" shoot on sight " i say .. they should be classed as vermin , the same as TV licence enforcers, call centre operators, the fleshing KleenEzee catalogue leaving on your fleshing doorstep people, door to door insurance salespeeps, noisy milkman, mid-afternoon postman, lazy refuse collectors who will only collect your crap if it has a designer label on it ..so it seems, swimming pool attendants that dont like kids, all deluded staff at Denners or Marks & Spencers, petrol forecourt operators that cannot tell the difference between Green Rizla and Blue Rizla, chav local girls that think they are now to good to be spoken too just because theyve scratched enuff cash together for an orange spray-down and a blagged soon-to-be-returned dress from River Island !!!

yep .. shoot em all on sight i say bro :lol: :twisted: :lol:

So I got a new car about a year ago and over that time I've had it towed twice already for parking. I love my car and I've never had an issue before but this is ridiculous. The most recent towing happened while I was taking a lesson from a friend for skatboarding (I like many different sports :)) and I get out of the lesson and my freakin car is gone. It's my fault because I never saw the sign but I used to park in this place all the time years ago. Stupid new parking rules. In total I've paid 600.00. :(

Why do you think they have yellow lines round their hats, so you dont park on them....


Grrr got done once in the lake district, empty supermarket car part, quiet weekday morning.

Parked in a marked bay but with the wheels turned so one front wheel overlaped the next. 60quid cha-ching... never went back to that town.

Where I work in London, there is a car park right by me. We have no company parking so we all park in the car park. Right next door to the car park is a big grey building called 'The Parking Shop' which is the headquarters for all traffic / parking wardens in west London.

BELIEVE ME when I say you've got to make sure you don't run over your time!

When they get bored they wander round the carpark having a cigarette and checking tickets.

Yeah I've done that before as well :lol: and it worked, I never got anything through the post either! Don't think it would work if it was a copper who was giving you a ticket.

Incidently if you park on double yellow lines that are incomplete or partially covered up then this makes the no parking rule void. You'll probs have to fight by letter sending to have the ticket quoshed tho. Technically this is the case for any road markings. :P

Is this really the case or just another one of those urbans myths?

my advice is

1) contest every ticket you can. check the internet for forums dedicated to this sort of thing, follow their advice to the letter.

2) if you are going to get towed jump in your car and lock the door behind you, they arent allowed to tow a car someone in (i think this is country wide health and safety, i know its true when i got done in london)


I understand traffic wardens have to keep the traffic moving, but most of them seem to have the morals and judgement of a timeshare salesman.

this was one of those clamper comapnys though, i was parked next to my halls when they got me there were no double yellow lines on the side of the road i was parked on just a big clamping secruity sign on the wall a bit further down.

id contest it but i doubt very much that i would have a leg to stand on. the unite staff in teh office are bastards and wouldnt give me a back dated permit even though i was only parked there a few mins.

ill just pay it and learn my lesson i guess
