Yellow Line Madness

Have those yellow lines got a 'T Bar' on the end. If not then you could get your ticket cancelled!

Same thing happened to me last year in Wimbledon Village. Parked up overnight (celebrating my birthday) went back to the car in the morning to find a ticket. Looked at the road, saw that the line had worn out where I had parked (although it was restricted) and no signs.

Wrote a letter to Merton council saying no line, no fine (in a roundabout way) and got a letter back after about 4 months saying that they were not going to pursue this matter any further at this time.

CTS!

What about those intermittent lines, kind of like - - - - - - where you cant park between certain times, do these have to have a T bar on them as well?

OK fellas,

When you need to park somewhere you shouldn't, and you know that you cant park anywhere else:

Bring a can of quick-dry black spray paint innit!

Ha ha ha, I come from Bedale, this guy is a local celebrity - it's one of those towns with stupid parking restrictions everywhere useful (so the bloody tourists can wander around without having to see locals spoiling their picturesque photos) - the shopkeepers hate them, the locals hate them and this guy is bought drinks in every pub he goes in now.
