Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I got a parking ticket on my motor bike. I did not see it was there until after I had moved away because it was stuck onto the rear of the luggage box just above the number plate at the rear of the bike.
I know a ticket has to be "affixed" to the vehicle but surely it ought to be where the driver/rider can clearly see it before driving/riding away.
There is no specified place to put it and as M/C dont have a windshield and all vary in design it would be hard to legislate. I guess the PA probably thought the top box was a safe secure place to put it.
Surely it should have been somewhere where the Rider will certainly see it before riding off - like the seat or tank or handgrips.
Are the regulations silent on this? I cannot believe so.
Otherwise the Law is instituting a game of Hide and Seek whenever a driver or rider returnes to his car or bike - thus prolonging the time it remains in the wrong place.
Mosts seats have a stipple finish making sticking things to it hard (I used to own a m/c) and wrapping it around the bars would not make it obvious it was a pcn as the wording would not be visible. The tank is the most obvious choice but scooters do not have tanks and a lot of bikers dont like sticky things on the paintwork. I guess where ever you put it is not perfect.
Ticket affixed by rear number plate.
