My advice is pay the fine. After all you were parked illegally FACT. I know its a pain but its only £25 now but a bigger pain later at £50. But if you think you have a good case and chance of winning go ahead.

In Edinburgh I was parked I thought ok but in fact it was a no parking zone. I thought we could park because we had my partners disabled badge up and that we could park on the double yellow lines. Turns out the sign half way down the street tells you no parking and the faded yellow stripes on the kerb also tell you the same. As they were badly placed I just didnt see them or missed them. However the moral of the story is this. In Edinburgh at least they all have digital cameras and pretty good quality too and the also have a website that you can appeal against your fine. If you do so within 10 days the fine is suspended at say £25 until the investigation is complete if you the are found still guilty of said charge you then get the chance to pay the £25 for the remaining days you had left when you first appealed. Only after all the days and suspended days are over the you would have to pay the £50.

In my case they had photos of the car from all 4 angles. Photo of the reg number. Photo of the tax disc. Photo of how far away I was from the kerb. photo of the stripes on the kerb. Good thing it was a good quality camera or they would never have seen them. And a photo of the sign with my car in the distance. I am suprised they didnt photograph the bird crap on the roof too.

Anyhow know how you feel and good luck with it. I appealed and got turned down but was able to pay the lower rate. £30 I think in Edinburgh. £60 afterwards. Oh and this was on a Sunday morning too.

Blimey,

Some people dont half talk some BS on here.

Blame everybody but the real people to blame and that is the banks and the politicians who made all the wrong decisions when things were going good. Wake up and smell the coffee.

ppp I am over 30 am I to blame?

I dont think so I go out to work every single day when I have a job. Currently unemployed because as a small business my boss could get no help from said banks or government to help out his small business which led to him closing the branch.

And when I was 18-21 I used to go to a club 3 and 4 nights a week. Thursday to Sunday and worked every day without missing a beat. When your younger you can go on less sleep anyhow.

Who is really to blame?

Just to add to the dont go with ebay feelings on the forum. Recently sold a bluetooth ear piece on ebay as it wasnt compatible with my partners phone and we couldnt be bothered taking it back to the store. I know it was working when I sent it because it worked with my phone. I dont accept returns unless there is a very good reason and I also post at the buyers own risk with such things like electronics. Well the guy says it didnt work. Now paypal have emailed me saying I have a higher than normal risk of returns and problems and I have to wait 21 days to take any of the money from my balance or receive positive feedback. I think this guy has complained but it could not be upheld because he took too long to report it but this must have triggered this off. Funny thing is that I have 100% good feedback rating not 99.6% or 95% but 100% so how is my profile a higher risk. Well anyway either advertise in Flypast or other auctioneers but do not trust the likes of ebay. I will be avoiding them now when I can.

Helping their sellers they are not. 😡

Andy,

I admire your professionalism in these matters and wish you well in the coming days/weeks in confirming the identity and laying another young man to his final rest.

RIP airman.

We will remember them.

The point being if we increase the speeds shouldn’t we increase the length of the slip roads?

I would say you have a very good point there. Most slip roads give you plenty room to get up to 60/70 but some dont and for this reason you have a good point.
