Welcome to NZ's parking ticket capital.

Wellington parking wardens are the most slap-happy ticketers in the nation. And Christchurch motorists are the most rebellious about paying their parking fines. More than one ticket was issued for every man, woman and child in Wellington last year, and the capital's residents paid the equivalent of $44.50 each in parking fines, compared with $7 in Christchurch and Dunedin. The Sunday Star-Times compared the number of parking fines issued in central Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, and found Wellington wardens were the most prolific, writing 12 tickets for every 10 Wellingtonians. Aucklanders came next, at eight tickets for every 10 residents, and four out of 10 Christchurch and Dunedin residents were fined.
