Some say that where the water is in the back of car that still counts, you can contact your local council and get a writen ticket allowing you to park in certain areas of the road at times allowed by them.

Post by: Ian W on October 15, 2007, 10:11:35 pm: Maybe just have a chat with them as you see them. They are only doing a job and will tell you what you can do and cannot do.
If you are doing a job, then they may be more lenient than if someone is just too lazy to park properly while picking up their paper.

Post by: cybersye on October 16, 2007, 09:12:43 am: Yes I would recommend having a chat with them as you see them. Maybe its just here in Brighton that we are lucky, there is supposedly an agreement that traffic wardens leave us wc's alone, providing we have a note clearly displayed "window cleaner at work" and we are parked responsibly , that even includes double yellows. I have an A4 laminated sign on fluro paper I put on my dashboard (as well as sign written van). Never had a ticket yet in 2 years. ;D
