| Comment | I'm a parking ticket nerd, and this is pretty much spot on. The only issue I have is with the 'single package' thing. It can be under some circumstance, but not necessarily.
There are a few tests that determine whether loading is actually loading or not. They're looking for some combination of big / heavy / difficult to carry longer distances / fragile / valuable. Pick any two or three of those, and you've got loading. You could still appeal and be successful, but if the attendant saw you walking down the street with one package under your arm and made a note of it, they'd likely reject your loading argument.
Deliveroo and JustEat drivers commonly get penalty charge notices for parking on double yellow lines and walking into takeaways to pick up orders. It's pretty unfair because it's a shit job that doesn't pay well and puts wear and tear on your car. But the law says that walking out of KFC with one brown paper bag isn't loading, so they're basically fucked. That's an entire day's money down the pisser. |
