How is legally allowed to park on a pavement a loophole?

« on: 08 August 2016, 07:29:32 am »
Have read most of the replies to the thread.
I reckon if I were you just pay it.
1 The police may take action because you rode a motor bike on the pavement which as far as I am aware is in itself illegal.
2 What would your attitude be if that was a reserved motor cycle parking bay and a car had been parked in it, bet you would be pissed off.
Just my 2 pence worth.
1- how? Where's the evidence? It's right next to a drop kerb and could very easily be pushed into that position!
On a different note I don't understand the people saying don't fight the council, you won't win- they're not infallible, that's exactly why there is an adjudicator.
Also, putting it bluntly, it's only in london that you legally can't Park on the pavement, it's one of those 'must not' and 'should not' arguments against the highway code, local councils have their own PCN code for parking on the pavement but it isn't enforceable, possibly the warden knows this which is why they used the double yellow code, but being the paperwork dick I am I'd contradict my knowledge against my argument as I enjoy doing that-
feel free to actually research pavement parking! (they are in the process of trying to change it to nationwide but haven't done so yet!)
So the parking on the pavement only applies to London. Best you let them know that in Leeds then. 
If more people took it as far as the adjudicator instead of paying a pavent contravention ticket then everyone would know- Google is your friend sir!

So the point is that "lure you in" special prices & introductory offers are only made to NEW customers & they then rely on peoples inertia to auto-renew-they are quick to send out their renewal notices to customers like me paying in one lump sum annually to avoid cost of credit instalment interest rates.
So GOOD RISK customers are not profitable and are to be fleeced accordingly-the worlds gone barking mad! Personally I can live without seeing their "dolly birds"at the bike shows( not enough meat on them!) and dont have to endure their advertising in the motorcycle press since I stopped buying bike mags-rather spend £4-20 on fuel for the Fazer!
I am pleased (so far) with Bennetts-but will see what happens at renewal time 
Car insurance with Carole Nash runs out in 6 weeks so will be studying meerkats & Welsh opera singers before hand!
That's the same practice with credit cards- if you pay the full bill off every month they generally get rid of you after 12 months or so as they're not making any money from you!

Paul, you wont like this but my Mrs used to be employed by the police as a proper traffic warden many years ago and you are actually parked illegally. You need to check the code on the ticket though as they may have got it wrong meaning an appeal may work.
Parking within so many feet of the yellow lines is illegal (cant remember the distance) as is parking on the pavement so they could have you on two different things.
Personally, I would shove the ticket up the wardens @rse and tell them to fec off as it is a bike in a bike space but that would be wrong 
Yes and no, if he was parked on a grass verge or access road that didn't have its own yellow lines then the lines from the main road extend to the highway border, generally a fence or hedge, in this case as its on a footway he does have an argument it's the incorrect convention code as there is a specific one for parking on the pavement!

Depends how far you are willing to take this- will you back down and take 50% off if they refuse to acknowledge your contesting of the ticket? If so then pay the 50% now, if not then the argument would be the ticket is invalid as the contravention did not occur due to the vehicle being parked on the pavement, not on the street, as the pavement is a footway the correct contravention code for being parked on a pavement is 62 according to Staffordshire website https://www.patrol-uk.info/contravention-codes-list/They will most likely decline to accept this as all councils generally do in the hope you pay, the wording will be along the lines of 'although we believe you are in the wrong we will be very kind and allow you a further 14 days to pay at the reduced rate' The reply to this is I'll speak to you at the parking tribunal!

Little argument against #4 above- MCE have always quoted me lower than anyone else on first offer.
Plus with them there is no automatic renewal or even a renewal price- they just email saying it's due.
One thing I don't understand though, phone them up for renewal, they have all details in front to them (garaged, accidents, point on license etc) yet you have to go through every single thing again to get a price, why, nothings changed, if it had it wouldn't be a renewal, it would be a new policy!

There is also a difference between the traditional Perry and pear cider
Also not forgetting Perry was one of few alcoholic beverages under 18's were allowed to consume in a licensed premises with a meal!

I got a Joe rocket mesh one from motorcycle megastore couple of years ago- £30! Whatever you choose I find dousing those thin neck tubes in cold water also works a treat for 5/10 minutes until it dries out, or just do this- https://youtu.be/juQ44rqOoZY

BP do the little AA ones for a tenner every now and then, otherwise most under seat size ones are 20 to 30 quid

After deciding to drop my go pro whilst charging smashing the lense I just got the stealth 2 for £70 (£100 in shop but I had £30 worth of vouchers)
I do like how Diddy it is!

No need to go larger, just better tyres, hero blobs, and footpegs with blobs removed touch down with the standard size!

Not the same but similar - I needed to replace the clutch adjuster screw, oem was about £10, eBay fancy one was £16, pro bolt £7
It's easy to assume pro bolt are expensive when they're not always!

Oem is always gonna be more expensive than 3rd party Slim. Even 2nd hand.
The wemoto part is oem, and half the price of the eBay item, that's his point!
