In Merthyr our tickets are not 'sticky' they just sit on the dashboard.
Also, I always pay for three hours and never use it up so I give it to the person who is waiting to get in my space, there is ALWAYS someone waiting.
So I am a green person cos I re-use my ticket. don't think Graham be too happy if he knew tho.

The contract is to PAY and DISPLAY...fail to do both and you can be done.

no probs for you, but if cctv checked (and they do notice) the ticket receipient can be fined

Too right they should fine-as above, why should the attendant have to look through various tickets?

Old tickets look a mess, restrict vision and cause inconvenience.  As a rule of thumb, a car with a window full of tickets will probably have other "can't be arsed" issues like lights out, etc.

It is one of those rules, that *should* be interpreted by staff with a bit of sense-eg if only one other ticket on a different window, then ok, searching through 15 tickets-fine them, seize the car, crush it, then send them to the workhouse for being lazy and thoughtless, to work a treadmill to provide eco-electricity for Nickbat.  When they finally die of exhaustion, cremate the bodies to power a generator.
How do you become a traffic warden?

Now, you're on message CTP - well said

Eco-electricity?  :-?

Is that different from normal electricity?



I seem to have a reputation on here.  8-)

The government is going to make it specially for you, at a premium, with extra tax of course

Absolutely right, and as Vamps states this is old news. 

Almost as long as I have been driving I have known of the need to remove previous tickets....................especially when you are "topping up" your parking time!!

In fact you should also move your car to another space as I did recently three times over the space of six plus hours in a 2 hour limit street (as they all are) in the back streets of Paddington, London.

.........and down our way you have to enter the numbers of your registration plate so that they appear on your definately "non-transferrable" ticket!

Don't be, as they are very respectable streets nowadays!!

[Banjax]

seems fair, don't quite know what the ~Daily Mail is getting it's knickers in a twist for....it's not like you're going to get hit with a fine for having 2 or 3 tickets....but then, that wouldn't be news!!! ban this sick filth!!!!!!! 

ps i note, as is usually the case with the Mail that not one single council employee has actually been interviewed aside from the mysterious, unnamed "spokesperson"......do your job - you're supposedly journos - actually, if you were journos, the last place you'd work is the Mail, so fair do's, its like expecting a hard hitting expose on corruption in the Beano 

[Amigo]

As already said being a valet tart i don't spend all that time cleaning my glass to stick junk to it. The ticket gets left on the dash. I used to pass tickets with time left to others but again as said you have to punch in the 3 numbers on your reg so unless anyone only has 9 on thier reg it's a no go!

[albitz]

I think the point of the story was the fact that in certain areas this is now being enforced to the letter. The policy being to make a point of looking for an old ticket stuck somewhere on the car, and if you are lucky enough to find one dish them out a fine for failure to display or similar.There have been several cases reported recently in various papers of this type of thing happening.Obviously another revenue raiser from the soft target - evil planet wrecking, child murdering motorists. They have squeezed us but our pips arent sqeaking loud enough yet.

[sexydaz]

well if that happened to me i would go as far as court,no way would i pay the schemeing gets
