It's not always
that easy.

Where I live I have to park on double yellow lines. There is simply nowhere else to park.

Well...that's not entirely true. There is a carpark right opposite, but there are no resident tickets. I would have to pay.....£1.90 for 30 mins!

That's over 90 quid a day if I leave my car there. That just isn't feasable, so I (and many, many others) park illegally.

Thankfully, the line is broken and there is no t-bar on the end, so when and if we do get nicked (and we do), then we all get out of it, every time.

The road with the double yellows on it, really has no business having double yellows there - it's a quiet side road, with a club (rbl) a pub and a few houses in it.

Used to be single yellow for part of it until a couple of years ago, when some bright spark decided money could be made by making the whole lot double yellow.
