The councils are very hit-and-miss for issuing fines.

I've copped $150 fines for overhanging 1 metre into a no-stopping zone for 15 seconds while picking up a passenger.

Yet, I report abandoned cars that have been there for months, and end up smashing the windows on them 6 months later. So far, window-smashing has proven to be the most effective by far.
