Default Think I got a parking ticket

Last week i parked in a layby to get some money out the cash machine and some bloke came running out of the shop next to me and said "i think your gonna get a ticket mate"

looked up the road at there was this poxy smart car with some periscope thing on the roof.
i turned my car round 90 degrees to it, but i think it might have been too late.

things like this really **** me off as there is no where else to park and i was certainly not hampering the flow of traffic anywhere!!!

wait to see what Mr Postman brings me

Dazza,

I have seen those about round my way as well, I have only seen CCTV printed on them rather than any sort of traffic enforcement.

They look like upside down spinning tops yet more Big Brother stuff though mate

Hopefully no ticket for you but good to know either way

Hope its not BUT they are our worst enemy now in the city, our driver HAS to stop somewhere to make deliveries to the HUGE amounts of different sites across the city, Yep you guessed it. Some numpty is sitting by his CCTV screen picking us out at least once a week. FFS.

Shooting fish in a barrel ! 100% money making operation. They would be more productive stood by the layby saying 'you can't park here', rather than taking money making photos.

mate, our vans get tickets regulary thru the post as they issue them using CCTV in the streets and walkways.

something like "one of our cctv operators recorded you unloading on a red route...."

big brother is definately watching and making very easy money

I got a tciket by a smart car (aswell as a lot of people down my road), for being parked outside my own house down a residential street. Apparently as there is no white bay outside my house I'm not allowed to park there.

Tried to argue and asked them why there wasnt a bay outside my house and got told the space isnt big enough. BUT surely that all depends on the size of your car, theres definetly enough space for the matiz!!
