Madison Motorsport Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Can you not apply to the council for a parking permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Pictures? Diagram? Is this area a pavement ?? How much of the space are you taking up ?? Are there any other signs anywhere ?? how far from the Double Yellows is the bike? and how far from the house?? Now the double yellows: are they complete, unbroken, propperly ended (there should be a line joining them together at the end, extending slightly towards the gutter. OK, this is a technicality, but it could get you of the tickets if all alse fails - and the buggers will just fix it after... ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildone Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I would have made sure that I met THE local traffic warden ( or at least A local traffic warden) after my very first ticket and simply asked him for his interpretation as to where I could, or could not, park. Whether you like it or not HIS ( or her) OPINION matters and it always helps to talk ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisw Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Unfortunately relying on the things about the lines being brocken and not having terminals on the end of the lines doesn't always stand up to the defence you need. The double lines not only include the road but are active all the way to the building line, so if you have a garden it is this f the front door opens on to the stree than it is in line with the very front wall of your house. Your best bet is that the ticket is wrongly worded and many are and therefore flawed. Best thing is to register with http://www.pepipoo.com/ load an image of your ticket both front and back and your ticket (washed of personal details) and give an explaination of the offence. It will then get checked for dodgy wording, and errors will be made known to you and you can fight the ticket on that basis, your appeal will probably be rejected so you'd have to take it to PATAS to win.

TheSaffer Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi, I would just like to make you aware of a handy little website: TicketFigter They cover pretty much everything there is to know about yellow lines and other types of parking rules. Hope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
