One wheel on a yellow line, whole car in a bay

tuggy

Hello

I'm in Scotland. My street has permit parking and I have a permit for the area. The street has a big line of parking space (not individual bays) then a single yellow line for the rest of the street.

I came home and everywhere was full except the last bit of the parking bay. I parked up, right close to the guy in front and my back wheel ONLY (none of the body in front of the wheel) was on the single yellow

I walk past the car all th time and it was fine, on about day 3 of it being there it got a ticket. Is this appealable? I genuinely didnt thing it was wrong, but am willing to stand corrected. I'm not causing any trouble, the back wheel doesnt block anything and I'm 95% in the parking area. Can I appeal?

Cheers

You are technically in breach if *any part* of the car is over the yellow line, the wheels are not relevant in this case.

I concur with Mark and with one wheel on the contravention is certain. Can't even imagine a De minimis claim.

Thread title is an obvious contradiction. Surely it should be 'Whole car was in the bay except it wasn't'.

Sorry, "rest of car" was in bay. Thank you for the correction, I hope it didnt make the thread un-readable.

Although im in England I appealed for my "contravention" for having a wheel on a dub yello and my appeal was successful http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s13/muckychimney/?action=view&current=NPASappeal1edit.jpg

Take a look at the bay markings are they correct ? also are the yellow line terminations correct ? what type of bay is it ? photos a distinct advantage dont just give up look at all avenues of appeal first
