Taxi Driver Online

i know i have a right off an apeal but it does cost money and these people know it . the whole systems stinks of s..t if you ask me.

I gave my evidence explaining my car was actually moving whe he took the photos . in my final conclusion i was stopped mid sentence as i had on 1 minute to summerize . I never got to ask the committe why the T/W was not there in person for me to question him and why he filled in his report in wrongly..(he said it was a thursday when it was a tuesday) and not one question was put to me by any of the committee ,not even whether i recieved the warning letters.

I had my hearing today and have been given 7 days suspension for seemingly parking on dbl yellow lines waiting to get onto a rank. The council sent out 3 letters to all H/C drivers warning about possible suspensions if drivers carried on parking on dbl yellows.
At the hearing the L/A officer mentioned this fact to the committee.
The evidence against me was from a traffic warden , he took a photo of my car . At the hearing i lso produced photos of my car in the same position but my car was moving when they where took .

you should complain about the lack of tim given by the committee.

I know this is like dangling ones bits in the mouth of a lion, but I wonder why the lack of tim's on a committee would make a difference?

Have you had experience of Tim being sympathetic to cab drivers?

As other have said the hearing as to be far and its not if you were not given a chance to give your side of the matter.

It seems to me you have a choice , as you have already suggested, your pretty much a scapegoat anyway;

what about if the lines and signs or legal, is the rank markings legal. why did the ceo not issue a PCN, did that council have a purpose registered with the ICO for passing information. a lot of councils dont, just reported two for just that.

Solicitors cost money; win or lose (apart from in Zia's manor ) , also resign yourself to losing, if what you say is right you may have to appeal to magistrates and this is where a solicitor would be better suited.

You could ask that you want the press present, I'm not sure if this will be allowed, but it seems to me, if they're going to discuss matters pertaining to your interests, the choice is yours?

Go to the meeting and basically ask how many councillors drive, then ask how many have parked on double yellow lines waiting to get into a parking bay......this may create empathy or understanding.

Ask if they think a punishment costing literally hundreds of pounds is worthy of such a trivial matter as a parking offence.

Get ready for magistrates.

Incidentally, I wonder how many pictures the local trade cab take of your councils own vehicles parked illegally around your area.......I bet its a few

Yes Charles, I was being a tad daft, you are correct, the hearing must be fair, unfortunately fair, hearings and councils dont seem to come into sync.

The best way is to go to magistrates then to Crown Court.
