Police in Leeds have started dishing out tickets in the middle of the night to illegally parked cars that have been parking in the same place for years without penalty.
Parking fines
It seems that the speed limit on the road is going to be altered from 40 Mph to 30 Mph and someone must have noticed that in a 40 limit you have to park with lights on.
So round they go, 3:00am and start ticketing every car on the street. People who have lived there and parked there for decades are suddenly getting £30 fixed penalty notices.
I understand that they are breaking the law, which they will not be once the limit is reduced but why has it not been applied before ? It just smacks of money grabbing.
