I've always had an 'unofficial' rule that, if half of my car was in the space, then that would be OK - obviously not  .
I felt a little sorry for this lady, her car was virtually in the space (not like my 50% rule ), her rear wheels were just out and obviously the boot overhang (Mondeo) but she still got a ticket.
When I came out of the shop I'd nipped into, parked behind where this lady had been, was a Range Rover, 100% on the double-yellows and also mounted on the curb - I bet they get away with it.
Anyway, anyone with a misguided rule like mine, beware  . |
regarding the question is half in sufficient? my wife siad NO!
