Couple shocked to find traffic wardens had slapped a ticket on their car despite it being parked on their own DRIVEWAY
Niall McCarthy has been using tiny driveway since 2002 without issues
Mr McCarthy put piece of wood in front of house to avoid car hitting wall
He plans to appeal ticket issued in of Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire
Charge is £35 if paid within 14 days but increases to £70 after that point

I would say that :-
1) It's a front garden not a driveway. It's too small.
If it had a raised kerb and they applied to the council for a dropped kerb (required to make it an official driveway) they would be refused on the grounds it's too small for a car to fit.
2) The back of the car is over and blocking the footpath.
3) The yellow lines indicate parking restrictions between the building lines or property boundaries, not just between the two sets of lines.
Looks like they gave got away with it for 12 years and now someone has decided to enforce the rules they are complaining.
Didn't they consider the parking when they bought the property? And the two of them have three cars between them?

Seen in Liverpool. Poor lane discipline, kept on moving into the other lane without checking mirrors before swinging back, dangerous undertaking, no use of indicators. Large vehicle too so could inflict a lot of damage if hit someone. Go and re-do your license mate

Black Ford Focus ST-2 drove into the back of our car. I pulled into the petrol station next to us, expecting the car to do the same & instead they just drove off and didn't stop.

This idiot pulled out in front of me (across a "Give Way" line ... plainly visible were his white in ear headphones and he plainly was not paying attention. I hit my horn to make him aware of my presence ... he slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road ... opened his window and mouthed some abuse at me. He then got our of his cab ... pulled open my drivers door and asked me what my problem was .... couldn't I see him? When I pointed out that he'd crossed the give way markings without looking ... he told me to f off and slammed my door shut before climbing back into vis van and racing off down the narrow street. I wish him all the best and hope that he gets his money back from his private education fees ...

IT'S NOT FOGGY!!!!, there are no visibility problems, everybody can see you with your "normal" lights on. They are not sports lights, they are not driving lights, they are not extra lights, they are not side lights - They are bloody "blinding" fog lights. I am sick of getting constantly blinded by them day and night when it's not foggy. Don't use them unless required - see Rules 226 and 236 - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/driving-in-adverse-weather-conditions-226-to-237

Stupid driver didn't even look before entering roundabout. This occurred on the B2177 and Crooked Walk Lane roundabout near Portsdown Hill on 3-April-2016 around around 11:15.
