Just popped to the shop for 5 mins and I got a flipping ticket!! Does anyone know if the car is half accross them and half off, if the the fine is invalid because you have to be fully on em??

Jen

Nope - it's to do with your wheels - you have the wheels on them then you have the fine.... but other Councils/police forces may do it differently... Sorry!

BittenEdges

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

Jen

Might be worth checking the lines have the end bar markings on though and there's no gaps in them

BittenEdges

Will do thanks. Me tinks I will get a flamer kit mod specially for Traffic Wardens!! lol!

go back to where you got done, check the lines to see if there is a clean breaks anywhere in the lines (ie, worn away must be a clean break only needs to be a cm thats all),and go to the end of the lines and see if they end like this ======| now a lot dont get repaired and end up like this ===== now if this is the case then they cannt do you again 100% and tested by me

Freak

Correct.

If it is the case that the lines are broken/not capped, get a picture of said line, as they have been known to whizz out and touch them up if someone appeals on that basis

BittenEdges

Sweet! Thanks guys, have checked and the T is breaking up at the end with about a 5cm gap!!

No sympathy. The lines are there for a reason.

I once was about to move my car, as I had parked about 50% on double yellow lines, with the rear wheels on them, the front of the car parked legally. Traffic warden informed me that both wheels needed to be on the lines before he could write me a ticket, and my car was leggaly parked. This was in Scotland though, so not sure if same rules apply ?

place in town still hasnt repainted the yellows lines after i won my parking fine now i have my own parking space warden just looks at me and walks off lol

If there's a break in the lines....our council started to put double yellows down but due to parked cars, they had to miss a car's length of road. Took them ages to finish it off cos people kept parking there all the time and nothing could be done about it. I think it was done at 3am in the end - nice overtime for the contractor!

lol
near where i used to live in london, the borough council decided to change to doubles on one street...
they LIFTED the cars parked at the side of the road in order to paint underneath them, then plonked them back down!!!!!
