Another fixed penalty notice
Posted: April 3rd, 2024, 1:45 pm
I've been caught yet again driving around unfamiliar back streets, turned into a road at the wrong time where the sign indicating restricted times wasn't really visible until you had already turned into the road (and the sign/writing is rather small, easily missed when you're also navigating around busy roads). Another £65 when paid within 14 days, otherwise £130. Does very much feel like visitor entrapment. Fine when you're familiar with a area, a risk/penalty for others to bolster Council revenues. I also note the Greater London council tax element increase has also been increased by the maximum
So I've opted to protest, in the form of being rid of my multiple waste bins and have ordered a large general waste bin into which everything will go. Apparently if I'd ordered that next week it would have cost £15, whereas this week it remains free. Maybe I'll revert towards council waste savings if/when the council decides not to discriminate against those with only two eyes instead of three - one for the road, another for the speedometer, another telescopic vision eye that can see around corners and through overhanging trees.
