"Drivers who 'pay and display' to park their cars are being fined if they leave earlier tickets showing on their windscreen.

Council traffic wardens are exploiting a legal loophole to penalise motorists who have paid but simply forgot to remove a previous stub from their dashboard or window.

If wardens, or parking attendants, can see more than one ticket, they can fine the motorist."

Yep, that sounds about right as we're now monitored by petty minded, half-brained, puffed-up excuses for enforcement officers who, for the most part, occupy their grubby positions as a result of being less expensive to employ than the real thing, and for their ability to generate income for this discredited money grabbing government!!

Which reminds me,I went to visit my daughter in her new flat in London just before Christmas.I wasnt completely sure of where I was going and missed my turning but realising my mistake I went around the oval shaped road at Aldgate and came back to Commercial road , which was where I should have turned.
A few days ago I recieved a £60 fine as apparently I had for all of 60 seconds inadvertantly driven about 150 yards inside the congestion zone.
I am a blue badge holder so if I wanted to go in aand out of the zone I could register to do so,if I had realised that I had driven into it I would have payed up. No doubt there are plenty of signs etc, but I was pretty stressed and trying to find my way while coping with London traffic, so I didnt think to look.
I am going to appeal, but you can only do this as far as I can ascertain by way of hand written letter.Another licence to print money.

Old news....... I remember getting a parking ticket in 1978, in Darlington, left it on the screen and then parked the next day.  I thought they would look and see a ticket and leave it at that, Wrong, I got another ticket, my own fault, as are most parking fines.....

I think that I could use that reply (previously used) - with great justification - to cover many of the complainants we see on here, a sort of one riposte fits all sort of thing.

see this a lot, loads of people driving around with old tickets stuck on the window, would bug hell out of me. Now i know what they did it

And even when you legally park somewhere, they'll alter evidence/photo's to support their own case when they opps up!

[bertiecbx550]

I was told the other day that the wardens in wolvo just take a photo of you and your vehicle and then send the ticket or fine direct to your address....I`d of thought this to be illegal as it could open to fraud..... :-/ :-/

I think I may start the appeal letter - My uncle Zulu says you are petty minded,half brained.........

[waspy]

Don't be so idol & leave old tickets stuck to the window. It's the first thing i do upon return to my car.
I see loads of folk driving around with old tickets stuck to their windows & it's a driving hazard.
The longer you leave the stuck the harder they are to remove too.

Serves them right if they get a fine, why should the parking attendent trawl through ten tickets to find the correct dated one :-/

[cruisetopoland]

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?

Exactly. What's the nearside rear footwell for, after all.
