Why do you say that Mr Happy.

When you pass your test, you are supposed to be a responsible driver. The highway code, which as far as i know is the law of the land, states what is allowed or not.

If you think, these laws don't apply to you (which seems to be the norm these days), then you can only expect a fine or points on your licence.

I have been done several times for speeding. I was at fault, not the speed cameras or police. I paid my fines.

I have once been accused of parking illegally, and that was in Amsterdam. The police took my car away. I had to go to court and proved that I hadn'r parked illegally, as the area wasn't signed properly. I won the case. In that case I wasn't at fault.

All I can say, is know the highway code and you will know if you are breaking the law. Just stop blaming the people who have to issue the fines.

As far as disbaled parkers are concerned, I am sure that it is quite easy under the new rules to explain the situation etc and they will rescind the fine.

As far as the bus is concerned, I am sure there is a case to be fought.

Sometimes, because of the selfish, I couldn't give a sod, type people, the innocent accidentally get caught in the net.

I agree with what Backwoodsman has to say.

Stop whinging and abide by the law, and you won't have to whinge
