So I was walking down the street in St Andrews last weekend and noticed a motorbike parked up with a fixed penalty notice stuck to what little fairing he had on his bike. They've recently just brought in new parking meters here which give out little flimsy paper tickets which say you "must display clearly on your dashboard." So, a few little issues there...1) a motorbike doesn't have a dashboard; and 2) there is no sticky bit on the ticket so no way to stick it on to anything on the bike! So who's to say that that guy didn't have a ticket on his bike and either a) someone stole it and put it on their car; or b) it blew off in the wind.
Does anyone know if there's anything that can be done about that kind of fixed penalty in these situations? Surely without a dashboard then the ticket doesn't apply to motorbikes and if you can't stick it to anything then it's a waste of time! Laura xxx |

Cover your licence plate up with a bag. They aren't allowed to touch the bike.

They are allowed the reg off your tax disc though and you must display one of those or I belive they can impound it, and try telling a traffic warden that there not allowed to touch your bike.

Get some super strong velcro to attach your number plate to the bike, then just take the number plate with you when you leave the bike parked up!
![]() don't know what problems this might cause if your bike gets stolen tho! |

They removed all the bike bays in Luton center and replaced them with Pay and diplay which are un-usable by bikes, put the same question to the local council, one day they told me just to take the ticket with me, the next when I checked again I was told that not displaying would be an offence regardless of if I purchased the ticket or not and I'd have to display it cleary on the bike.
Idiots the lot of 'em. |
