Parking Fine

alansmith7

Hi All

I arrived home at 10pm last night and i couldnt find parking on my road and i did look for spaces to park my car but there wasnt any spaces, in the morning i was given a parking fine for parking on double yellows, i feel its fair as i pay for my car to be on the road and pay council tax yet again i cannot park on my road without getting a fine :shocked:. I couldnt stay up all night to find parking on my road!

I want to appeal this fine is there any templates on this site so i can use to appeal my fine.

You will be better off reposting on the motoring forum:

as people on there will probably be able to give better advice.

Or don't bother.

You parked on double yellows. They mean 'no parking'
An excuse of "I couldn't find anywhere else" doesn't work I'm afraid. You parked illegally.

As long as they are accompanied by other signage or kerb blips. Otherwise they mean No parking unless you have a Blue Badge.

I think you misunderstand. OP is quite clear that they mean "No parking unless you want to or it is a bit difficult to find somewhere else"

Pay the fine and move house to one with a driveway.

The only person I know who was successful appealing a similar ticket had the back of his car overhanging a double yellow that was faded and covered in leaves. The council let him off then repainted the lines!

Double yellow lines are not one you can get off with.
