Anyone know what is the punishment for parking at unbroken double yellow line under rule 22(B)?

No demerits, fine $70 only I think.

yup.. no demerit points..
Demerit points usually given only when speeding, beat red lights.. etc
Whilst we're on the subject .. time for me to have a rant.
I ordered some takeaway from a restaurant in Little India last night & went to pick it up. I parked in what I thought was a legitimate parking spot, but when I returned 5 minutes later I had received a $50 parking ticket. When I checked the signage I realised that it was a normal parking space except on Sunday's where it was reserved for buses & trucks only. Ok fair cop I inadvertently parked illegally and was ticketed as a result. I can live with that.
What REALLY annoyed me though was (1) parked 20m behind me on double yellow lines was a cement mixer truck which had not been ticketed (2) parked directly opposite me on double yellow lines was a Mitsubishi Lancer & Honda Accord, neither of which had been ticketed. All 3 vehicles were there before I parked my car yet NONE of them had received a ticket (and the traffic warden was no where in sight). The only explanation I can come up with is the fact that my car was a Ferrari and this was a clear case of reverse elitism.
Is it fair that I feel hard done by?

I beleive it's $70 for double yellow .. I can't remember the exact wording but mine was $50 for not following what the sign said .. which was coupon parking Mon/Sat & no parking Sunday's except for trucks & buses. I didn't see the no parking bit until after I received the ticket.

Yea.. Bro,
What you working as? To be able to own a Ferrari is by no means easy / possible for a normal salaried worker.
