Parking Ticket

[heros]

Ok iv been issued a parking ticket for not parking in a motorcycle parking bay (was parked next to it) am wondering whether i have a leg to stand on to argue this as i was under the presumption parking for motorcycles was free in my council area? i mean on the pay & display boards theres no mention motorcycles having to park in the designated area or whether parking is free.

Depends if you want the hassle really, and the costs, it can end up costing a fair bit more if you contest it and fail.

I guess the "no mention motorcycles have to park in the designated area" bit is covered by the usual "park within marked bays" - which is naturally aimed at stopping chelsea tractors parking across two bays, but could equally be applied to motorcycles if the council wants to interpret it that way.

Is motorcycle parking free within the bike bay? If so then I'm guessing their line would be "you weren't parked within the bike bay, therefore you pay car prices".

If you weren't obstructing anyone, or taking up an otherwise fee generating space then it sounds more than a little harsh, but probably a "tough luck" situation tbh. Baph's getting quite inventive in his parking disputes, he may drop by and give some better ideas

$2? You joking? That's all of £1 - less than it costs to park most places here.

So what did you get fined for???

Parking fines are €30 and upwards around here! $2?!

Ladies & gents, I think the man means $200, not $2.00

no it was $2.00 two dollars just enough to **** you off seeing as you know they just suckered $250 dollars out of me in court fees.

What were you doing in court, or is that too rude to ask?
