Parking Your Car

[TWR]

Yes right section, when you paid £1..£2..£3 for parking and return early and there is time left on your ticket, do you pass your ticket to someone else that's just at the park?

[Sqad]

If they are "fool enough" and an hour suits my needs..........I will take it, but don't expect me to reciprocate.

[cazzz1975]

"well it does say on all the tickets ive had "not transferable" so you could get done if parking guy sees you doing this"

How would they know it had been transferred? unless the parking warden lies in wait for hours everyday which is unlikely because they normally cover a large area.

yes, If I have a good amount of time left on the ticket I would hand it to someone else to benefit from.

Don't you just love grumpy old docs ;)

Ann...if Sqad saw a gorgeous and classy woman getting out of a car he'd be over there with his ticket in a flash.....☺

[Prudie]

Easy for him to say, there's not that many places you have to pay at all out there. Anyway yes I always offer it if there's a decent enough time left and I have often be given them too.

I have this image of Sqad sitting at home with a parking ticket with time left on it, gloating as the minutes to its expiry tick by.
I guess everyone needs a hobby lol

Yes, I pass mine on or stick it on the ticket machine

[gness]

Sitting at home, MrsO? I'll bet he stays in the car park til the last second on his ticket.....☺

[Ellipsis]

> wouldn't it be great if everyone using a car reg. number system put in the same false number....☺

Like *** OFF?

Not really a great idea, as then everyone would have an invalid ticket ...

[gness]

Certainly not that number, Ellipsis.... not in my vocabulary and no fun....☺

[anneasquith]

dump the car...........walk or use public transport .

Envy is a terrible thing, it'll eat you up, make you old before your time!

[Baldric]

AH, ^^^ Methinks we're too late anyway!

"so you could get done if parking guy sees you doing this"

highly unlikely though

[Dee Sa]

always do, hand it to someone or leave on the ticket machine to me its like revenge on the local council.

[janbee]

I've quite often seen parking tickets handed over to new drivers entering the car park. Good idea. Shame to waste the balance of the time. I always pass mine on to a newcomer and hope that they in turn will do likewise another day for someone else.
My local council though is getting wise to this and now , in some car parks, drivers have to enter reg. no on ticket so it can't then be transferred.

All our car parks are registration number ones, now. What a faff.

Putting your glasses on to read the keyboard, forgetting your registration number, taking your glasses off so you can read the number from a distance, putting your glasses on to continue inputting the number, finding the right change, getting your ticket, walking back to the car..........and by the time you've done all that you have forgotten why you went into town in the first place.
