Well the labour government are clutching at straws trying to balance the books.again they are useing the motorists to try to top up the fast becoming empty pot...Well when people grumble,...some body voted them in.(pleased to say I didn't)
For the ones who haven't heard yet,they are to use CCTV to get details of vehicles parked on yellow lines and the like.On the radio today someone in London(i think) got a fine in the post when stopped to let an old lady cross..
Where will it end... |  |  | | 31st March 2008, 17:29 | #2 (permalink) | | Super Tenerifian Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Poole Gender:  Posts: 3,186 My Mood:  | I think instead of parking fines, they should up the fines for drivers who still use mobile phones while driving!
So many times I have wondered why somebody is driving erratically and nine times out of ten it's because they are using a hand-held mobile. __________________

Where will it stop?
Will all new cars have transmitters fitted to record speeds driven and linked to Satellite trackers so they know the speed limits? __________________ A gourmet who counts calories is like a tart who looks at her watch

Gender: Posts: 2,188 | Parking fines and tickets.....    If you dont want a ticket then dont park where you should not.......simple! I will publish a book one day of all the excuses my Company gets when the motorists are appealing against tickets. Some are hilarious but lets not forget, they were only issued a ticket in the first place because they were parked where they should not be on double yellows etc, or driving through bus lanes etc. __________________

Make your mind up will you?

Your attitude towards this police officer is petty and vindictive. If it had been a civilian, you wouldn't even have turned your head. Because it was a cop, you have taken it upon yourself to bring this spurious complaint and waste god knows how much public money for no other reason than to give this cop a hard time. It's the same attitude as the person who photographed Jeremy Clarkson on his mobile while driving. They singled him out purely because of who he is and wouldn't have given it another thought had it been anyone else. A very sad way to be. __________________

A very sad way to be. | On the contrary, he broke the law & should pick up a fixed penalty ticket of £30 which is money into the coffers. If he was a decent law abiding member of society & hadn't parked in a dangerous & illegal manner, he wouldn't have the problem would he? My attitude is not petty, there is no worse crime than being a bent copper! | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |  Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts
