Have a guess. The lack of people using this jape might give you a clue...

Some councils have clauses in their traffic orders saying only one ticket can be displayed.
Most have a clause requiring clear display. Runs foul of both of those. |

Some councils have clauses in their traffic orders saying only one ticket can be displayed. I would say many councils do so. Also unless you're unemployed, I doubt the time money potentially saved would warrant the time wasted. If you're so skint that you can't afford a few quid for parking, take the bus. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Kin hell CP it cost more to take the bus than to drive and that includes the parking if its driver and one passenger. And parking is cheap where I live -------------------- All advice is given freely. It is given without guarantee and responsibility for its use rests with the user

And parking is cheap where I live Well if you work out the cost per mile including tax, servicing, MOT & insurance public transport may not be the most expensive option. And if parking is cheap, you wouldn't resort to this sort of "tactic", if we can call it that. Of course, in any case the Queen graciously provides pavements and veges open to pedestrians on most roads This post has been edited by cp8759: Fri, 20 Sep 2019 - 22:39 -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

And parking is cheap where I live Well if you work out the cost per mile including tax, servicing, MOT & insurance public transport may not be the most expensive option. Tax, servicing, MOT & insurance are all fixed costs whether the car is used or not. Unless you are proposing totally giving up the car & only using public transport then it's only consumables like fuel & oil plus wear & tear plus depreciation that need to be considered. My partner doesn't drive so her return bus journey to work costs £7 for about 10 miles each way i.e. 35p/mile. For my similar car journey in a car that uses super unleaded & does 40mpg it costs about 70p plus my car parking costs 99p i.e. just under 8.5p/mile. -------------------- British Parking Association Ltd Code of Practice(Appendix C contains Schedule 4 of POFA 2012 ) & can be found here http://www.britishparking.co.uk/Code-of-Pr...ance-monitoring

At £1.40 a litre it is costing you nearer 21p a mile, which is still miles cheaper. |

All I'm saying is that if you're so skint you need to resort to the trick suggested in the opening post to get round paying for the pay & display, you probably can't afford to drive. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

It is of course £1.40/L. An easier approximation is that the Smart actually does 40-45mpg thus 10miles/L or 14p/mile so my commute costs me about £3.80 or 19p/mile or a little over half what it costs my partner by public transport. -------------------- British Parking Association Ltd Code of Practice(Appendix C contains Schedule 4 of POFA 2012 ) & can be found here http://www.britishparking.co.uk/Code-of-Pr...ance-monitoring
