i got a parking ticket last week ,so i thought id put some pics up to see what you all think
iv not paid it yet as i think it was unfair, i parked my car at 11pm and did not see them and didnt use my car the next day so didnt see it in the day light

iv sent a email off to the council and got a reply saying that they cant keep all the yellow lines in good condition due to cost ect ect

in the first pic , i was parked next to the car on the right ,but they say the lines are ment to be right up to that

stu

 

they cannot fine you because there isnt a solid line at the end stopping it and the other has faded ,why they didnt keep painting is just stupid if a line is broken in anyway then it is not valid
there is a website i think dedicated to this sort of thing

 

Ey up mate.

On the last pic the lines are still noticable but they are faded/worn to hell. I wouldn't pay the ticket and I would get dated photographic proof too. Should get out of it without paying.

 

as zs phil has said, they cannot enforce it

 

You "may" have a case against them, as the markings are not clear, BUT if they also have signs up on the posts then your screwed
Oh and ask them what they spend the money on, the paint isnt THAT expensive

I would argue the lines are not clearly defined. But the faded view shows paint going all the way along.
Further are there sign boards to indicate times of parking/not parking close to the area you parked in.
I understand that the lines are not "clear" to see but if signs are around telling the times to park/not park i do not think you have much chance.
I hope you win the day all the best.

 

they is signs up but where the solid yellow lines are

Parking Tickets - The Consumer Forums

a little bit down they are on about broken lines ect

 

My mate paid and then got the money back after the dispute.....those lines are not enforcable.

 

No chance, I'd tell them to f**k off (although in a much more polite manner!!)

 

Bit unfair, should be able to argue against that one. One thing though, picture looks like you are under a street lamp ? might need a bit more than 'it was dark'.

 

My mate got a ticket at work and complained because the line was broken just up from where his car was parked, they refunded him his money.

 

it has to be a solid line with a cap at the end , i got away with a few tickets by using that law

 

hi stuart i hope this will help, the law states that the signs must be lawfully placed which i would be sure they are, but they must also be clearly visible , you cannot be penalised for the lack of their upkeep, what if they did not paint them at all. i have successfully contested parking fines on this basis and won. the key words are LAWFULLY PLACED and CLEARLY VISIBLE which these are not. go for it good luck.

 

mate i would tell them to stick it,and fight it out,its down to them to paint the lines on the roads so we can see them..anyway there not SOLID yellow lines,for all you know they might of tried to burn them back off so people can park there...well thats what i would say

 

had a similar challenge a few months ago, had to appeal with photo evidence to get it withdrawn

wiley

 

go there with the photos you put up on here (and maybe afew more ) how can you lose???!!!!!!!!!!!
