• Mazda 6 - Parking sensor question (Mazda 6) 27 Jun 2011 (Forum)
    It sounds like a loose connection but what is strange is that I can park up my car at night, and the sensors dont work.  Then when I go to my car in the morning they work fine...so the car has not moved all night. The reversing lights work fine wven when the parking sensors are not working, so there is no link there.

• Drop Off On A Bus Stop, camera N.I.P 31 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  Advice required please: My mother in law recently dropped myself & 2 8 yo kids outside Hounslow East train station, on a bus stop: You know the score, following the bus, bus pulls away,  belts off in anticipation, we drive in, hop out , driver pulls away 10 seconds max, no one inconvenienced, everyone happy.............Except........... she has just received a parking fine with photo for parking on a bus stop. She has paid the fine as she has just appealed against another ticket (and won) because the ticketing officer didn't see the ticket stuck to her windscreen.
• Snowmobile in Warwick! 7 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  I read that a Swedish farmer has received a parking fine from Warwick. Unfortunately, the vehicle alleged to have been parked illegally is his snowmobile, which has been parked in his barn since last winter...

• meter maids... 25 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Was wandering around town yesterday, and saw a UK plated R-reg Range Rover parked at a meter, which had been ticketed. For the R60 fine (4 quid to you!) is it going to be worth the hassle for the Traffic Department to trace said driver if he doesn't pay? On the next corner, parked across a pedestrian crossing, was an old Durban-registered Golf, with a ticket stuck to the window.
