Parking ticket - advice please

[Allyxia]

Bad luck or obnoxious Policeman who knows!!!!

 

Parked on Double yellows legally using my disabled badge.

 

Went into post office purhcased stamp posted letter. Total 5 mins.

 

Came out parking ticket - reasons obstruction of junction.

 

Now I know I parked appr 8 foot from this junction as I parked right outside the window of post office.

 

I disputed the ticket there and then claiming that there was no obstruction and all my bagges were clearly displayed but the arogance and attitude of this man was appaulling. He even tried to claim i didnt need a disabled badge.

 

So its a classic case of his word against mine.

 

Any ideas?

how far was you from the junction.

i know that they will ticket you even with disabled badges but this seems a little harsh. post more info if you can.

Sounds like something under the Disability Discrimination Act, you should have asked him what medical school he went to. I would make an official complaint to the Police but check the distance, as you need to be 10 meters (30ft) away from the junction.

I would do as is advised above but if you are parked the correct distance away from the junction then put an official complaint in .If you just challenge the parking ticket itself I believe the officer is asked again and going by his reply is if they agree with the challenge or not.If he is as bad as you said then I can't see you getting anywhere with a straightforward challenge against the ticket.
