My balls are fine thanks, and I made no mistake in parking as there is no LEGAL enforcement or signage for the "no parking"
Well that's a relief!

You mentioned you parked ona private road. There may well be now legal enforcement or signs (not signage, that's Nuspeek not English) in place but equally you have no legal right to park where you deem fit.
Whether the road is owned by the housing developers (who run the apartments) or not is neither here nor there. It is open to the public (no gates), has no legal signage that says "you will be clamped", and my parking there was not obstructing anyone.
Private area... what would you do if they simply towed the car away since clamping isnt allowed?
They can't tow the car away... that is the point, it is a road freely open to the public.
Road, not car park
Parking on a road is perfectly legal unless there is a valid no parking zone thing parked out
What? Like, say, signs saying it's a private road?
Doesn't matter if it says PRIVATE road

a legal document said:
“Urban road” is defined in Section 15(12) to include, broadly, those roads subject to a speed
limit of up to 40 mph. “Road” is not defined in the 1974 Act: but is defined in Section 142 of
the 1984 Act (i.e. The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984) as:
“.... any length of highway or of any other road to which the public has access ...”


...


Put simply, at Common Law, a “highway” is a way over which all members of the public have
the right to pass and re-pass without hindrance
This is a quote from a 10 year old parking ticket case in London.

You have the right to park on an "Urban Road", provided no legal signage saying you cannot do so is not in place.
In order for something to be classed in the eyes of the law as a private it has to have a gate.

Is it a through road or a cul-de-sac
It is a cul-de-sac, which still doesn't matter in the eyes of the law as the public has unrestricted driving access to it.
It would, perhaps, be another matter were I to park in one of the parking spaces designed for residents, but parking on the actual road is perfectly legal.
So if you park on a private road, then you should pay maintance for the road for wear and tear then?

I wonder if this would help the OP

http://www.parkandride.net/oxford/html/oxford_park...

what does it cost?

redbridge, seacourt, pear tree: parking £1 per day

maximum stay: 24 hours

thornhill, water eaton: parking free

maximum stay: 72 hours

Seems as if Oxford DO provide lots of free and cheap parking outside the city.

Oh sorry, the lazy cheapskate wants it for free and near the centre and handy for his personal destination.

How many directorships was it again?

I have mentioned this before, but to go via public transport I'm looking at far longer travel time than to do by car and park.

By but it is 40 min bus ride, 15 min walk, waiting for bus before all that, and then also getting to bus stop.
By car it is 20 mins (even in morning traffic as I know the short cuts) and 5 min walk

Yeah but look at it another way, with the bus and shank's pony you don't have anywhere for anyone to stick no parking notices and no chance of being nicked for littering for chucking the bits of the no parking notice on the floor.

Works both ways.

WOW! When has owning and running a car become a necessity rather than a luxury? AGAIN! If you cannot afford to or are unwilling to pay for one of the paid for parking then why are you running a car??? Whatever did people do before cars became so affordable most households have one? I have absolutely no idea!!!

Why? because ordinarily you would have just left the litter on the floor and not been caught littering? That is a stealth tax to you? Lets all throw our litter on the floor then as its just a stealth tax for being given a ticket for littering.

They are there to allow the normal BiB to get on with the more serious crimes and not have to deal with the frankly petty stuff... Its not stealth tax... If you dont want the fine, dont do it... surely that is not difficult eh?
Exactly. A blatant, 'I read stealth tax in the press so will use it' to sound like I'm politically savvy' post. Down with the system!

Next he'll cheapen the atrociousness of Nazi Germany by making some unjust reference to it... Oh wait.

Although I suspect the OP would like to think otherwise, his 'antics' are so inconsequential in daily policing I doubt anyone would bother speaking of this event after it was concluded.

I have mentioned this before, but to go via public transport I'm looking at far longer travel time than to do by car and park.

By but it is 40 min bus ride, 15 min walk, waiting for bus before all that, and then also getting to bus stop.
By car it is 20 mins (even in morning traffic as I know the short cuts) and 5 min walk
Yeah but look at it another way, with the bus and shank's pony you don't have anywhere for anyone to stick no parking notices and no chance of being nicked for littering for chucking the bits of the no parking notice on the floor.
Agreed oldsoak, plus I call BS on his proposition for public transport.

Park at Seacourt P&R for free.
10 minute bus ride. £2.50 return
get off at New Road (say)
400m(ish) walk to the scene of his littering humiliation, prob less to where he really wants to go.

Oh dear, really not going well for OP now.

WOW! When has owning and running a car become a necessity rather than a luxury? AGAIN! If you cannot afford to or are unwilling to pay for one of the paid for parking then why are you running a car??? Whatever did people do before cars became so affordable most households have one? I have absolutely no idea!!!
Would you rather I didn't work?
Probably.... Considering its 2pm now and you've done nothing but bh on a public forum for 4 hours today... someone else could probably get that job who doesnt mind taking the bus...

lol OT, someone changed the title of the thread? I though it was something different from that!?! :S
Not at work today as I finished basically 2 days worth of work yesterday

Rush hour to get into city centre from P&R (Thornhill being best/closest) is 30-40min
