Traffic warden

[vmail]

I was parked at the end of a 30 min zone, as my mum did some shopping, Mr 249 Traffic warden took my details then walked off, as the cars in front of me left, I rolled my car forwards. 20 mins later Mr 249 walks pass, notices that my car is in a different position(where the black car is) and he continues to walk, the car in front of me moves, so I rolled the car 1 meter, Mr 249 comes over and tells me that I have to move my car because the valves positions are not the same, I kept on arguing and offered to reverse my car back to where it was, but he said that I wouldnt be able to get the valves in the same place, now if I had left the dotted line area then fair enough I'll move the car away, but I did not leave that area so I dont see his problem,

please leave your comments and I'll take them to town hall

he even refused to give me is name, number, or the address of where he was working

what exactly does this sign mean? do I have to be is that very same spot for 30mins?

To be honest mate I don't get this, I have never understood what it mean "no return within one hour" . <_<

Anyway what I understand from your pictures, is that to the right of the sign u can park for max 30 mins. And to right no stopping at all.

i dont see what u have done wrong, its worth challanging them, to see what they have to say about the situ .

Sorry couldnt be more help

[vmail]

This is what I think the sign mean, you are only allowed there for 30min, after that you have to leave, the next time you cant visit is after 1 hour, I did not leave the dotted line area, I just moved the car forward

no return means you can park there for 30 mins but after that 30 mins you cant return to that parking area for another hour

[vmail]

but after 20 mins I move the car forward, still within the dotted area, to me that is still ok, it makes it easyer for other people to park behind me and my mum has to walk less

no return means you can park there for 30 mins but after that 30 mins you cant return to that parking area for another hour

thats my understanding too.

what exactly is the problem here vmail?

[vmail]

the problem is that I didnt like his attidue, he wasnt prepared to listen to me, I was in the right, unless some one can prove me wrong, I did not leave the dotted area, I still had ten mins left, he even threated to give me a ticket, at that point I was going to get out of the car but I saw the CCTV

[Debz]

He was just been a goon then, didn't get any the night b4 :P

at the end of the day mate, youre not gonna change his attitude- hes a traffic warden :censor:

to the letter of the law he was right (as in- you could have moved off and come back- his only way of telling was where your valve caps were)

and... you didnt even get the fine!

personally wouldnt waste your time over it

[vmail]

he watched me roll the car forward, he saw that I didnt leave the dotted area, its all on CCTV

[jaxx]

valves?

[Bibbs]

yeah .. they remember where your tyre valves are to see if you move .. they used to chalk your tyres ..

[jaxx]

ahh makes sense :P

Think you just met a stereotypical traffic warden. The lot of them are wannabe coppers.

The crazy thing is they are going to give these little-hitlers even more power:

the right to give out:

fine and 2 points for an illegal 3 point turn

fine and points for illegal parking

and...fine and points for not indicating correctly when parking or turning.

If you upset this guy imagine what he could do back!!!

But I do agree with you it was a joke what he was saying
