    Got caught yesterday 40 euro fine - was in the loading bay 90 seconds max .

    Told the warden I was offloading post into Post Office , which I was .

    He said the loading bay is for vans / trucks only .

    Could I win an appeal ?

    What time was it?

    What were you "offloading"?

    Was it really only 90 seconds?

    See where you went wrong?

    Should have parked in the offloading bay and you would have been grand.

    Height of ignorance cars parking in the loading bay hindering van drivers work and delaying them.

    Delighted you got done, hopefully oys the start of clamping down on it.

    You offloaded post to the post office in 90 seconds?
    You must be their fastest employee.

    You're allowed to park in a loading bay at 3 AM

    In Limerick there seems to be a new thing outside two local shops that have loading bays. Free 10 minutes parking in loading bay for customer. Seen it outside Jack Fitzgerald Electrical, and Tony Clarke's bookshop. Can't see how that works really.

    Anyway, parking in a loading bay means vans and trucks park even worse than normal! William Street in Limerick as absolutely shocking for this. It's like an obstacle course, trying to drive up there. Double parked cars, vans, trucks, and buses.

    Your point? :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,380 ✭✭✭✭Banjo String


    My understanding of a loading Bay is that they're for commercial vehicles only.

    Op, if you weren't in a commercial vehicle, you were in the wrong I'm afraid.

    (I say this as someone who uses a van for work a good bit and constantly find it hard to get parking in town centres at suppliers or customers premises)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,041 ✭✭✭zl1whqvjs75cdy


    Public flogging I'm afraid OP. Followed by rounds of ridicule from people on here who have never once broken any law ever. Think I'd prefer the flogging.

    no more than 90 seconds -

    warden said , well i arrived here and your car is here

    surely he could have waited at least 1 minute before issuing summons

    was offloading a box of envelopes into post office -

    Probably should have posted the box of letters to the post office. Wouldve worked out cheaper than the fine.

    Technically a commercial delivery I'd have thought.

    If the company pays rates they might look favourably on an appeal.Doesn't cost anyway.

    I thought that 'Parking in the loading bay' was some brand new sexual reference.
    I'm left bitterly disappointed that it's a story of a guy who's actually parked a vehicle in a loading bay and was caught.

    No giggiddy.

    That's the tipping Bay you're thinking of.

    Hilarious how van drivers go mad about someone in a car parking in a loading bay even though they're doing a delivery, yet they themselves have no issue parking where ever the fcuk they want as long as they throw on the aul hazards.

    Hi, I'm really self-absorbed and selfish and think my concerns outweigh those of others, this attitude extends to my parking.

    Yesterday I got caught parking illegally
    Now, I'd like to weasel out of paying my fine

    Any ideas?


    FYP
