parking ticket in hire car
Discussion
hey just a quick question:
got a ticket from one of those lovely people walking around all day and sticking stuff to your windscreen.
just wondering if anyone has ignored one before and what happened about it or what are the chances ill be caught and told to pay the full £70
or is it a case just pay the £35 and move forward

ive done a bit more reading on it,
the road had restrictions on it so i parked up on the kerb all 4 wheels where on the pavement so i wasnt on the road, now in london they have rules saying you cant park any wheels on the kerb but doesnt say outside of london.
there was plenty of room around my car you could easily fit a woman a push chair a stupid dog and another child next to them and still not have to yeild to get around the car.
wouldnt anyone else appeal or would you again purely just ignore it all?

Do more reading, in particular the Highway Code.the road had restrictions on it so i parked up on the kerb all 4 wheels where on the pavement so i wasnt on the road, now in london they have rules saying you cant park any wheels on the kerb but doesnt say outside of london.

Then pay the fine.

You've only gone and cracked the special code. Nobody has ever considered parking on the pavement being the perfect parking crime before. You sir, are a genius.

I really am struggling that you've actually admitted to that on PH.
But sounds like a great defence, so I'd follow it all the way to court.
bikes do it often, park on kerbs and they dont get tickets for itBut sounds like a great defence, so I'd follow it all the way to court.
same as car tax if your wheels arent on road then your dont get a ticket for no tax. if your driveway is open to to the road then your car is technically not off road, there are a lot of loop holes/ stupid little niggly bits

Yes, there are certainly some stupid niggly bits, aren't there?

I can assure you we (bike riders) do get tickets for doing just that!same as car tax if your wheels arent on road then your dont get a ticket for no tax. if your driveway is open to to the road then your car is technically not off road, there are a lot of loop holes/ stupid little niggly bits
The rest of that post is just hilarious.

How have you managed to survive this long?same as car tax if your wheels arent on road then your dont get a ticket for no tax. if your driveway is open to to the road then your car is technically not off road, there are a lot of loop holes/ stupid little niggly bits
OP- just make sure you check the small print of your hire agreement. Some agreements have clauses that will charge you the value of the vehicle in order to pass registered keeper status on to you in the event of a parking/speeding ticket. This is to avoid protracted disputes between the hire company/local authority/hirer.
It could be an expensive mistake.
