    You honestly think that if they see someone fall over in the store their first thought will be 'oh god I must move my car ASAP'?
    No, they probably ask if there was anything they could do to help :)
    maybe offer a lift to the hospital, not far to the car ;)
    people in wales aren't as a rule so anal, even as i stated before, the local police don't enforce "stupid yellows" that actually cause more problems than they solve, it was an out of town jobsworth that got me, i have no problem paying the fine (thats the risk you take & 99 times out of a 100 you're ok) but if i could have got the ticket scrapped on a technicality i would have, that's what these forums are for, NOT for people to sit on their high horses making moral judgments on others :naughty:

    This site isn't about getting out of paying tickets on a technicallity! It is about money saving. My moneysaving advice would be to not park on double yellows incase you get fined.

    I still stand by what I said, The yellow lines are there for a reason. Maybe at the moment you can't see why they are, but maybe one day you will realise there is a reason they're there. Your idea of 'stupid yellows' might not be someone elses idea of stupid yellows when youa re blocking access to an emergency vehicle.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    You should have put your hazard lights on, everyone knows that if you whack them on you can park anywhere
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
