Think I'm confusing the kerb with a line though it's hard to see. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15834#post-206371 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 18:02:21 +0000 Ed1 206371@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Seems a bit odd could they not have made payment with out prejudice while still going through the appeals process then taken the council to court to try and recover the 30 , council may have folded as would be more in cost to defend as below any allowable costs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15834#post-206370 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 17:52:39 +0000 mmaohara 206370@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Of course what they have done is wrong, yet seizing a car valued even at £1700 for payment of a £274 fine seems a bit criminal in itself. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15834#post-206356 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 14:24:55 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 206356@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not seeing those signs, the paint on the road, and the big information screen to the left! They should be thankful it was just "signs" they didn't see and not a cyclist or pedestrian. If I were a prosecutor I've be charging them with driving without due care and attention. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15834#post-206354 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 14:03:08 +0000 Arellcat 206354@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Seems pretty well signed to me: <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.862136,-4.2549088,3a,75y,109.36h,76.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sraE1iAJuEfuXunmFf50ddw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en">Streetview</a></p> <p>although I wonder if the Google car (and associated other cars) <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.8620702,-4.2544415,3a,75y,297.13h,76.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1nIrvRfserT3mYzPASJOTw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en">had permission to drive in it</a>, unless the images were captured outside 7am to 7pm.</p> <p>Judging by Autotrader, a 2013 Dacia Sandero in 2015 is worth a lot more than £1700. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15834#post-206339 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 11:59:37 +0000 cb 206339@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>the original £30 penalty having risen to £274</em></p> <p>Mr and Mrs Bonelle, meet Appreciation.
