Parking ticket - some friendly advice required

[unfazed]

I think your friendly council has there rules mixed up for double yellow lines and double Solid White Lines  :lol

General (rule 238) of the highway codeRule 238You MUST NOT wait or park on yellow lines during the times of operation shown on nearby time plates (or zone entry signs if in a Controlled Parking Zone) – see ‘Traffic signs’ and ‘Road markings’. Double yellow lines indicate a prohibition of waiting at any time even if there are no upright signs. You MUST NOT wait or park, or stop to set down and pick up passengers, on school entrance markings (see ‘Road markings’) when upright signs indicate a prohibition of stopping.
