The new laws of parking will be going to create numerous confusions among the general mass. This new
law states that the traffic warden will be able to make a fine to those numbers who was driven away
from parking space as well as those who are still in the junction. But this newly implicated law has
given the birth of many questions regarding the fact of its fruitfulness. There is a high
possibility that the warden might note down a wrong number. As a result an innocent driver would
compensate. Apart from this the new law is quite backdated as anyone can make the challenge that
without having evidence like the photographic or the other visual proofs how come the warden
complain whether the driver has done any offence or not? Who park on yellow lines is charged lower
fines compare to those who left the parking space. |

I think they will cause a lot of confusion and bad feeling.
One of the hotly debated issues of the new laws is that a traffic warden will be able to issue a
fines as a motorist is driving away or has driven away. This surely leaves a loophole?
There's a high possibility that wardens might get a number wrong and fines will be missed or issued
to an innocent driver. The onous would be on the driver to prove that they weren't in the car/ place
at the time the fine was issued.
Another problem is that , if a postal fine wasn't delivered the driver would have no right of
appeal and would have to pay a much higher parking fine.
Fines for some offences such as overstaying on a meter and double yellow lines will be slightly
lower it seems.
One of the arguments for fines issued after the offence is that it's dangerous for wardens to tackle
drivers of moving cars. Is this reason enough to issue fines once a driver has driven away? |

What new laws? Parking offences are still going to be parking offences aren't they? |

I think that the laws due to come into force very soon will spell chaos.
They say that it'll be safer and easier for traffic wardens and the police to deal with parking
offences but will it really?
It seems very wrong that a traffic warden can initiate a fine once a motorist has left a parking
space. Without photographic or other visual evidence , how can anyone prove that the driver of that
car committed an offence? This is open to abuse by heavy handed wardens and it would be very
difficult to prove they were acting unjustly.
Yes it is dangerous for wardens to try and stop a moving vehicle but once the car has been removed
from where it was parked, then that should be the end of the matter.
They say that people who overstay their leave in paid bays and those who park on yellow lines will
get lower fines, this is being countered by heavy fines for the others who've already left the
parking place and that doesn't seem a balanced argument.
Feelings will run high on this one and it might cause more problems than it solves. |
