Maybe YOU'VE never been ticketed when not expecting to be, but many others have. Many people don't actually realise they are doing wrong until they are ticketed. Why does this mean they are parking like a ***? Yes, many people do, but many others don't realise they are parking illegally. It's an easy mistake to make. I'm not saying that it's not easy to tell around Hillsborough. I can't comment on how easy it is to tell, as I find it very strange to see people parked on grass verges and pavements game in, game out, and not get ticketed. I've never parked, or needed to park that close to the ground as I always walk down. For example, though, some places you park around Fratton in Portsmouth, there are no signs saying that it's restricted parking, but you will get ticketed because it's residents parking only, and you need a permit. For someone that's not from the area, it's easy to see why someone would feel hard done by for getting ticketed. Yeah. I think anyone who would rather starve than be a traffic warden needs to give their head a wobble. I'd clean pub bogs if I had to do it to put food on the table. I'm actually pretty surprised you can't see the logic behind that. If (and it's a big if) that's true about Portsmouth and they're handing out parking fines with no "residents only" signs, then you'd win an appeal. But I'll bet that there ARE in fact signs up, and people don't bother to check before parking up and leaving the car there. Again, I've never struggled with it. Don't know why others do.

OR at several car parks off herries Rd South. None of which exist any more I trust you now walk from loxley with it being just over the hill? If we moved to your desired Meadowhall location would it be any easier?.I think not. wherever you place a football stadium it's chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the logic behind it. Some of my friends HAVE cleaned pub bogs as one of several jobs they had at once in order to make ends meet. They just don't wish to be the kind of person who stitches people up for a living. It surprises me that you don't get that logic. On a long road, that have a speghetti bowl of roads linked to it, a post with a sign on either end is not sufficient enough for people to know that the area is residents only area. Congratulations on never being pinged with a ticket. I hope you never will and never see the grey areas that you believe don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the same thing about the police or the HMRC? I'll say it once more and then I can't be bothered arguing it anymore... Don't break the law, and don't get a ticket. Easy.

I'll say it once more and then I can't be bothered arguing it anymore... Don't break the law, and don't get a ticket. Easy. Sometimes, yes, I do. Imagine sitting in the trees videoing someone that doesn't know you're there and going past at 77 miles an hour. They probably also don't realise that they're speeding, because they're paying attention to the tailface that's straddling the middle and outer lane, but they end up with a fine and points on your licence. Yes, sometimes I do feel as though the bill are there to stitch you up. I won't put them all in the same category, as I've met many decent officers with plenty of common sense. Others don't possess that skill though. I'm glad you won't be arguing it anymore, and that you've said the same thing over and over, and for the final time. Now I won't have to say, over and over, that some people don't realised they are doing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldoldOwl Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 My understanding is that the only place where it is illegal to park on the pavement is London ( don't ask me why I know this bit of trivia!) however it is illegal to drive on the pavement so unless you have a chinook to drop your car into place you are stuffed...although I suppose the warden .can't book you for parking illegally. ( can traffic wardens book you for a moving car offence?) However parking on the pavement can be a real pain for pedestrians so can be a bit anti - social. I always used to park on on the pavement on Herries road and it was never an issue....suppose the path is quite wide there so room for cars and pedestrians....

@owlstalk Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 WAYS TO AVOID PARKING FINE AT GAMES 1) Travel to the game on the bus/tram (you can park at the park and ride if using tram)2) Pay to park in one of the numerous and many carparks around the ground3) If parking on the street ensure it's a LEGAL place to park4) Park a little bit further away in a legal place to park and walk a little bit further to the game Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ash76 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 They use the right rule from the Highway Code but it's down to interpretation. Rule 244 taken from https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/waiting-and-parking-238-to-252 states You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement in London, and should not do so elsewhere unless signs permit it. Parking on the pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments and people with prams or pushchairs. To me that says you can't park on the pavement anyway and any challenges against a ticket for doing so would be a total waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is you can park on the pavement as long as you do not impede people in wheel chairs, mobility scooters, mothers pushing baby carriages etc. enough for them to have to go into the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
