Free Traffic Legal Advice

1) When a poster puts on a criminal case he/she is reffered to here but only very rarely can I see the case actually coming across??

My personal views...

If they can't be bothered to read the group title before asking the "wrong" group to "kindly do the needful", the chances of them reading and understanding any advice given are likely to be less than stellar.

Same goes for any drivers whose parents seek advice on their behalf - if the driver's attitude is "what-ever", there seems little point giving up our free time to advise them.

2)There are far more parking and yellow box contraventions in the CONFINES of the M25 than in other parts of the country ...even proportianately.   


I can only assume London is a nightmare to drive in and is becoming even worse??

Be careful how you word that. Anyone who criticises SadIQ Khan is automatically racist.

The London Boroughs have been allowed to enforce yellow box and other moving traffic offences for quite a while. Most other councils only got that power relatively recently, and are only just starting to roll it out. So much of London has parking restrictions of one sort or another (OK, many other towns and cities do, too, but not an entire district/borough), and it would seem their CEOs are numerous and more, how to put it, dedicated to their job. Where I live (semi-rural, few restrictions), you never see enforcement of what double-yellows there, are and even in the towns, you're unlikely to see much enforcement on Sundays.

I have regularly criticised Sadiq Khan both on Social Media and in print through the local paper

are you ssyingnyou font psy a premium for living in London?

No, I'm not "ssying" I "font psy a premium": I was responding to the specific issues you mentioned.

I undoubtedly pay more for housing and general living expenses than I would elsewhere, but I think it's worth it for easy access (by excellent free public transport) to world-class theatres, galleries, museums, etc. And, more locally, the River Thames, commons and Royal Parks.

Each to their own.

Apologies for the cr@p typing (must wear my glasses)
however Ziggy (not me) didn't say you were "paying FOR extras" he said "paying so much extra" which in my opinion anyone living in London is, on a daily basis.
you appear to be lucky enough to avail of "free" public transport, unfortunately not everyone can, and maybe an emission friendly car?? luckier than most in London I suggest.

Public transport in London is generally cheaper than elsewhere, even for those less "lucky" than me.

And the vast majority (90%?) of cars here are ULEZ-exempt.

Quite right mickR


I live up North.....


I'm guessing my one bedroom house would be worth a Million if it were in Kensington.So Rodney.....This year....."I am a millionare."It would be a fraction of thatb in Halifax.

I live in Halifax ......we have Piece hall as a venue near us ......recently we have had the real Tom Jones and the real Blondie there.

I prefer the North(although) I'm a Southerner by birth.Your money goes a lot further.A pint of John Smiths is £3.20(free entertainment) at my local WMC.The traffic flows mostly freely and the Countryside of Calderdale is outstanding.

I have recently claimed my new full State Pension and it will be the same as they get down South??

And the reason for my post...the Facebook page shows an unhealthy amount of the PCN and ULEZ charges.Maybe the Councils are less inclined to let anything go.You were right mickR....this is what I was trying to illustrate.
