Parking - taxi driver taking photos

i_want_one_of_those_mum

I was waiting at a loading bay for hubby to load the shopping because it was snowing.

When he pulled up, a taxi driver got out and started taking photos of our car and a parking sign. I could that the parking sign had changed from drop off point & loading, to taxis only and authorised parking only after we had loading the car. (But I don't know when that changed as I normally drive to town)

We weren't parked in the taxi bay because it was full, (not just taxis) but in the road with the hazards on.

What do think will happen next?

Thanks

Nothing, absolutely nothing, lest the taxi driver was also a traffic warden. A photograph taken by a taxi driver means nowt.

I hate it when "stuff you've known for years" changes like that....

I would have taken photos of his vehicle breaking the same no parking area , he may be a taxi driver but it doesn't make him exempt from bad parking, including the ones with the hazards on. Got no time for jumped up idiots thinking they are some kind of authority. I got a lot of time for taxi drivers, but not idiots.

Many thanks for all your replies. Got a bit worried there and gxx for hours trying to find out what might happen.

Should have known to come here first!

Thanks

You'll be fine. Taxi drivers don't have special powers. Well, apart from being able to telepathically tell everybody else where they're going without using indicators.

He might have got a ticket there last week and be taking photos to contest it?

Should have asked him what he was up to.

I find that not only taxi drivers do that but a lot of other people as well, so no point highlighting one group of people as its across the board. I just class them as selfish and often dangerous drivers who should know better.
