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 was wondering if any one had the answer to this one?
Yesterday i recieved a ticket for being parked on double yellow lines, except they had been sprayed on with a hand held spray can they are very sketchy and wobbly to say the least. (if any1 can tell me how to put pics on that would be great)
I wouldnt have normally parked there but the day before i asked the traffic warden if a restriction applied when lines had been painted very obviously by hand with a spray can.
He told me that lines had to apply to specific regulations with regards to width and colour and that the type of paint used was a particular type too, he called it "plastic paint".
I dont know how true this is as i cant seem to find anything on the tinter net about yellow lines only white lines, i would imagine things are pretty similar but you never can be too sure.
I have taken pics and a video but light isnt great as it was 1 AM when i returned to my car but you can see the distinct differences between actuall yellow lines and the FAKES.
Will the ticket be able to be held up if i appeal and if i do so should i send pics as evidence.
I really wanted to get the standards or regulations related to double yellow lines too so i could put them all in a letter and tell them to retrain their traffic warden etc.
that should give you the details regarding the road markings.
Also I would check the TRO at the local council - it may be that these are temp lines which were put in place during a specific period (during roadworks etc) and which may have expired, they may also be just a disgruntled resident/business man who thinks people are parking where they shouldnt and got a can of paint during the night.

Hi, thanks for the advice but i dont know what tinypic is sorry to be such a dunce.
Funnily enough i just walked to Boots in the station to get the photos printed from mobile and on the way i saw a traffic warden.
I crossed the road and simply asked her opinion, i showed her the pics and she said the only terminology i should be using in my letter is "incorrect street furniture" regarding the painted on lines.
Does any one know if she has given me good advice?
She also said i should request the photo of my car which should have been taken at the time of the ticket issue.
i looked on the link it was 1 of the things i had been reading through earlier it seems to have a section on lines but they are white lines ie, give way, no over taking, zig zags etc...

i do not know how to merge threads or that it even existed until now, plus the other thread went dead and i thought i was more likely to get a response from a new thread with the pics that i couldnt manage to attach before.
ha ha ha ha, how can they class them as propper lines?, its obvious they they are the product of either:-
A) a marked out section for a repair that has not yet been completed.
B) someone with a can of spray paint and too much time on their hands.
C) a traffic warden whos looking to meet his monthly target.
id deffo dispute this one.

Any advice I give is given based on personal experience and/or useful bits and bobs i've picked up over the years. Always seek professional advice if there's any doubt. Need a complaint letter writing, but don't know how to word it?
Then ask me!, I love writing complaint letters, because I can be just as pompous and arrogant as they can, only better!.
Hello again it has been some time but i have had my response from the local council, this is it: RE: Penalty Charge Notice:
With regard to your previous correspondence in relation to the above Penalty Charge Notice, your comments are noted. Earlier observations that your Penalty Charge Notice was issued correctly, remains valid and stands.
There are only a limited number of grounds on which a Penalty Charge Notice may be cancelled and unfortunately your explanation does not satisfy them.
On this basis the ticket must stand and the penalty charge paid. If paid within ten days of the date of this letter then the charge will be at the discount rate of £50.00. Beyond this point the full penalty of £100.00 will become due.
However, if you do not wish to accept this option a Notice to Owner will be issued to the Registered Keeper at the full penalty of £100.00. Under current legislation you will be entitled to further representation to the Council’s Appeal Services. Should your representation not be accepted you will then have the option to make a further appeal to the Parking and Traffic Appeals Services. This is an independent adjudicator whose decision is final.
Yours sincerely
Parking Management
Should i pay or take it further after all they have been painted on by hand and i was genuinely told by the traffic warden that it would be ok to park their? Also their is no parking restriction sign on the lamp post, does that make a difference?
I am worried as i can not really afford £50 let alone £100?

Do these look like statutory road markings?
