up permit, first time, lesson learned, attach photo of said permit. I got out of one last year with an ’ official warning’ because my delightful mother brought her disability permit with her, but left it in her handbag instead of applying it to the screen. Took me 5 minutes to apply for a review and saved my ass $200.

        Could I ask which council it was? I guess I could try… I did remember to put my bloody sun shade on but not the permit. Guess I could say I was in a rush and put the shade over the permit which I’m sure happens all the time too…
