Seems a bit harsh to me?[IMG][/IMG]

umm sorry mate obviously never want to side with them but you are well out!

Unfortunately that's not harsh.

Having lived and worked in Cambridge, that place is a nightmare for wardens.

SteveChester · 09-11-2016, 10:56 AM

And yes on balance that is correct but I parked for 20 mins out of 30 and the bit my front is on is actually a bend so wasn't blocking anything etc

An example of Cambridge fun, used to volunteer at this place in city.

Parking on residential street in this area was allowed on one side from 17:00.

You would and they did ticket people at 16:59.

One evening a parking warden would not let me park up at about 15:55, even though street was pretty much empty and I needed to open up the centre I was a working at, as it was pissing down and some young people waiting to get in.

We complained however council came back with rules are rules.

All I'll say is good luck trying to appeal it on those grounds

Suggest you review the Highway Code items 239 and 243.

If your front wheels were within the white line and your nose was hanging over I could maybe sympathise

I think it is time to take your medicine old chap

If you had a smart car, it may have fitted in that space😝

Do you need to pay for a fine if you got a ticket in another EU country?

HeresMyCar · 09-11-2016, 11:29 AM

This has to be a wind up..

Oh yeah, really harsh. Hopefully you'll get some compensation for emotional distress as well.

I think even they might not take that case!

NorthEastX5 · 09-11-2016, 02:13 PM

Awwww come on this is a pee take surely???

Heck I've been done for having half a tyre over the line.

You've got no chance with that effort but top marks for asking the question and giving us all a chuckle!!

Watsey · 09-11-2016, 02:47 PM

Did you honestly look back over your shoulder and think "great parking !" ??

willjames · 09-11-2016, 04:43 PM

It's bantersville tonight chaps...all in good spirit of course.
