I think it's any part of your vehicle between the two end bars - hence you can often appeal if the end bars are missing or incomplete. Stand to be corrected though.

What is not clear, I now realise, from the picture, is what is the parking opportunity on either side of this yellow? If is is placed to obviate parking on either side (because the spaces left are too small) it's quite an economic use of the paint.

I always thought it was based on the wheels, too, but just checking on t'net I see that it is indeed any part of your car overhanging the prohibited area. If it's just a little bit over, you can usually often appeal on the principle of de minimus (the law does not deal in trifling matters), but since you'd be straddling the entire length of this particular line you'd probably fail.


Mind you, you might be able to appeal on the basis that the line is pretty damn de minimus in itself...

To the left of the double yellows is a white bar to prevent parking across a driveway. To the right is nothing. The line painters have presumably been told to mark lines from the junction with Red Post Hill to a point x metres along East Dulwich Grove. They've done this, carefully ending with a bar as they've come to each driveway and restarting on the other side. However, "x metres" is a point about 40 centimetres the other side of a driveway and they've dutifully marked the lines rather than take the pragmatic view that they're a bit bloody pointless! (I would guess that the line markers are not authorized to use common sense.)

    • Hey everyone, I’m currently on the hunt for a second-hand car and thought I’d reach out to the forum for some advice. I’m particularly looking for a U-LEZ compliant automatic hatchback, so if anyone is selling or knows of a good deal, I’d love to hear about it! Also, if you have any general tips on buying a second-hand car — things to watch out for, red flags, or recommendations on trustworthy dealerships — I’m all ears! Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    • I had the covid vaccination at TJ a couple of weeks ago or so and checking the card they gave me it says Spikevax which is Moderna.  Edit: just seen you had your jab in the pharmacy whereas I had mine in the first floor premises arranged by ECPS. I have heard/read that all vaccinations are Moderna this time round.
    • I've just checked on my NHS app, it shows that I've had the vaccine but doesn't record which it was. But then, it didn't last autumn and I was then given the record of what I'd had. Presumably this is a cost saving measure. I never get details of what flu vaccine I get or who made it. 
    • Last year Krystals were not using Pfizer, if you wanted it that had to be paid for, think it was £100.  they should have given you some documentation saying which brand it was.
