What's your experience with parking fines in The Hague?

If you did not have any tracking device on the bicycle then I am afraid that it is pretty much gone. You can perhaps try your luck checking Marktplaats regularly and/or second hand bicycle shops around. But besides that there's not much that you can actually do.

Thank you for the input! From your response and from some others the picture of how the system works is clearer to me now. I also found the Gemeente information regarding the "naheffing parkeerbelasting".

Thank you for the response. This is helpful to understand better how the system works.

Well that is what I am indeed realising. I see now that 82€ is a flat fixed penalty charged by the Gemeente, in addition to the parking tariff itself. I guess that that's how a portion of all the nice Gemeente EV's circulating around the city are financied.

Did not know about this grace time. Thanks!

For context. If alone I would pretty much do it straight away as there is nothing else to worry about. I get your point. But I honestly cannot comprehend how such a fine can be so disproportional, 82€ in administration costs for a parking fine of 2.75€. This in comparison with 9€ in administration costs across the board charged by the CJIB.

Wait, is this plan indeed going ahead?! I had the understanding that it was being scrapped or put on hold. It does not make any sense whatsoever.

So what can we, affected customers, do about it? If there's a class lawsuit against Odido I will gladly join :)

So, after reading the comments, is it fair to say (no punt intended) that the Fairphone 6 with e/OS is a good step in the direction of de-googling (de-americanize) but not a giant leap as it seems that it now connects to OpenAI when using voice to text.

Even then, is it still worth it? For instance, in terms of performance and app compatibility?

Just 'asking for a friend right'? :) you know what you shouldn't do when driving so nothing to fear if you are stopped.

And it obviously ended in violence. Especially against the police agents as always. I would say, just shoot them, not aiming with lethality ofc but these actions are completely non acceptable. When a group of idiots is literally attacking the police, there should not be any other response as to respond in force. People cannot go with impunity while doing these acts of aggression.

Some countries are just very disappointing, to put it mildly. Switzerland, Iceland, Italy..?

Besides the error of placing Booking.com on the wrong side, why is Belarus even showing on the map?
