Television research into parking problems

Mark - as a biker I would endorse that policy straight away.

it should be enforced anyway - it is against the law to be on the phone whilst driving. I see people doing it all the time.

About two months ago, I got two tickets on the same day.

The first was a fair cop - although thinking about it, the signposting wasn't clear (it was in Lambeth - one side of the road for residents, the other Pay and Display.)

The second one really angered me. I parked directly opposite a P&D machine on the other side of the road. Above the machine was a sign that said I could park there. I paid my money, came back, and found a ticket - timed at about three seconds after I'd parked. The explanation on the ticket was that I was parked on a residents bay. So I went back later to work it out - and found that thirty metres down the road was a sign that said the three bays in question were for residents. OK, so why was the sign thirty metres away and not directly by the bays? Misleading or what?

But do you know what, I couldn't be bothered appealing because they're a bunch a money-grabbing XXXXXXXs that don't understand logic.

"I am firmly against disabled parking for reasons i've given on other threads"

Yes, and uniformed and pathetically ignorant reasons they were too.
