How about next time you see the traffic warden, get in your car and run her over. Then see to it that her comatose carcass gets a ticket for obstructing the highway.

terry you broke the law , end of.
you are the one name calling, you will look silly in court if you cant conduct yorself better than you have on here. i can sympathise with what you have done, unfortunatley in the eyes of the law you have parked illegally. good luck wit hany continued insults. |

Write to Council telling them you will appeal and why, and if any enforcement action is taken in the meantime, you will complain to the ombudsman. This works because firstly, Councils hate ombudsman reports; they cost the council £3,000 even when the council are exonerated. Secondly, they farm out the collection to private firms who they can't control, so won't be able to give the necessary assurance.
They will cave, seen it work a few times. |

Park a lorry on the wardens head imo.

By:
1 -ask the LA Highways Dept to define "loading"
2 - ask LA Licensing for guidance on picking up said person and your duty of care obligations By the time you have done this it is likely the fine will be revoked, if not appeal with the relevant definitions. |

Definitely appeal. Apparently about 40% of appeals are granted.
|

I definately wouldn't pay up, after all it wasn't my taxi.

As a wheelchair user, I used to get the same taxi driver all the time, and he would always park with at least 2 wheels on the pavement or even all 4 wheels on a really wide pavement as it made getting in and out of the car so much easier.
We were often threatened with tickets, but when the wardens realised the circumstances they would usually let us off. We got ticketed twice by jobsworths both of which were cancelled on appeal (a letter along with a statement from my doctor or district nurse listing my disabilities. ) So ,if you have your passengers details, and they are willing to help, I would definitely appeal. ;) |

By:
he doesnt like the idea of going to court with me but says he"ll write a letter explaining,the odd thing with both ncp and worthing borough counsil is either of them mention him just that i was illegal parked,so in their view end of and pay up
|
|
By:
Try threatening the council that you're engaging the services of a solicitor, and reporting it to the local paper.
|
|
By:
i think that they think ill just keel over and pay up,which aint going happen,i cant forget the wardens smirking faces like its some kinda fvcking joke,oh look its the blind man and taxi driver lets give em a ticket ho ho
|
|
By:
Your passenger sounds a bit of an ungrateful t wat, after all, you got into this mess trying to help him.
And it's that kind of behavior that could make you think twice before helping someone with a disability next time. Whatever happens, good luck. |

Join the masons Mccann to avoid this type of thing ;)

By:
he is and i will
|
|
By:
howdi, whats your problem?
he has asked for advice and i have given it from the eyes of the law. he may be lucky and get away with it if it goes to court, but if he dont (as he has commited teh offence) he will be liable for costs too. all you heros advising him to do this do that take on the world whatever will prob all end up costing him more money but hey thats ok cos your the nice guys |

By:
you are making yourself look a twt now.
can you not understand the law. the parking restriction is there for a reason, taxi drivers picking up blind people doesnt alter that, same as you cant shoot burglars, you should be able to but you cant , (well like you with your parking , you can , but not legally) |
|
By:
you can shoot burglars.
|
|
By:
look for the last time u clown, yes illegally parked for a minute but the man im picking up is BLIND AND CANT WALK, so do i just fvck off and leave him to somehow get home or hope the wardens have some human feelings and wait a precious 30 seconds and let me help into the car and away
|
|
By:
you just have to tidy up properly
|
|
By:
i know what u saying , but the courts wont take it that way , they will say you should have parked further down in a proper spot , they will clobber you for costs if you lose, which you prob will.
|
|
By:
lol like saying you illegally shot some one, but it was only for 2 seconds :)

age21 may be incorrect.
I confess I'm no expert on the civil parking enforcement system, but I believe penalties only apply for non-payment. This would be an appeal (ultimately) to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal arguing that mitigating factors apply and that the council should apply its discretionary powers and waive the penalty. Go here, it may help http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/parking-ticket-appeals#mit |
