Fined! But I have the last laugh

So your Parking fine saves you having to pay the Parking fee. I would not say you're having the last laugh, but I'm happy for you.

I don't get it? Do you think that, having ticketed you once, they won't ticket the same car in the same place again? Not true, I'm afraid. I've seen cars with up to four tickets on them.

I got a ticket today, parked outside my own house.

It's being scrapped, though.

It took me about 10mins to drop her off and return to the same parking space. Within which time the guy going around checking for pay and displays would probably not have noticed my absence. So rather than paying for pay and display I use the docket instead cuz it'll look like I had not yet returned to the car. A small concellation, but a concellation nonetheless

You're missing the point. If the warden tickets a car, continues his round, and arrives back at the same car he will ticket it again. And again. The fact that the car has already been ticketed makes absolutely no difference, they simply don't care.

What a wonderful point, and from such an aptly-named poster too. Let's just stick with the topic this time, your wits appear to be stretched enough as it is.:)

The smile will be on the other side of your face when you come out of your friends house and see your car on the back of a recovery truck turning the corner at the end of the road!!! AFAIK this is what they do if you don't pay the fine imminently...

If its not moved after they ticket it, they will tow it.
