There are no signs, thats what irritated me but I thought the dyl were to stop people parking on the main road and had no effect in the side street. I can see your point about the front of the car encroaching the kerb (yea sorry mines the blue mondeo), I thought with the wording of the offence being parked in a restricted street (which I would assume is the main road) and me being behind the lines in the side street I could appeal it. If the offence was blocking the pavement/walkway it should have been issued with a different offence code.

Parked in a side street off a main road, many other cars parked there on the day, it was at the side of a cscs test centre, but mine was the only one booked. The offence stated was parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours. Id have thought though that the dyl were to stop people parking on the main road and cant see why I should be charged for parking in a side street with no dyl on the ground. Should I refuse to pay it? Thanks.
