“Yep they get you on anything. I got done for apparently stopping in a school zone but I was doing a three-point turn at the end of Ruby Road, Gymea,” one woman said. People also urged the man to contest the penalty – saying they knew people who had been fined in similar circumstances. Another motorist said he was stung twice within minutes after his car was followed by a parking ranger. Picture: Facebook
