AIBU?

AIBU to contest this parking ticket? (pics included)

This looks like a legitimate space right? Road markings to indicate it's a space, no signs anywhere saying no parking. Before I go to the bother of appealing, I wanted to get some second opinions.

Unless she is riding a motorbike there is no way she can get a car the other side of that white line...

Those little narrow spaces right against the fence op? I can't see how any car would fit there, but look forward to the evidence.

Fine for what? There are no double yellow lines, no signs, so what is the actual issue with parking there?

It's a car park. You have to park between the lines of a designated parking bay.

It's always worth a try.

Looks like a bit of road, or driveway, not a space

Those are the only lines I can see 001, so I think that's what she meant.

I'm a bit flummoxed by this thread if I'm honest.

That's my worry too Miffle. Sad

I think the OP means parking along the line, not face on to the barrier. Still doesn't look like a space to me.

Don't worry Miffle. All we have to do is go to every railway station carpark in the country if she doesn't come back.

We need to be able to see the whole "space". No idea from what you have posted so far.

I think she meant that too witsender, but still not a space, unless the op has a special contraption that folds time and space.

Report

Perhaps the op thinks that it needs to fit within the front and back of the space and is ignoring the side of the space. It's the only logical explanation, but she is clearly wrong if so.

Is there not a line at the top as well? I'm so confused!

Unles your car fits inside the white lines it's not a space

So it has to be big enough for that

I've looked and looked at the photos and unless the OP has magical tardis I can't see how that is a space? Hmm

I'M BACK!! Blimey, I've caused a lot of confusion by those last pictures! I've been the train station to take some photos in situ. Two other people had done exactly the same as me today so these are pics of other cars. You see what I mean now? The (albeit short) white lines indicate a length space for a car. There is no obstruction being caused and no signs saying 'parking'. So, my question is AIBU to have assumed this was a space and appeal? If he majority think I don't have a case I will pay! Thanks all
