    On a different note, I once got a fine for Marks & Spencer - didnt 'pay and display' in their private car park. 10 years on and I've had no follow up from them..... big question is, all they had was my registration plate number..... legally, I doubt they have any rights to get my address from that via the police or DVLA.....

    Times have changed Weggy and DVLA will now release details of your car to "interested parties " who fit "certain criteria", and guess what, that means the people who run car parks.

    I'll try and find an up to date link that will give you some more details (but your 10 year old transgression is safe, I would imagine).

    Here's a couple on paragraphs from this link

    It was revealed that the agency supplies the names and home addresses of those with driving licences to 157 firms presently on its list - some of which are run by convicted criminals.

    Each firm on the list has an electronic link to the DVLA's database, at a cost of £3,000. Individual requests for information can also be made by other groups for £2.50 a time.

    parked in "parents & toddlers"bay.Stupid! I know....but was getting late to pick up kids from School....only i bay was being used 11 were vacant....was there literally 10mins....any help welomed..thanks.:mad:


    Oooh which asda was this? Where I work doesn't do that yet.

    Yipppeeee, I think it's a cause for celebration that you got this fine! Perhaps next time you won't be such a ignorant, pig headed chauvanist and you might actually park in the correct space.

    Who the hell do you think you are? The Queen? God? Park where you are supposed to park and you won't get a fine. Duh! Ten minutes, one minute, one second, I don't care. God knows there were probably plenty of other places for you to park. You lazy, idle, person. Hopefully this will be a lesson well learnt for you.

    colourful language ????? I honestly thought that i'd managed to do that whole thread without using any bad language - in fact, I really racked my imagination at times to keep the language clean.

    Just be grateful that I'm not running the country :rotfl: :rotfl:

    As for tolerance - funnily enough, I'm the most easy going, road rage free driver that you'll ever come across - but the chance to have a "blow off of steam" was to good to miss. & the thing that triggered the other thread off was some doofus who had parked in a Parent & Toddler space and who took offense when I politely (& please believe me, I was very polite as I had my son with me) pointed out to him that he wasn't entitled to park there.

    just a quick tip:
    do not attempt to use two spaces for your car in a paying car park.you will receive a ticket like i did a few years ago!

    i thought i would try and be smart,by using two spaces to stop the carpark dinging brigade whilst shopping,but ended up with a fine rather than a dented door! lol

    park between the most expensive cars in the carpark,they will be more worried about dings than you!
