How about some windscreen flyers?

I have been using the ones from Pepipoo when I see someone ticketed but would prefer some that promote this forum.

The ones from Pepipoo still advocate ignoring the tickets!

Would anybody like to design a flyer directing people here who get a ticket?

    A good idea I think. I was contemplating doing something for myself but was unaware of the pepipoo one. However I would not be putting ignore on it!

    If I do some, I will post a JPEG and see what others think. However it won't be this week!

    Who would we need permission from to use the copyright logo do you think.

    I have a stack of flyers in my glovebox and give them to anyone who has been given a ticket (or may get a ticket, like some poor soul yesterday at a motorway services whose car had broken down - 2 hour stay - cameras everywhere).

    It's not difficult to adapt and print off RedX's 'walkthrough' and typing out the link to the first page of the forum (the one with the NEWBIES clearly emblazoned across the top).

    Some people ignore them though - as I seen once - she was so flustered about the PCN that she threw my flyer on the floor. Lucky for her that I was still around to help.

    I take it you weren't thinking of doing this yourself? :rotfl:
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Exactly! If you're so keen to have some flyers why not get off your backside and design them yourself? :p

    I am more than happy to give this a bash myself but was hoping for a bit of input regarding design and content etc.

    I don't claim to be an expert in graphic design but may find some time to get a rough draft sorted by the weekend.
