Yes. We have huge problems with traffic and parents. A lot of our kids are in wheelchairs, seriously disabled and need special access to the school which involves coming into the school car park. This in turn is abused by other parents and leads to all kinds of problems.

Your missing the bigger issue. I think the broccoli tree has been dismissed as merely a 'bush'.

For what it is worth, I'd forgive an ambulance parking like that in an emergency. Heavy rain? I'd hope an attempt to use that argument when getting a parking ticket rescinded would result in an increased fine and being forced to walk precious little Cinderella to and from school whilst wearing a sandwich board with the slogan 'I am an arrogant tw*t who is doing my child no good by raising them to believe it is accepable to flout the law and needs of wider society purely because it inconveniences me and my own self-centred universe'.

I'm letting it go but I've logged it!



Seems a pretty good punishment to me.

the only slight problem is thats jts argument!
no experience of traffic managment then??

this a problem, where ours is just a street away using the school car park is absurd

Edited for Accuracy.

Next time you take your kids to school call in and ask them to learn you some manners. Its fairly obvious you have got o levels in rudeness, there is no call for it. I put it down to the education system its clear that your teachers at school did not go a bundle on job satisfaction.

1] Eh? It is my own as far as I'm concerned. Opinions, welcome to hold em and share em, but in this case I'm siding with the LAW. Incidentally, in my experience of living near schools, private education suffers it worse. QEGS etc was a nightmare to live near. Then again, that's a different debate.

2] No real experience of traffic management, no, other than 6 months in a consult civil engineers' office which specialised in traffic design systems. Admittedly, I had the Quadrophenia post boy job, but it taught me that even the experts struggle. That's why I'd happily defer to the LAW (see 1)

3] Enough now. Got to go to bed. Up early you see, I find beating the traffic and getting a nice space in a perfectly legal car park solves all the problems.

they think they make room for cars to pass and forgot about pedestrians, blocking drives is just ignorant

Ok guys - considered just closing this one, but there is some 'interesting' debate - if only you can keep the insults out. One more and it's gone - and you run the risk of taking a rest.

I'm sure you can continue - minus the silly stuff!

Is it still raining?

no but I'm ready

Discrestion I agree with but schools generally get a warning about parking after complaints parents are informed if they dont heed the warning then suffer the consequences, they should use their discretion and heed the warnings thats my point pal.
