    I'm 37 and I've never had a ticket in my life, it’s not that hard to park responsibly.
    I agree, although it's the ones that hover around parking meters waiting for the second it runs out. Of course they're not on a commission.

            Plastic Plod, Traffic Wardens, Social Services.

            Don't know too many politicians, but those I do know I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire either.

              It's not there but 'pushy sales people' should be.
              I got towed in Manchester after parking at and paying money into a parking meter, I returned before the expired time too.
              It transpired that the Queen was visiting the city that day and they came and closed off those meters an hour later than scheduled, over a dozen cars were towed. The Traffic Wardens responsible were thoroughly rude and obnoxious and it cost a lot of time and money to get my car back.

                Parking laws similar to speed cameras are one hell of a revenue generator for the government. It's practically a business for them now they've recognised the potential. It wouldn't suprise me at all if the wardens had incentivised targets to meet.

                I don't 'park irresponsibly' or 'flout the law' but I thoroughly detest those wardens who hang around soon to run out meters like vultures.

                I even was told once by one that I it was OK to park somewhere because the yellow line was 'broken' - he said 'go on mate you'll be fine, they can't get you for parking on there it's a broken line'

                When I came back his mate was giving me a ticket, apparenly I could've taken photos (like they do) to contest it, wouldn't have parked there in the first place if his mate hadn't have told me

                  It's pretty much the only one that you can avoid all the time.
