If I have displayed a ticket for parking my car but the screen is covered in snow, how can the wardens tell if it has expired?

I can see this thread snowballing out of control

I think you're making the assumption that they aren't sat in the Police canteen or local cafe.

We all know they will just do it using the cameras and just send a fine in the post when you've been parked there longer than any ticket will allow...

Enjoy the rest of your day

Try that excuse in court and I think you'll get a frosty reception... if you get my drift.

Snow way they could take you to court without proper evidence,not gritty enough for them to get there teeth into if you get my drift!!!

That said, i got a parking ticket yesterday.

Carnt get the car around the back to the drive as the side road is too snow steep and snow covered so i left it on the road at the front, but because others have had the same the only spaces are either marked out bays (1hour max, no rtn within2, between 8 and 6) or single yellows (no parking between 8 and 6) so i went for the bays.

Lift shared into work (i live with colleages and given the weather it seemed mad not to) and got back in the evening to a NCP.

Im appealing it as the lines where total covered and theres no where else i can put it but i was still and extra car on the road to work today to avoid re-occurence.

Funny as this morning the police station, which is opersite my house and said space, emptied their carpart onto the road as its its on enough of a slope to cause issues. I bet they dont get ruddy ticketed!

I imagine they could get you on "failure to display a valid ticket" on the basis that if they can't see it you haven't displayed one
