• private parking- new law against motorists!!! 5 May 2011 (Forum)
  , under a criminal statute, by powers to allow the private parking parasites to pursue the registered keeper, also to force them to reveal the driver or face the fine. I cannot believe our own Government are going to allow it's own citizens to be harassed and persecuted by these vutures. I

  ." There were no advance warning signs up when I parked the car. 11 days after I parked the car, the removal and line paining took place.

• Cameras on M-Way Service Station "back roads" 2 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Watch out - they are fining you now for using these when you buy your parking ticket. I managed to get away with it today, but I have suspicion I was otherwise heading for a fine of some sort. Probably a civil job so possibly more about scare tactics than securing a prosecution. No doubt

• Traffic flow & Park and Ride 6 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Our local county council is determined to force through a park and ride scheme near where I live. Now I am in favour of well designed park and ride schemes, but this one's a real pigs ear. The plan relies on a complex set of traffic lights being installed on a roundabout on the A12 trunk road
