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.
"pcn was issued because the vehicle was parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours"
yes supposedly a single yellow line. There is a tiny sign on a wall about 30m away, and beyond that distance the line does look vaguely yellowish, but certaintly not anywhere near where I was parked!
If you Google BS381C it will give you a page of sample colours so you can compare what it should be to whats on the floor.
I don't think Phil is going to need the page of sample colours to decide that the line in question (as per his photo) is not painted in the approved yellow!
Yet again I get slated by our arm chair hereo.
The man asked what colour yellow.
So you give him the colour from the book an still you arnt happy.
Moaning for the sake of it.
By the way had a look at the signs and lines in Whitby and could not fault them.
Its good to be good.

Penalty Charge Notice: WYxxxxx13
Vehicle Registration Number: xxxxxx
Date of Contravention: 02/07/2008
Location of Contravention: xxxxxxxxxx
Thank you for your further email dated 8 July in connection with the above Penalty Charge Notice which issued because the vehicle was parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours i.e it was parked on a single yellow line during its hours of operation 6:30am – 6:30pm.
In your email you have explained that in your opinion the colour of the line is white and not yellow as demonstrated by the photographs and the fact that a previously painted yellow line can be seen in some portions of the area.
With regard to the colour of yellow lines within the Borough, Dorset County Council, having deemed that the entire County is an 'environmentally sensitive area', have stated that the colour to be used for all yellow lines and other markings such as taxi ranks and bus stops must now be colour code No 310 – primrose. This is permitted and is in accordance with Paragraph 23..18 (statutory colours) of the Department for Transports' 'Traffic Signs Manual, Chapter 5, Road Markings'.
For this reason the bright yellow previously used is no longer permitted by the County highways department.
I have taken the opportunity to visit xxxxxxxxxx to have a look at the line in question. It is because primrose is a light shade of yellow that this line may at first appear to be white, especially when viewed in isolation and under certain light conditions.
Whilst I believe the line to have been painted in the correct primrose colour originally it may have faded a little so I take your point that it now appears white although if you hold a white card against it, it takes on more of the primrose colour (see attached photograph). I don't think the presence of the old yellow line helps in this instance.
In the circumstances therefore I am able to confirm that I have accepted your challenge and agree to cancel the Penalty Charge Notice on this occasion.
Arrangements have been made for the line to be repainted as soon as possible but in the meantime pleased be advised that the parking restriction remains in force and that vehicles should not park there between 6.30am – 6.30pm.
what is the exact TSRGD reference they use ? the word "colours" only appears twice in the entire document (i.e. the S.I) and neither case is relevant to their claim.
Is chapter 5 even published ?
how yellow is yellow
outside my house, the "single yellow" line is actually white as far as I can tell.
