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

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!Have read most of the replies to the thread.1- how? Where's the evidence? It's right next to a drop kerb and could very easily be pushed into that position!
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.
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.

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.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!
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!
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.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!
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
whats time travel got to do with it?That'll be the 'Pedestrians crossing 250 YEARS further up the road' quote!
U do look a bit Stiggy-ish there bud ....but nice lean.....wish i could do that :-)His 'eds in the wrong place to look like me!
