here ya goThese are the govt regulations.

A bit of a read but this info will be enough to invalidate most parking tickets, on yellow lines, in bays etc as very few road markings are laid accurately enough to conform with the law. Thats what happens when councils give road marking contracts to the lowest bidder.
This link takes you straight to yellow lines.

Note the dimensions given, I got them wrong above. Also note the wording, "permitted variants : none". This means if the pikey road markers are off even by a few millimetres from the permitted dimensions in laying the line or bay etc then the line/bay/marking is invalid.
Do not even bother sending photos to them. Just tell them the line is invalid. It is up to them to investagate.
