I guess only drivers trying to wriggle out of a fine will ever pick up the Traffic Signs Manual and only the most determined will make through to the 2006 regulations.
The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 – extract below, which I think is Chris’s 20cm Eureka! moment, if he’s arguing about there being an entrance sign to a permits only locality.

A44 Cotheridge crash on black ice: teen’s ‘miracle escape’
Now her family wants answers because they say the road had not been gritted – however, Worcestershire County Council insist the road was treated.
Miss Leather said: “I am so thankful to still be alive and thank goodness there are some lovely people in this world willing to help.
“Please get something sorted with this road, so no one has to go through what I did.”

The ridiculous car centric
The ridiculous car centric design of these “out of town” centres – if you just want the shops on this development then all is well. If you want something else you either have to move your car 300 yards or, like in the equivalent at Salisbury, fight your way along muddy paths, through the bushes and a long since broken fence to cross the road to get to for example B&Q if you’ve been to Halfords.
I’d have thought a simple time limit would be more effective in this instance.
A new twist on the parkco
A new twist on the parkco fines here and driver victimhood evolves to meet the challenge:
“For them to restrict my freedom of movement to a car park even though I’m a paying customer is disgusting really. If I’d known I couldn’t even cross the road I wouldn’t have done it. I certainly don’t want to be paying a £100 fine when I’ve spent money there.”

sorry this has got nothing to do with cycling and just a passing reference to cars : “honk if you’re a as full of hatred as we are!”.
How do you get to the stage where you’re prepared (superficially at least – you can bail out any time) to live like asylum seekers often live in order to oppose them.

This seems to raise more
This seems to raise more questions than it answers, like what’s the sequence from getting a ticket to court (collection of a debt) and to whatever tribunal (which hasn’t pronounced yet.
Also, IME Council officers are regulations anoraks and if there is a 20 cm rule, as there is in this house let me tell you, they’re usually well across it.

Wow, is this what we’ve come to now? Police, traffic wardens, parking attendants almost anyone who works in the public domain particularly where drivers are concerned. (+ idiot comments)
