G.muir Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey guys, New to this and new to the bike aswell. I was into my cars (yes, triator I know) and in june my mate suggested to join him in get a bike so 2 weeks later I got my CBT and the following week I bought a Yamaha yzf R125 and I love it never had a bike before, never been on a bike before but loving it ! I have my Theory test to do on Saturday and i have a question ? The test is in Glasgow and am wondering about parking, do I still need to pay and display with a bike or can you park up on the pavement ? whats the do's and donts ? Hopefully you all can keep me right Cheers, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayruf Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi Welcome, I think we all have that question ref ‘pay & display’& parking on the pavement, I don’t know how you get along with either, I assume you still could get a ticket, What I try to do is use a local supermarket even if they have their own pay and display, usually I look to see where the employees park their scoots and snuggle my bike in there, like wise if I see the parking Gestapo I would just ask, Aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi Graham, Welcome to the club, With respects to your question many car parks these days have a section which is just for motorbikes. some have a little flap by the ground anchor to put your ticket, but most are free to us bikers as we don't take up that much room. As for parking on the pavement, im sure your find your bike moved, or scratched or dented. Any ways good luck for Saturday and get your big boys test done before January as new laws are coming in to bring us in line with the pissing EU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
