Call me a cab to get to the kerb


That is a car which has been abandoned rather than parked. The driver has received some words of advice from Mr Mustard.

That apart the PCN for being parked more than 50cm from the kerb, which would be a contravention if true, won't stick as traffic wardens just guess at the distance rather than measure it.

What Mr Mustard has done is to have the actual kerb width measured. He has then measured the same distance in the photo and the distance from the kerb to the car wheel (sometimes the mirror will be the nearest part of the car but not in this case) and so by scaling the distances he makes the car about 42cm from the kerb.

The informal challenge has already been rejected. That leaves the formal representations in response to the Notice to Owner and then the Appeal to the independent adjudicator, which will be the most likely place to get the best result despite the appalling parking.

Yours frugally

Mr Mustard
