SpringTime Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Contest it (unless you have parked in a very silly position and/or for an unreasonable term relative to the location). If you contest unsuccessfully then pay up quickly.Massively annoying experience to many of us stopping for a couple of minutes on an errand/appointment/actually helping someone in need... when we see more serious civil breaches and crimes committed daily and without impunity?

Alan Medic Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 If you were parked illegally, that's one wrong. What's the other one? It's not getting caught is it?

malumbu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Trouble with traffic enforcement is that only the innocent ever get caught.

malumbu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Look it it both ways - only the law abiding tax paying community spirited people like me get caught, when we see rrrrs who could't give a frig who have no social conscious speed, park on pavements, drive down bus lanes etcOr the I am innocent, the signage was unclear etc etc.I've been that as well, but disputing penalties has never got me anywhere.There's a serious issue on proportionality - there is no simple warning system for those with a minor transgression, yet for example roads and time of day when there is zero enforcement of restrictions. Yet if you get stopped for undue care and attention you may well get a warning or go on a speed awareness course, rather than points and a fine. I've given up trying to make this point to government, local authorities etc. The negative side is that overzealous enforcement does alienate decent people.

Blah Blah Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Parking enforcement and the fine system that comes with it is a scam. Someone can go from not paying a ?40 PCN to literally owing thousands and losing their vehicle to bailiffs. How can that be right when more serious infractions, like driving with no insurance, have fines capped?

Spartacus Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Blah blah, wait till fines for LTN infringements start piling up.Still that's one way of reducing car usage, send in the bailiffs to seize the cars from people who accidently go into one of the new gated streets so that they will never ever do it again ! 😱Shhhssss nobody suggest this to council officers 🤔 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/274586-two-wrongs-dont-make-a-right/#findComment-1482504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
malumbu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 As I get older I become more tolerant, apart from persistent anti-social drivers where I would happily crush their cars!

gbal30 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Worth noting in case this helps anyone - there are circumstances where it is legal to park for a period of time on double yellows when loading/unloading, but it does vary by borough. Southwark info is under the yellow lines section here https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/guide-to-parking/loading-and-unloadingMy advice would be - check the time limit (40 mins in Southwark), make sure you are visibly loading/unloading - have a door or boot open if possible and particularly hazard lights on, do not block anything, don?t do it where it is forbidden (look for perpendicular yellow lines on the kerb), and pop a ?loading only? note on your dashboard. Hope this helps.Edit: at your own risk of course!
