Parking Wardens

[jedimaster]

they wouldn't be so bad if they actually knew the laws and abided by them. I have only ever had 2 parking tickets, both issued illegally both contested and dropped (eventually) on the grounds that the wardens had not known the law and the tickets should not have been issued in the first place. also I have personally witnessed wardens driving round in unmarked cars then parking illegally whilst issuing tickets to other road users. unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me at the time.

Its an old thread but I am going to comment any way.

I drive a largish car, Mondeo estate, and I dont have a problem with that car park, yes some spaces are not easy to get into, mainly the ones on your left as you go up or down a ramp. Its quite simple though, if the space looks hard to get into or unsafe at that time then keep going and find another.

As for people getting stressed waiting for other to reverse out of spaces that is just because they are idiots, its a car park, people have to get in and out of spaces.

I have seen car parks better and worse than this one but I would not describe it as badly designed.

totally agree I drive a large mpv and don't have a problem. It's not the car park it's people's lack of driving ability that is the problem. i too have seen worse parking facilities (you want to try to get a 40 foot long coach into some hotel car parks!)
