Couldn't believe it this morning, parked outside a customer house to unload tools etc.

Ok, my rear tyre was 4" onto a zigzag line.

Anyway finished unloading, jumped back in to park up properly, and noticed a bloody parking fine!!

They must of been a right ninja and snuck in while I was unloading!!

Anyway fair cop I suppose.

It's only £35 if pay in 14 days so not too bad, but my concern is, on the ticket it states my tax disk expired in April.

It is taxed, I just haven't bothered to replace the disk.

Are they likely to send me another fine for failing to display?

Parking on Zig Zags can be endorsed as a 3 point offence. Today may have been a very bad day for you

It wasn't 4" though, the rear of the vehicle overhanging the zig-zag counts too.

Can a civil enforcement officer issue points? I thought only police officers can?

Fairly sure its a fine for failing to display a valid tax disc, could try and blag it had slipped out as it is taxed.
