wrong on so many levels

[peanutsallergy]

Well, I know I keep banging on about PPC's getting smarter, but it's good to know the opposite is true as well.

 

A completely new "offence" has been invented, as a complete opposite of a parking charge.

 

I saw a sign today, as I passed through a town, which was a "no parking" charge.

 

 

On a small trading estate/shop front, serving a single shop, with a sign saying "No thoroughfare" and words to the effect pictures will be taken, and a charge of £70 will be made.

On a sign visible after you turned in, and had to continue past to leave again.

 

So, you drive in, to a shop premises open to the public, and if you don't park, it's 70 quid!

If you park, it's free.

 

And it doesn't lead to anywhere, it's just the front of the shop. So it's not even a thoroughfare.

 

 

And the best bit of all- it's on a 24hr drive thru!

 

Which also isn't a drive thru, as you have to stop, and go in the shop, which is only open in the day, not 24hrs. The drive thru bit is an out of hours drop box, that needs to be pre arranged.

 

 

I didn't entirely see the name on the sign, but I believe, it was these.

So, not a member of the BPA, (how do you get thrown out) so can't get the RK details from the DVLA, - or can they.

It's not a parking ticket, it's a not-parking ticket!

Some signs are very badly worded. I have seen examples which say something like "Parents and children only in designated bays". Does that mean if you have a child with you you can only park in those bays and no others?

Or no cars - just the parents and children to be left in the designated bays?

Or, bay's that are marked, "Disabled drivers only", once I leave the vehicle, I'm no longer a driver, so just how do I get from the side of the car, to a position outside the bay!

 

Or, if I have a passenger with me, and he/she is not disabled, how exactly do they stand [i know, it was intended!]

 

What about my usual passenger, she also holds a blue badge in her own right, and is far more disabled than I, so she becomes a "Disabled passenger", and has no rights in the bay, at all.

 

And what about if she drives her [Motability], car in, and I drive it out - ooooh! I could go on, and on!

you was about to enter the shop but realised you had left your wallet at home so couldnt

Most of these PPC's should not be allowed to use the English language; on the grounds that it is obviously too much of an intellectual challenge for them.
