right i have now got another ticket for my bike being parked outside my house! think that really gets me is that the bike is covered, isn't there some rule saying that wardens can't go uncovering bikes to get the lience number?

No, they can move covers to identify an offending vehicle. Is it illegally parked or did they give you a ticket for fun?

id find another place to park it as if its technically illegally parked, you will technically get a lot of tickets

just park it in the gutter instead of the pavement if you cant be bothered to find a new place or you could try making a cover out of two or three wheely bins

Try chaining down the cover near the back of the bike to try and stop them from looking at the plate. Use one of those alarmed chains so when the try and move it you can run out and knock them out.....

....on second thoughts it might just be best to try and disuade them from giving you a ticket Wink

No, they cannot. They'd have to ask a police officer to do so, but a passer-by could also do this. You can certainly ask them to explain exactly how they got your licence plate number (was your tax disc visible btw?). If the PA has been particularly stupid he may have made a note in his notebook (although judging from the copies I've seen, it's questionable if they can write) to say how this happened, you can get a copy of this when you take the council to the adjudicator.

Does your council really not have residents parking permits for bikes or are you too mean to buy one?

interesting, i have a witness in my landlord of them lifting the cover up to get the number plate! Twisted Evil
and yes my council doesn't have residents permits for bikes, if they did i would have brought one the very next day after i got my first one!

Just get a car one then?

Westminster 'bike' permits were the same price as smaller engined cars, and were square and obviously designed to go on your car windscreen. I displayed mine in a tax disc holder, got loads of tickets but was able to appeal against them all on the grounds that I did have a permit.

i think its bloody pathetic how they can give you a ticket, when you live there, but refuse to offer a permit for a bike.
Cant the wardens use thier common sense for a change?.........oh sorry me they have none.

Another reason thats adding to the growing list of reasons to hate what this country has become Middle Finger

And you do something to cover your numberplate or tax disc, someone uncovers it to give you a ticket, what are you actually going to do? There'd be nothing stopping them ringing the police to report your bike being on a public road without a numberplate displayed. If you've sent a letter to argue the parking ticket explaining about your covered number plate then that's a nice confession for them to show the police.

Pay the parking ticket and park elsewhere next time.
