    Well known and publicised scam. stop for 2 seconds and a girl jumps out of a parked vehicle to pic you with a small digi camera.

    Ignore them, it's trash.

    Long, long long thread on PePiPoo.

    If it is going to happen in the future - my advice is don't park there on that day!

    It happens every day and for about the last 2+ years!

    It is a small lay-by right outside the Station that was onbviously originally constructed as a drop-off/collection point but the ppc have managed to persuade someone to let them scam it!

    in many cases cos the slip road there is narrow - people back into the lay-by to let vehicles pass and in the time it takes - are scammed.

    It is one of those classics - no point to it whatsoever other than to scam money out of people. it is protecting nothing.

    And a large number of those vehicles are showing brake lights or even reversing lights.

    Nothing whatsoever to do with parking where you shouldn't, zfrl.

    It was the fact it is going to happen to the OP in the future I was commenting on!
