Default England a step closer to BB (my dad's £100 parking ticket)

My dad has just got a nice big fat £100 parking ticket as he stopped outside some offices to pick up some clients (hes a chauffer incase you dont know.)

Now you may think this is not anyting odd, and he probably did deserve the ticket.

Untill I tel you he got this ticket though the post. Yep a warden didn't even issue this ticket. Infact he was sat in the car for 90% of the time he was parked up. So where did this ticket come from??

A camera down the road.

It automatically took a photo of the car, timed how long it was there for, and issued the ticket for £100.

Big Brother is here, and its giving motorists parking tickets

Yeah, but only the people that park irresponsibly.

stu pm me the offence code and ill tell ya how to get out of it, im assuming its westminster as if so will be easy

btw if it is westminster the ticket was taken by a warden and ya dad drove off so it never hit his screen, loads of chauffers do as the old law was the parking ticket was a summons and had to be delivered by hand or placed on the car so if ya drove away ya never got it

ill bore ya wil all the crap another day, for now just give me the offence code and the name ofthe road it was on and ill tell ya what to say, ill also tell ya oldman how to get out of parking tickets he gets too , only works in westminster and with official chaufers too

fcukin disgraceful, welcome to blairs world

been sayin it for ages , the country is going down the pan, they fleece you for everything they can possibly think of.

thing is if we all kicked up enough shit it can be changed,
POLL TAX = RIOTS = abolished poll tax.
HIGH FUEL Prices = Baracades/road blocks at fuel depots = uk coming to a standstill = lower prices.

Probably get slagged off for this but riots and
trouble is the only language the coonts take any notice of, got to be big stylee though, not just a few hundred, they can handle that and keep it hushed up.

oh and to people who say well you shouldnt have parked illegaly, i deliver in london
and the place is a fookin pigsty for parking, how on earth people live there and own a car ill never know . the amount of times i stop and before i even get my arse of the seat theres a wanker with his notepad sprung from nowhere.
well yes, maybe i shouldnt park illegally, BUT THERE IS NO WHERE FOOKIN LEGAL TO PARK and youll be the first to moan if the shops aint got no milk or bread the next day wont you.

Fcukin bunch of coonts and yes im fooked off with this country and yes i will be trying to leave it, bastards

anarchy in the uk, too fookin right.

RS CAT, London is the worst, my brother does courier work-a lot of it to London, just befor xmas he was down in london with a load on and stopped on a double yellow as there was nowhere else to stop, traffic warden there said unload mate you'll be alright for a bit. anyway he unloads and drives off thinks fair play to warden-2 weeks later gets bill in post for fine, phoned up and was told a ticket was left on van etc.

had to pay

your actually "allowed" in a bus lane for "no more than 20 meters" and the cameras are sposed to have the recording software to prove it.
