PPR = Posting Privileges Removed
They could still be reading this thread for all we know.
Perhaps... but I doubt it.
For all we know, she may of had a legitimate reason for appeal as well. But as she is PPRd, we will never know for sure will we?PLEASE NOTEMy advice should be used as guidance only. You should always obtain face to face professional advice before taking any action.0 -

I haven't given any "advice" though! I merely made the OP aware of an avenue of appeal which is what she asked.PLEASE NOTEMy advice should be used as guidance only. You should always obtain face to face professional advice before taking any action.0 -
Also what makes you think this person is a she? Just because they were doing a school run and parking badly?

Jamie, Tilt has made it clear that they are not interested in the law, only in suggesting ways to get round it (such as suggesting you could appeal based on exemptions, signage, road layout, etc), and when anyone question's Tilt's series of "what ifs", they will get shot down in flames, but if you dare use what the OP actually said, then you're the bad guy!
Parking on a single yellow line can be dangerous for other road users and pedestrians. It can cause traffic disruption and accidents. Being cold is not an excuse for breaking the law, no matter what the road layout is or what the signs say.
Otherwise, I could use the "Tilt defense" as a reason to speed, drive through red lights, in fact any law which is there for the safety of me and other road users.
"Sorry office, I was doing 40 in the 30 zone because I was cold and I wanted the car engine to heat up"1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?0 -

Do you know, that's a bloody good question!
I tell you what, i'll ask the OP to come back and clarify that and also give more info about the location, how far he/she parked away from the school itself/whether there was anyone else in the car and anything else we can find to make it CLEAR on what circumstances he/she parked.

But yet another six pages of internet courtroom and in fighting have been added none the less.

What advice exactly have I given which was bad? I said that the OP could appeal using boarding and alighting exemptions which do exist.
So I answered her question with accurate information based on the information she gave. I don't see how I got "her hopes up". The success of her appeal would depend on the information and evidence that she herself provided when making the appeal. So she would create her own "hopes"!

My 4 year old goes to a school where they have to wear shorts all year round and he's still managing to survive and hasn't complained once that he's cold!
