is it legal to put a notice on a car that any parking tickets will be referred to solicitor. This is because I do not intend to pay any tickets until the traffic warden admits to abusing me
 
Re: parking ticket question

It's not illegal to put it up, but it will have no legal effect. The traffic warden can ignore it. Not paying a valid fine will expose you to futher penalties.

I've a feeling there's a lot more to this story. If the warden is "abusing" you, why don't you make a complaint to the local authority

Even so, as j26 says, not paying a valid fine could lead to further penalties.

i have some interesting questions to ask the traffic warden in court if it gets there. I have reason to believe it won't. The warden claimed I was illegally parked when abusing me but did not issue a ticket. There is stuff i cannot mention here due to legal reasons just wanted to know how i stood re having the sign on the car. Can i mention being abused on the car sign or would that be libel as there are only a few wardens
 
Re: parking ticket question

It seems that you have a personal conflict with one particular traffic warden. That should be dealt with separately from any other parking problem.

Your first idea seemed to me a bit over the top; your second one seems daft. Just park legally, and deal with your issue over the warden's behaviour by other means.

There is no way to deal with a liar who is believed and i am, not paying while they can lie about me. you are entitled to your opinion

Did you ask your solicitor, considering you are going to be referring the tickets to them anyway?
 
Re: parking ticket question

From your posts I take it that you were parked legally, the warden abused you but did not give you a ticket. You complained to the local authority, but the local authority did not believe you and sided with the warden. Now you want to put up a sign saying that will discuss any parking tickets that you may get in the future with your solicitor.

It sounds like you think you could get some parking tickets in the future? Do you expect that a warden will give you a ticket while you are parked legally and you wish to let him know in advance that you will contest the matter with him? If that is what you think will happen, then I think you should discuss this matter with a solicitor and follow his professional advice / solution.

Hi OP yes you can put anything you want on your windscreen. Will it have any effect? NO. The easiest way to avoid tickets in my experience is to park legally.

Agree about parking legally etc , however I'm not sure that you can put anything you want on your windscreen - eg. a "for sale" sign is not permitted afaik

Park somewhere else?

If you park legally you won't have any hassle from the warden. Why should you? Unless the warden is keen to get you for time based issues, eg if you park legally at 7pm, but the warden says you parked at 6.45pm, when it is not allowed.

My wife always pays whenever she parks where there is pay and display down at the shops. You don't pay on saturday, one friday she had a day off and went to get her hair done as opposed to the saturday, and completely forgot about paying. She had a ticket after her genuine mistake, but she had to pay the fine, can't remember how much, maybe €30 to €50 or so.
 
Re: Can I put a notice on my car tosay any parking tickets will be referred to solici

Are you using 'Pay & Display' parking?

If so, then I find it hard to understand how you are getting tickets unless you are breaking the time limits.

Your ticket is stamped with a time, and do traffic wardens not take photos of your car parked illegally, again complete with time stamp? They do where I am.

So if you park legally, have a ticket to show you paid for your parking then I don't see how you have a problem with traffic wardens.

Could you explain some more, or are you just perhaps someone who breaks the time limit then complains when they get a ticket?

put a cctv camara in you car park illegally and see what happens (maybe put it on utube for the crack)

No I am somebody who objects to being abused by a tw who then denies it. I am happy to go to court to see if the tw will perjure themselves as well

I do not intend to park legally i.e pay and display anymore until the tw admits the lie. I am happy to go to court because i can prove what was said. I just wondered if it was legal to state so on the screen

I think you should discuss this matter with a solicitor and follow his professional advice
I intend to, thanks

On that point, thread moved to Askaboutlaw. This doesn't really have anything to do with Cars and Motoring.
