Normally when I read the complaints of motorists fined for various minor speeding or parking offences on your page in the Motoring section of the Saturday Telegraph I adopt the view that if the rules are clear we can't complain. I am indeed happy to contribute to the millions of pounds recovered in parking fines in London alone each year if there is an inherent logic to the restrictions that reflect a focus on the greater good. Today, (Bank Holiday Monday) I received a parking ticket for parking on a single yellow line that had a Mon-Fri parking restriction. It would appear that the ticket placement is legitimate in that Bank Holidays are normal days as far as parking restrictions are concerned. Does this apply to all national holidays (Good Friday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day etc.)? If not, why are bank holidays singled out? How can restrictions be justified on public holidays, which are logically like Sundays? Is this if not yet another form of sly taxation?
