and the spiteful cunts that give you them. In generral though... the way drriverrs arre constantly being tarrgeted forr money money money. It's sickening. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drivers SHOULD be fucking targeted for more money. If people who actually lived within bike or walk-range of the place they were going to actually walked or biked, it'd take a huge load off the environment! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So should YOU. YOU should be tarrgeted. |

||||||||
|

I have no idea how to drive :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
cars are for long-distance and heavy transportation. shorter distances are feet and bike-friendly. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

if you parked illegally, I'm not against it. It's not hard to spot those "no parking" signs. If you were 10 minutes late back to your car when buying a parking ticket and all that I think it's a bit over the top, but those meter-maids (or whateverthefucktheyarecalled) couldn't possibly stand around for 10 minutes at every car just to see if the owner returns... I'm mostly talking about the other fees.. I'm not sure which of these you got in england, but here's there's a environment fee you have to pay annually or something and then there are various small fees to be paid once in a while (gasoline is taxed or whatever, so it's a bit more pricy than it could, and that doesn't bother me one bit. then there are the road-fees.. I think that's annually too, and it goes to upkeep of the roads. Then there's those booths where you pay every time you pas). |

|
|
And how does taking the money of drriverrs help the envirronment in anyway what-so-everr? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fees don't stop drriverrs they stop poorr drriverrs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it discourages them and makes them want to bike instead. also, the money is used for anti-pollution things like support to collective traffic and the creation of "green lungs" or whatever that is called. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and the rich ones have enough money, so they should really not be upset that they have to pay for some environment help. the poor ones can enjoy the cheaper and better collective transportation systems that are made possible by the money paid by the rich bastards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a tip from me. take your £60 fine to the bank. ask for it in 10 pence pieces. then simply hand over to the bastard in the parking office, take a seat and read a magazine till theyre finished counting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I might just do that if I take it in perrson |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm angrry because I parrked up with about 4 otherr carrs in the carr parrk at the verry end of the day and got the ticket at 5.26, which is 4 minutes beforre you don't have to pay. He must have seen me and crrept overr and done it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aye, they get paid commission so thats their incentive for booking as many cars as they can. you know they get paid double per car at christmas as well? i seriously fucking hate parking wardens. like police, i think you have to be at least a bit of a prick to want to be one. |
||||||||

Take it from one who knows, 95% of parking-relating jobs are staffed by absolute, utter cunts. It seems to breed a twisted kind of Us vs Them attitude, nasty. 60 quid is a lot of money :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that was a bit over the top... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
theres nothing more satisfying than driving away whilst they write the ticket tho :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you parked in a car park and didn't pay? so what makes you so special that everyone else pays and you don't? you fucking deserve to get stung you dosy tight-arsed git |
||||||||
|
|

|

i get parking tickets sometimes for forgetting to park on the opposite side of my street on street-sweeping days, twice a week. they're only $10, but i usually forget about them until i get a notice in the mail, by which time they cost me $20. |

In the UK they are obliged to wait up to 4mins for the driver, but you'd be very hard pushed to find one that does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah you do. I fucking hate them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a complete and utterr joke, honestly. I'd kick off big style. The only prroblem is it's neverr actually anyones fault but yourr own. You can neverr get to the perrson who decides it's a 'fault' |

I heard some while ago that people that drive those 'people carriers' or 4x4s were going to have their road tax (in the UK) doubled. I think that is a good idea. What annoys me is you see these people driving these massive 'off road vehicles' and all the do is drop off little Jimmy at school. The road is clogged with them about 8.30-9.00am in the mornings! You could understand it if one of two parents took it in turns, and picked up another 2 dozen kids....but they dont!! Going back to the topic at hand, traffic wardens should target these people as they stop on the yellow 'zigzags' outside schools! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why should it bother you that they're driving a 4x4 as opposed to any other car. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It kind of makes you want to kill doesn't it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats a loaded question. |

those cars are made for steep hills and rough terrain. I'm pretty sure they use more gasoline and pollute more than other regular cars at same speeds... they have more powerful engines, but that doesn't mean they go faster at lower (don't know the translation.. rotation of the engine or whatever.. the little measure-thingie that's x1000. the word we use would be roughly translated to "revolutions" (in the "going round" meaning of the word, and not the "oh, it's something brand new" meaning)), but rather that they have the power to climb a hill at lower (see last parenthesis). anyway, I think they pollute more, and there really is no need for them in the city. |
