Krystal Ruby has it. That is the PAY BY date, not the date it was given. Fine print at bottom, failure to pay in twenty eight days may incur additional cost.

Ummm in Australia we write the date as Day Month Year 11/03/2010 Day/ month/year……….in America it would have read 03/11/2010 Month/ day/ year it took me a while to realize that when i was just starting out visiting different American sites….. also some of your spelling does not compute with the Queens English Dictionary i use…. but… i Still Love You All….:))))

@Margaret
Margaret, I feel obliged to let you know that different countries operate under different laws – as Australia only has a dozen or so major cities, there isn’t much room for duplication, hence printing the State is somewhat redundant. As for the month/day vs day/month debate, well – to each their own, we feel perfectly happy to do it our way.
Regards

Well, I’m an American like John. I noticed the date and thought this
whole thing to be a hoax. It is most appropriate to name the time
of year (the month) before quoting numbers (the date).
Also, America doesn’t have “infringement tickets” like this. The ticket
would have the name of the CITY AND THE STATE. This ticket has
Melbourne printed on it. That wouldn’t fly here.

Several years ago, I would park in a lot run by the college system, patrolled by Campus Police (which here have the same jurisdiction as the state police). I would use their lot as it was only $1.25.day as opposed to $20-$40/day on private lots in the area. My partner would pick me up there to start our route for the day. 1 morning I was waiting in the car for him to arrive and was going to pay then. Parking patrol pulls up, writes me a ticket for failure to pay, hands it thru the window to me without getting out of her car.

Thanks Bill, I was about posting the same reply you just made to John.

You must be a American. Everywhere else in the world it is day, month, year, where in the U.S. it is month, day, year.

Did anyone notice the issue date on the ticket? 11/03/2010 hasn’t even occurred yet. Someone screwed up, when filling out the ticket! Never knew that they can issue a ticket, before the calender date has arrived! That’s one for the books now!

hahahaha Welcome to My Dear Old Melbourne Town….. I wonder if the Parking Officer was 1 short on his quota for the day after that….
