Hi all,
Read on here for a while but first time posting - wondering if all you lovely chaps and chapettes could give me your two pennies on a parking ticket I got on my FZ6 S2. I was parked in a bicycle rack type thing - but there were no signs saying no vehicles, no motorcycles or saying that the rack was just for bicycles. I have parked in the past in this location (outside a police station, lol) without issues. Check the photo out for where it was parked.
The ticket I got said 'parked in a restricted street during restricted hours' which is an odd one but I sent an appeal to the Staffordshire council and got back ''bicycle only bay but no signage which we appreciate, but you would have crossed double yellow lines in order to park there which is why the ticket was issued'' Is it illegal to cross double yellow lines? I thought it was only illegal to park on them. Anyway if I take this further if it fails ill have to pay the full amount rather than the reduced amount and I'm leaning toward just paying it as its one less thing to think about but an opinion from someone who knows what they are talking about would be much appreciated!!
