hello peeps.......

just thinking that i've never seen a 'real world' list/checklist/flowchart/whatever for checking the validity of speeding/parking/etc aledged offenses.

I don't mean things like not signing NIP's, and other stuff that needs testing in court, but bog standard balls ups that not everyone knows about.

for instance,
parking on double yellow lines.....
does the end of the double yellows have the yellow bar that's required by the road signage and useage regulations?

parking tickets not being valid until issued,

NIP's franked outside of 14 days

that sort of thing

There is no single source of reference for what you want but it will be covered somewhere on the box in front of you.

If you have an interest then start with the statute law on the subject i.e.

Traffic Signs and General Directions 2002 which will tell what a lawful yellow line looks like to be lawful (yes T Bar at the end in the majority of cases)

Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 for the law on NOIP's.

But that is just a smidgeon. The Times Law reports for stated cases, Court of Appeals decisions, High Court Judgements, and your later point :

Click on PATAS letter Spring 2007 - ticket has to be put on the vehicle or given to the the driver.

...and then there are the books on law. A good one if you can get hold of it is Stone's Justices Manual (vol 1,2 and 3) published every year at over 300 notes a time. Wilkinson's Traffic Law again well into three fiqures.

Not forgetting as a primer The Highway Code and Police Roadcraft.

Trouble with flowcharts is that they are easily either too detailed or banal.


Did the other side do everything properly Y/N?

Y -> Go to jail.
N -> Get off.

Note that most of DVDs examples above don't apply to London, where no amount of technicalities on the DYLs will bind the adjudicator to agree with you if the lines are otherwise clear
