"well it's not actually a traffic offence so there is nothing that we can do about it"

Erm yes it is!

If there is a plated sign up where the lines are stating the times that you cannot park there i.e. school times, then yes something can be done. Street near us has zig-zags & signs up and theres been a problem with numpties parking dumping there cars in the mornings and afternoons. Quick call to the council & they had their Smart car with CCTV enforcement out & ticketed the buggers.
Failing that PC Plod can ticket for 'Causing un-necessary obstruction'

Unfortunately when you (ie Me) complained by email about taxi drivers pulling up on the inside lane of a dual carriageway outside a train station despite an empty lay-by a few yards away, their lack of acknowledgement was truly deafening. 

OK ..... not zig-zags, but still causing an obstruction

Thanks for the clarification Jason, I checked for plates and there are none - its only a small village school.  PCSO sometimes attends but she can only offer advise to drivers apparently.

Errm....... PCSO's can hand out tickets (if they've had the training  ) Well our in Cheshire do,  they also can request duty garage to tow the offending vehicle away too.

I have a cheap dash cam in my truck works fine, it comes on when i start moving, Have an 8gb card in it which gives me 4 hours before it loops back to the start, To me it's good enough, Cost me approx £28 to £30 with the card.

Any link to the camera  Ive been looking for a few days now and still no nearer to getting one ... There is a fair bit to look for , like :

Fps
Night time vision quality
Camera able to capture number plate ect ect . Maybe im being too picky and should just go for the one ive short listed  There's a lot on egay stating company address in uk but click on company details and are all in china  so any problem with the camera will be difficult to return

You just not going to get good specs for peanut prices.


This is what mine looks like, not exactly small and unobtrusive ! It can be used with the screen folder away, which is better



 . . . . and this is some video

Thanks for that rog  Think ill go for a mid range price one . One thing i noted was that if you use say a class 10 card it can cause problems ... so mid range on the class should be recommended

I considered buying one of these in the link below but decided I would have to do some serious editing before I could use mine as evidence. 
Shoot and foot springs to mind.

Had a couple of occurances of what I believed where attempts at "cash for crash" so I bought one of these after much deliberation. Budget price, does the job, decent pics if needed.
