one more tip from webmeister's Manual for Modern Life:
If you catch a cop writing out a parking ticket, tell em that you're a friend of Don Toadieone.
They will instantly close their notebook, give you a respectful apology and continue on their way

I'd argue that you couldnt see the sign at all and therefore you shouldnt pay. But in a more intelligent way, possibly trying to cite cases. Im sure there have been some civil trials where contract law has been debated due to not being able to see the conditions of the contract clearly.
(I did commercial law for a semester at uni, by "im sure" i mean, nearly 100% sure, but, whether that case would help you im not sure)
I'm not sure that contract law applies in this case. There is probably specific legislation that sets out the rules.
But yeah I have a few friends that have successfully disputed parking fines - just write them a polite and reasonable letter explaining that the sign was defective.

I feel for you mate, that's really unfortunate.
Oh well, can't really complain. In Adelaide the maximum parking fine is $13! (no, not 130, its thirteen dolalrs). Which means it's cheapers to get a fine than to pay for a days parking in the city!
The sad thing is that they complain about having to pay *so* much money!

dont parking inspectors put chalk on the tyre so they know if they've passed it already? so if you got a fine you would have to have chalk on the tyre? i mean even if they don't you'd have to be pretty stupid i'd think to fall for those tricks.
