the forum is great but we need to learn off each other for instance.
parking dodges i put my tax disc in the windscreen so you cant read the tax disk no
if a ticket comes through i say wasnt there give me the tax disc no and i will pay .
yes it has worked.
if the warden starts to write the ticket get in the van and go no service no ticket dont argue with the moron he is still writing your ticket out go go go and save 60 quid.
i know a man who brought a second set of no plates saying the first were stolen............. ticket comes he provides an invoic and says the car was cloned simple but not kosher !!!!!!
THEY RIP US OFF WHY NOT LEARN FROM EACH OTHER HOW TO DODGE EM I AM SORRY HONEST MEN HAVE TO STOOP SO LOW BUT IT IS OUR HARD EARNED WE HAVE TO PRESERVE.
any more ideas
-
are you a legal driver .
-
does nt matter just keep sending the dodges
-
why send in dodges . you allready said you put your tax disc so it cant be read that dodgy or what .

Heres a great dodge that always works: DONT park anywhere where you know that you aren't supposed to. I do this day in day out and so far i've managed to avoid getting parking tickets.
Sounds too good to be true BUT believe me it works.

In this day and age, aren't those "Dodges" just for the cowboy cleaners?
Its not that hard to park legally is it?
-
A lot of places round here its impossible to park legally. But this dodge has got a short life because they are changing the law so that a photo is sufficient. If you drive off before the ticket is served you just forgo the chance to pay the reduced rate. They always win in the end.

i think they already changed the law - recently. means if you can drive off before they put the ticket on the windscreen or hand it to you you dont have to pay.
which is great, unless your on a job with hoses etc trailing all over the place. or ona motorbike and have to put your helmet on and fumble around for keys. so it will only reallly help you if you see the warden when they start the ticket, and are close enough to get to and in the van then drive off.
i also heard something about not giving people tickets for first offences, only give tickets out to those who continously abuse the rules.
-
But this is the bit that always confuses me: if it is illegal to park somwhere then you have to ask yourself WHY its illegal.....Can't speak for anywhere other than where i live in Birmingham, BUT whereever there are double-yellow lines round here you can see clearly the reason for it....

i can think of a fwe places around here where it would be ok to park, but there a doube yellows. and hundreds of places where there should be double yellow lines but there are none. dont forget - you can have a ticket for parking too close to a turning - you have to be over a cars length away from any turning and junction (not including driveways obviously) by uncle had a ticket for parking too close once.

Try working in Chepstow.
No you can't park.
Full of tourists and shoppers who have 5 cars each.

I'm a bit of a donkey

Just delete the bits you don't want, but don't touch the quote bits at the start and end.
You can put what you want as well, see? ;D
Sorry. :-[ Don't start doing that. ;D
-
Sorry don't get it. How do you delete the bits you don't want?

Highlight them with your mouse and rick-click and delete, or put the cursor by them and press delete.
Same as deleting anything else.

In my town they have just scrapped all the parking in and around the town centre. I don't work in the town centre but have work just outside of it and the minimum price is a pound. All the loading bays in front of the shops have been scrapped and everyone HAS to pay. Its causing absolute murder.

If you drive a commercial vehicle you're entitled to load and unload on double yellows for up to 20 mins during the day, and unlimited at other times, provided there is "continuous loading activity", and you're not parked on the pavement or blocking the road. So all you need to do is keep an eye out for wardens and chuck some stuff in the back if you see one coming.

;D class. Yes keep them coming.
Although i prefer to do things legally 'cos i don't want 'em sniffing round my house.
I prefer to live life easy now and can't feel comfortable if i've got to be looking over my shoulder all the time. I sleep better now as well. :)

There is continuous activity - you unload your gear and hose and then are continually delivering water via your hose to windows and then you put it all way again.

When you see the quoted text with [ / quote] at the end, put your cursor before the [ / quote] by clicking there with your mouse pointer. Then move the cursor with your direction arrow keys to the end of the bit you want to delete and press "backspace" until you've deleted all the bit you want to.

hiding the tax disc wont work, it just gets sent back to the issuing officer who decides if they wish to continue with the ticket.
trying to drive off wont work either. if the ticket touches the vehicle its lawful, even if it hasnt been filled in.
best thing to do is to park legally. ;)
-
Its ok to park on double yellows in Worthing and the same in Brighton if your working, I have no trouble at all and have spoken to a warden and had it confirmed.
There are probably quite a few more places like it as well but its kept quiet.

One of my customers is a debt collector. He told me he just double parks and the traffic warden can't do anything about it. Sure the police could book him for obstruction, but the traffic warden doesnt have this power.
Traffic wardens in Abersoch just ticketed loads of motorists for parking on a grass verge near a popular beach. This has caused a lot of moaning from the alleged offenders. A traffic wardens jurisdiction should end at the kerbside. Dai

A lot of the residential roads round here have parking restrictions or Resident Permit bays and that causes me problems. The wardens are like vultures, they can smell an illegally parked vehicle several streets away.

Can't they just! I had one where I was getting a visitors permit from the woman and by the time I got back to the car (3 mins) the warden was starting to write the ticket

double yellow lines by law end at the hedgerow, so in essence if you drive over the dyl and park on the verge you are actually parking on double yellows. therefore a traffic wardens jurisdiction doesnt end at the kerbside.
i work for sussex police and wherever possible i try not to dish out parking tickets, problem is parking in sussex for the main is still governed by police officers unless the council decriminalise it (like in brighton and lewes). but i do let businesses park on dyl to do their job (especially window cleaners as i did used to be one).
however there are a few people that take the p%!s and block roads off or double park causing chaos. in this case i normally stand in front of the vehicle and write the ticket out. its amazing how quickly people move their vehicle then.
i will let you into one little tip though. im not sure about private traffice attendents but this is for police officers that might be booking you up.
if you get back to them while they are writing out the ticket, dont have a go, but just apologise and explain why you parked there. then ask if they would consider voiding the ticket this time. police can void the ticket at any time, even after its on the car. if people dont scream at me or call me names then i will invariably void the ticket. cant speak for every pc in the country though as there are some that enjoy giving out the tickets. ;D

Hi Jamie, Here in SW London the parking is dire and the traffic wardens are legion and seem to enjoy dishing out PCNs for the slightest infringement.
I'm all for traffic management...if somebody double parks and blocks the highway then I'm in favour of heavy fines...but i had a PCN for getting back to my car 3 minutes later than I had paid for on the meter. This therefore had nowt to do with traffic management and everything to do with swelling Wandsworth Borough Councils coffers.
I agree that ranting and raving at the parking warden isn't good policy but blimey this c##t has just fined me £60 for 3 minutes...£20 a minute...Groundhog eat yer heart out ;D...!!

in reply to thne original post
yes i am legal
no im not a cowboy
i try to be legal honest and decent caring shareing and giveing i do pay tax ect just like you.
but i do begruge giving my hard earned to the local council for stoping to do my job,
in croydon the council use the camaras that were ment to protect us from crime and now use them to stop real crime yes us motorists
you dont even see the warden and you have a ticket.
a computer works out the time you arrive and alerts the warden to your location by g.p.s
wardens on motorbikes gey you even at 12.oclock at night
i got 2 fines one at 11.59 amd one at 12,01 two seperate days cleaver or what they will towyou away any time day or night unless you are illegal you will not pay if you cant be traced.... but also if they run my child over they cant be traced surly these are the real criminals .the system is asleep to issues concerning real people and take our money but dont provide us with the protections and safeguards we deserve.like forest gump said thats all i have to say about that!!!!!

this problem is to do with decriminalisation of parking in areas and getting council traffic wardens to do the job. and yes these fines are only there to swell public coffers
