FreeTrafficLegalAdvice Private parking tickets
We recently received a PCN from smart parking regarding a fine for parking at OK Diner in Oswestry. Upon entering the main car park on 22/2/26, there were no parking spaces by Starbucks (our destination) so we found a space in what seemed to be a general carparking area, parked up, and went to Starbucks to purchase coffee and use the bathroom. On 16/3, I, the registered keeper, received a PCN through the post issued on 4/3.We did not see any signs about restricted parking areas and when we looke

Carrie - sorry I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday here.  I did it on FB and forget when I finally got her.  So everyone took 4 pieces of pizza right away???  Geeze, are they afraid they will miss out........  like you almost did?  So all our plans today haven't happened.  WE both slept in (I got another 8 hours), DH made breakfast.  I knew we wouldn't do DS but thought we were going to the brewery maybe and when I asked DH he said his back was bothering him from his ribs to his foot so

The clean answer is this: if his aim is the usual court-door resolution, he should not do a split plea online. He should respond within the 21-day limit by pleading not guilty to both charges, which gets the case out of the single justice paper process and into open court. GOV.UK says a not guilty response under the SJP means the case goes to court, and the Criminal Procedure Rules treat a not guilty response as a notice requiring listing, whereas written representations and mitigation are tied

I'm still chortling at the idea that the 45 year old divorced F150-driving, Rogan-listening dude demographic who voted for Trump based on racism is going to listen to PP talk about tariff free trade and change their minds about who they support.

May I suggest you shorten and focus your 'further representations'. The facts:You parked on an UNMARKED length of highway;The authority claim that this was a parking place reserved to permit holders;In support they refer to Controlled Parking Zones as establishing parking place restrictions.etc..In law, IMO the only issues are:Was the length of highway marked?  No it wasn't as shown in their evidence.Were the required signs, indicating a Permit Parking Area, placed as required and visible at th

Interesting point, which I must admit I overlooked due to being distracted by the issue discussed. Is this simply TfL being a strategic partner in the "Safety Camera Partnership" (which is never a partnership in law), or part of a land grab to increase its funding by increasing the scope of its war against motorists?

Absolutely 100%. I think that?s the best display I?ve seen at Wembley for some time. Quality of the highest order from Peter Bankes and his season continues to go from strength to strength. He can expect important matches in the run in.

Hi Andy,Yes I did chuckle at the 4D naminghttps://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2026/march/tfl-launches-trial-of-new-radar-based-speed-camerasApparently its due to the radar being 4D and doing elevation alongside distance, speed and angle - not sure I'd agree with either the 3D or 4D naming for radars that but there you go there's the 4th D!Strange thing for TFL to be trialling but it is what it is I suppose.

Platos Kave General Discussion
When I opened this forum in 2014, I was just trying to create a place where people could discuss this whole new world (to me) of Advaita Vedanta, Zen, Buddhism, the Sufi's, Christian mystics etc. I had taken it all in as a full time job, well actually it was more 24/7, like drinking from a firehose and I was looking for people who seemed to be on the same "seeker" journey to bounce ideas off of and to learn from. Mostly these people came from Ken's forum where cross talk was prohibited.Over time
