  • Fines gone MAD 14 Nov 2003 (Forum)
    The penalty for improper use is £1000 - yes, I have put the right number of noughts, one thousand pounds for parking your car in a taxi bay. I guess this represents over a month's take-home pay for many people. Sounds scandalous to me. What other outrageous fines have people come across?

  • Parking Ticket Help Please! 12 May 2006 (Forum)
    I informed the receptionist at the local authority gym and placed a notice on my dashboard stating the time of parking and that the machine was not working. Surprise, surprise I have an "Excess Charge Notice (Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984)" and a £50 fine. The 'notice' even states that I left a note and the parking attendants asked the receptionist who confirmed what I reported; the attendant states on the notice that the machine was checked and was working ok (about 2 minutes after I parked).

    Hi all, had an issue with my rover 414i 1999 model. I drove for about an hour no issues, I parked up for 10 mins, drove for another hour no issues, parked up for half hour and then drove 2 mins around the corner, went back to the car 20 mins later and nothing, just a click....tried bumping car and nothing, tried jump leads, nothing, all lights were on and fine, moved car to safe area and decided to see if I could find a solution, went back to car after a few hours and after a click, a second of struggling it started and drove me home fine, checked it this morning and slight struggle(maybe due to cold weather) it started and has had no problems since....only thing I noticed was water tank seemed to have gone low but can see no leaks anywhere, all temps were fine but could something have over heated causing the issue?
