Dizzy, where in Kent are you exactly?
Other things to be aware off;
* coppers with radar guns in the bit of road where you just going to go faster,
* smart cars with cameras that wait for peeps to stop to drop off in bus stops,
* camera vans opposite the static ones so you get caught regardless of your knowledge
* CCTV at traffic lights, jump the red light- get done, Leave your ar$e in the box junction-get done
* CCTV where no right/left turns are

NO PARKING on pavements unless the area is designated, in the Greater London ie London Borough of Bexley (where I remember your GF lived) is included.
Bexley has a station and if you are close to the center you will have residence parking, as everyone wants to be near the station in the morning.

In my road (dead end), bays on the pavement, leave wheels out, a Muppet on the moped turns up and you get fined-no obstruction is being caused.

You'll be a bit wiser from now on won't you...

I'm in Sidcup at the mo, and I know all about those CCTV smart cars! I'm pretty sure that's how I've been ticketed. These cars drive around all day collecting footage that a tea can go through afterwards. Needless to say Bexley council have had a huge revenue increase since outsourcing traffic policing.... and doubling all the fines.

And as for being wiser, certainly! After the first ticket came through I did enough research that I think I could park in any town for free now . I know most loopholes (invalid / insufficient signage, wrongly marked bays) Sadly I've just got a backlog of tickets that keep arriving in the post!

These buggers:

They haven't needed to be yellow since 2007. Even before then it was only 'speed camera partnerships' that it applied to .... and it was voluntary!

the guy must look like a p***k drving round in a camera'd up smart car

Like they care, worse scum than traffic wardens.

So what's the point of having a number plate then?

Who says it even needs to be your own

That's just diabolical.

Around here someone would set it on fire.
