hi guys n galls sorry i havnt been on for a while but thought this may interest you, I have received a fix penalty notice for parking my car outside my house !!!!!!!! it states the offence is parking on the offside at night help its offence code 084 is some police officer takin the mick out of me please reply

If you park facing against the direction of traffic at night, you need lights on.

...I suggest side lights - head lights on a parked car facing the oncoming traffic is one of my many automotive pet hates!

hate to tell you...but it is technically an offence to park on the offside at night facing the wrong way!
You arent being had over but it is a little harsh
Appeal..write a grovelling letter telling them you parked it in daylight and didnt realise til you came out later in the night to find yourself with a ticket..you might get lucky

I thought it was only on a road 40mph or over you had to have sidelights on.

What is the name of the road in question? I'm guessing it must be a main one, or they are just being arses

no palatine road in wallasey a side street grrr

PaganJay might have a good answer for you mr Binky

ok will ask him lol

her - PJ's a lady

oops lol

Well shes female.......lol

Watch it sony - thin ice...

Ahem!!!

no offence

bollox lol

its just when you say lady i always get this picure of mrs bucket , mother in laws and old ladies having coffie mornings

thats not very LADY like......lol

oh ok - she's defintely not a lady lol - i just think of the transvestite laydees on bikes in little britain

No offence taken - I was merely toying with you Sony I'm in too much pain today to take such things personally hon.

Bit of useless trivia - Mrs Bucket was head girl at my school

Enough said

I didnt 1nt to mention them geezers lol

PJ I'm going to the dr about my hip tomorrow - just to keep everybody happy lol

As for the original reason for this thread - I'm scanning through Blackstone's and can't find anything so far. My suggestion would be to either do as Auditastic says and write the grovelling letter or just pay the fine.

I feel he is more likely to be better on this subject than me as it's his area (no insult intended Audi ) I'll see what I can find out though.

GOOD!!! If I have to go through what I went through today then why should you get off so easily

I need stronger drugs!!!

Best place to go is either http://www.5ive-o.org/forum/index.php or http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php or even both.

Was it issued by the council or the police? If the police then i think the only way is court, and the first site more helpful, if council, then the second site will go through everything they can to get you off it.

it was a police ticket so it looks like court hmmm well thanks for all your help guys and galls and sorry pj didnt mean to start all this lol hehe

Sorry only just noticed this post, anyway it is an offence if your side lights were off at the time (they usualy take photographic evidence btw).

I bought a car from auction last year and it broke down on Leasowe Rd (by the golf course) because of its situation and as there was a st light out i pushed it over the embankment onto the opposite side of the Rd as it was safer due to more light and the fact peeps often speed on that strech by the golf course.

I forgot about it until about a week n half later (had quite few cars at the time) when i went to collect it it had gone.

It was at this time that i was told it was removed by the police under section blah blah due to the way it was parked.
The officer explained that because they could not trace me (i`d only just got it) & because the sidelights were not on of a night it had to be removed.

What i couldnt figure out is why they couldnt trace me when it was on the MID as i put every car i buy on there straight away?

I learnt my lesson the hard way, lol, i wont do that again, i lost my car as it was not worth the money to get it back out the pound.

well im glad it was my van and not the scooby, if they had taken that it would have killed me sorry to hear about your car ste and everyone welcome at the seacombe ferry ive just taken the pub on and need all the help i can get so see ya all down here
