as you guys might know im a cabbie and i had a job to pick up a blind disabled man from a shop and take him home,anyhow im in the shop and hes paying 4 something at the counter and i see two female ncp wardens eyeing up the car,so i dash out and say"whats the problem ladies"? "move it" she says "its on a loading bay" she says that the nearest place to park ok is a long walk up the road,i then explain that the guy is what he is and that he needs a helping hand asnd wont be able to walk that far and hes ready to go and ill be 30 seconds and we"ll be gone, well knock me down when we come out the nasty ** has put a fine on the car(only £70),i find that soo distasteful and now its got to the point where i either pay up or go to court,tell me guys what would you do in my place?

appeal
|
|
By:
Definitely appeal.
And get the blind/disabled guy and shopkeeper to back you up. Will look bad and discriminatory if this sticks. I reckon an appeal will be upheld. |

By:
That is a disgrace Terry - at least contact the superior at the local parking office and explain the situation.
|
|
By:
appeal terry and if you can get the shop's video showing the court the timescale you've just explained.
you will win. |

By:

Am i correct in some areas they can give you 5 minutes?
|
|
By:
yes you are m8 ie double yellows for instance but in this case,keep yer money in your pocket

I'm assuming that what you have said is the truth. If so, it would be unlikekly to result in prosecution. The disabled/blind geezer should really have a 'blue badge' to display in such circumstances, this would ease the problem. You can't blame the traffic wardens because, as one can see often on this forum, modern society seems to believe that's it's OK to lie to avoid a fine. :-(

By:
well little blonds one is correct so who are you,not a differcult question is it?
|

By:
Terry. Pretty heartless action, in that case. I would ensure that the 'higher-ups' are aware of the mitigating circumstances. After all, the law is for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools! Good luck.
