i don't know how many of you out there have been the victim of these cars... but as a victim (as well as the brother of, son of, friend of, enemy of other victims) of one of these devious little machines this story did bring a glow to my heart...

with many councils scrapping them (along with Speed Cameras), and incidents like this, is the tide finally turning in favour of the motorist?

Yup I've been nicked by this, it regularly has been seen parked either illegally or in dangerous places at last something has been done.
Now all they need to do is dump the whole idea!

The council said its officers can legally park on double yellow lines if it is the "only safe option".
Hypocritical bunch or arseheads.

I presume these noddy cars will go the same way as they scamera van.

Great example of immature councillors spending money on tripe, just because they can.

Who is going to respect a smart car with a periscope anyways, lol smile

Whenever I see these nazi's parked near bus stops etc, the cynic in me wonders if it would be easier for a criminal to mug someone/rob a shop nearby, rather than park on a yellow/double yellow. After all, their presence isnt for crime prevention....

I've been nicked too. That's the chance you take when double parking...
