We first learnt this trick on Eurotrip2006 when much to our surprise, parking fines didnt make it back to Sweden, where the car was registered. This perplexed us and we investigated a bit further. Think about it in this way. In 3 months through Europe I DID NOT SEE ONE OTHER ESTONIAN CAR. Do you think the flood of fines from this Eastern European country calls for the expense of such a computer hookup?
I like to think I uphold the rules where possible, I keep to the limit and I enjoy driving on the Autobahns in Germany where I am even allowed to go as fast as I want. Going above 150 is AWESOME. Still, after driving 9000KM, one can fauter sometimes and I am sure on occasion I stepped over the legal limit. I cant imagine where however.
Same goes with parking fines, I try to buy tickets where possible, even though I know they cant track me down. That makes me a good person right? Still even a saint like myself forgets sometimes and on this trip I got 4 parking fines
My conscience is clear, I TRIED. Trying is enough under the law right? If it means some poor parking enforcer gets another mark for his quota then I am happy, its WIN-WIN.
