Bilbo in trouble with the law

I parked outside my bank this morning to cash a cheque. It was pouring with rain and I was in the bank for 5 mins max.

Anyhoo some traffic warden bint was outside recording my details when I got out.

I tried to appeal to her human side but obviously being a traffic warden she didn't have one so remembering a popular myth about a ticket not being issued until it's on your windscreen I got into my car a drove off before she had a chance to issue me with it.

So my question to any fellow lawbreakers is did I get away with it?

As I havn't received a ticket have I escaped penalty? If I get a letter asking for payment shall I just say I was never issued a ticket?

Anyone know?

Britain might be different,but it used to be in the US,if they get a detail wrong,you walk.
Of course she might have gotten all the details of your vehicle right,in which case,even in the states your screwed

I fucking hate it when, even though you're trying to reason with them, they carry pushing the buttons and then start printing it. They then proceed to tell you it's too late now it's printed it's gone into the system >:mad

Saddo'll know ;)

This happens often in my area. Usually,they still give you the ticket,because as you are driving off,they take your number plate details.If she got this,you're getting the ticket.Even if she didn't issue you the ticket there and then(and I'd research it first in case there is a law regarding it) she could just say you drove off! ou'll find out sooner or later!

Yeah I'm starting to regret it now. I mean if I would have just stayed I would have got a £30 fine.

Now I can't pay it as I don't have a ticket and so it will probably escalate to £60 when I eventually get the letter.

Furthermore I can't really appeal as it was outside a bank so obviously CCTV footage will show me talking to her, failing to get a response and then speeding off in a huff.

In hindsight I should have just snatched her stupid little machine and thrown it into the sea, that way she wouldn't have my details.

You'll be in luck to get away with just the fine!

But hey, if she didn't immediatly get after ya via the real cops thats a pretty good sign

I found an interesting article here

This gives me hope!

Fuck it, whatever happens I'm going to appeal. I may even say she swore or used offensive language at me, anything to get me off lol

Did you tell her about your lung issues and how you cannot walk 3 feet without passing out? Or did you just call her a ringwraith and stomp on her foot?

Seriously though, you should have a handicapped parking sticker.

Yeah Bilbo, just say you were having one of your "bad" days and you could feel yourself grow faint as you attempted to speak to the wretched woman!

ha I used to have a blue disabled badge but I don't qualify for one any more unfortunately as giving me one would mean they would also have to pay me disability benefits and give me a free motability car.

But I will be sure to use my ailing lungs as an excuse in any appeal.

Actually I'm getting pretty fired up about it now and am looking forward to presenting my case in a court of law.

It's outrageous that she gave me this ticket. She must literally have ran to my car from wherever she was hiding as soon as I stepped into the bank. She hadn't even issued a ticket or finished writing everything into her little machine so hopefully I may yet get away with it anyway.

If for example she gets the colour of the car wrong I will be sure to appeal that too.

I think your screwed bilbo if the ticket is printed..The DVLA have all details on this database called experian...they get the details from your registration...it gives CHassis NO BI code colour
cc make and model..address...even who your insured with.....and who is insured on the policy

Yep they probably have my details, my point is though I wasn't actually issued with a ticket. I drove off whilst she was still processing it which means it technically wasn't issued to me.

If they send me a bill by letter I will appeal it. I was parked in a loading bay and technically if I was loading or unloading I shouldn't get a ticket.

Now I know I can hardly say I was unloading a letter but she gave me a ticket literally within two minutes of me arriving at that parking spot so technically according to the law that's not enough time to be able to ascertain my intentions. I will merely say I was there to pick up a washing machine or something and when I saw her walking towards my car I got in it and moved it.

If they reject my appeal I will say I am happy to go to court to contest it and hopefully they will drop it as it wont be worth the hassle.

I can be a very petty and pedantic little man when I believe I've been wronged and more than happy to challenge them in court :soapbox: :smash:

I think you're through with money. You got a ticket if she wrote down the info. I got one 15 years ago. They wrote down my license plate number, but said it was a brown truck. (Mine was white.) Plus, I had a good alibi. I was with two police detectives at the time the parking ticket had been issued- my house had been broken into. Did me no good.

If you get the fine, you get the fine mate. Well done for driving away though it's worth a go LOL.
Good luck fella.

I was thinking of this and remembered a time about 11 years ago when I was pulled over for turning up a one way street in order to get out of a bad neighborhood as quick as possible.  Yes, a cowardly move, I know.

Anyway, a cop pulled me over and issued a ticket whislt letting my registartion blow away into the night sky.  He just offered a simple "sorry" and sent me on my way. All the way home I imagined some scumbag finding it, getting to my home before me and hiding in my bedroom closet.

I still got the ticket.

I think your safe dude.As soon as she runs your stats and Description her superiors will laugh it off......."A stoutly Halfling with hairy feet and pegs on the pedals fled muttering something about said officer pissing off...." They'll say she was sauced.
Dont you guys "across the pond" have Buukoo cameras?As long as they have your Didgits they will most likely ticket you.
Ball that thing up and toss it and hope they dont have a Monthly quota to meet.Good luck

A mates older brother engaged in the following activities last year*
On a quite night in he consumed two bottles of the local shop's finest cheapest Buckfast...
Having drank his fill and begun to take a more liberal view on the world's set laws and morals he text his girlfriend saying he'd be over in a minute and to wait for him in bed....
However he encountered a staggering predicament....His brother had just left and therefore he was without legal means of transportation. As he was about to text his girlfriend of his inability to drive to her location he received a "descriptive" text from his girlfriend.

With new motivation he grabbed his keys and headed for his newly modified car...
From his version of events he was going ok for the first mile, although holes in various walls along the way suggest otherwise. On the second mile he ran into a telephone pole and virtually tore the car in two. Quite upset by the whole situation he walked the 2 miles home and got on the phone to the guards and within an hour had made a statement on how someone had robbed his car!

To top that off he hitched a lift from the same officers to his girlfriends house, whom i believe is currently pregnant...

Dude, if you appeal...start with "she's a woman..."

You'll should get sympathy off any judge for that. Women are lucky we let them work and don't keep them in the home. I don't know...we give them the vote...now they want equal oppertunites!!! What is the world coming to? ;D

Ok a brief update.

I telephoned the Penalty Notice office in Torquay today to find whether I had been issued a ticket or not.

The girl I spoke to on the phone whilst searching for my details told me that if I wasn't actually given a ticket the charge is normally voided, great news.

Then she said I had been given a ticket and that the lying whoremongering bitch of a traffic warden had written in her notes that she had placed the ticket on my windscreen! >:mad

Ok so now Bilbo is really really pissed. The girl on the phone gave me an address to write to and I have written a letter complaining.

If necessary I will even attempt to get CCTV footage from the bank to support my case that she did not give me a ticket.

I'll let you know what happens.

PS. Is it wrong that I keep wishing a horrible death upon this woman? She's irritated me so much I'm really hoping she gets killed in an horrific road accident this week. A bit over the top or fully justified hatred for a loathsome woman?

yeah cctv footage has to be given to you on request by law.... they cannot deny your request.

get the cow done and good luck ;)

GOOOOOO BILBO!

Standing up for the common man...with none more common than your good self.

Anyhow...if you have never physically received a ticket then it must be impossible for them to expect you to make a payment without it. I'd just tell em to fuck off until the warden actually brings the ticket round to your house and gives it to you in person. Obviously, you lay on the sick man routine pretty thick, and hopefully she'll be begging you to let her not give you the ticket after all.

I hate traffic wardens - they are worthless little Hitlers who forget they are supposed to be keeping the roads clear of obstructions, rather than maximising income.

They DO lie, so you should appeal - and if you actually win, you should demand that they discipline or dismiss her for lying.

Alternatively, if you have some time, you could just follow her all day (including to her home at the end of her shift) without particularly looking at her or speaking to her .... it will freak her out.

Once you know where the bitch lives, drop some Polonium into her food and then you can watch her die slowly of cancer.

Haha, you evil fucker! :coolclick: #513

Here if they get the info, you get the ticket regardless.

That is one thing that has always scared me about England, the CCTV's. I would hate if they did that here. I would never be able to write my name in the snow when drunk ever again.

Ah seeing this thread resurface has made my blood boil all over again.

I did write a letter to the council telling them the ticket needed to voided as not only did she not present me with a ticket but that I had two independent witnesses to the fact. (I kinda lied about that bit ::**)

Anyways that was a couple weeks ago and I've heard nothing since.

I'm going to fight it though, and if I do lose my appeal I'll just start stalking her and when she's on her own I'll mow her down in my car.

That'll teach her >:mad

We shall not be divided!!! If you are to be convicted, the Saddo's legions will be there with you. They can't take us all to prison! I'll write a letter telling them of my mild annoyance at your persecution.

I'm not sure, but I heard if you can slap it to her and finish before she's done writing the ticket you get a freeby. I don't know about the ticket, though. My cousin said his best friend's next door neighbor did it, so I dunno.
