I am sick and tired of reading about the woes of drivers who are basically breaking the law and then don't like it when they are caught.

Your story of August 9 is a prime example. The guy was parked on double yellow lines and his car was duly towed.

If he'd parked legally in the first place, he wouldn't have had a problem. Why should we feel sorry for him because he chose to ignore the law?

I live round the corner from Hampton Place in Brighton. I often can't walk down the street because cars are parked on the pavement.

The road has a single yellow line but, because it is a narrow road, cars are parked on the pavement all the time.

They are damaging the pavement and blocking pedestrians, who then have to walk in the road itself.

I know there are some overzealous parking attendants out there but if you don't give them the chance to catch you in the first place, you'll never have to worry about them.
