The AppealNow.com 2004 Annual Award for the craziest parking ticket

AppealNow.com is pleased to announce the winner of its second annual award for the craziest parking ticket handed out in 2004.

And the Winner is:
NADHIM ZAHAWI, a local authority councillor, who was thrown from his scooter and left lying in the road in London with a broken leg. As he was being put into the ambulance with its lights flashing, and with a nearby police car in attendance, his damaged bike was given a �100 parking ticket by a Lambeth Parking attendant.


Barrie Segal, AppealNow.com��s founder said, �AppealNow.com scoured the length and breadth of the UK to find the craziest parking ticket. This one stood head and shoulders (and broken leg) above the others and is a worthy successor to Bugsy the Manchester Bunny Rabbit that won last year�s award.
Because we found so many worthy contenders we have given a list of runners-up and also a Special Category award.

they're not always just doing their job. they usually have quotas to fill, more money to make for the city government.

when i lived in new york...a school bus of all vehicles ran my tiny little honda off the road into a snow bank. (the bus just kept going, how nice!) i walked two blocks back to my house to call a tow, but by the time i walked two blocks back to the car...it had already been towed by the city police. it took me a week and $250 to get my car back, and when i finally got it...there were two parking tickets under my wipers! one for "parking illegally" and one for "parking in a no parking zone" (aren't those two the uh, same?) both tickets were expired, thus i had to pay double. cost me another $75.

in pittsburgh, i once got a parking ticket for "not parking in a parking space" even though i was in a space AND i paid the meter for the space. if its not a parking space, how could there be a parking meter?????

again, in pittsburgh...i got a ticket for an "expired parking meter" even though the meter was paid. the meter maid pre-wrote my ticket for the time my meter was to expire, hoping i wouldn't make it back to my car before that time. i made it back 10 minutes before the ticket was "written".
