Police Issued Parking Ticket -

[Demtootief]

I parked on what I thought was a single yellow line (one of the line is absolutely and completely faded), for 5 minutes to pop into a Lawyers office. As I was going in I saw a Police car on the opposite side of the street about two car lengths away. There were roughly about 6 other cars already parked when I pulled up, insomuch that I had to reverse back between two cars. None of the other cars had any tickets on, so I thought that it was ok to park, which I did.

 

When I came out, there was a Ticket on my car stating that on 27/07/08 from 1550 to 1555 hours. I intend to contest the ticket on 2 grounds:

 

1. The yellow lines were and still are faded, and

 

2. None of the other cars that were parked received a ticket.

The other cars are irrelevant.

 

We can't really judge how faded the other line is without seeing a photo, but if you want to challenge it, you'll have to wait for your date in court.

sometimes the authorities bin these through lack of evidence, I agree the other cars are irrelevant post the line up so we can see.
