Same here. - it's not exactly rocket science is it. There are of course those who knowingly park illegally then whine indignantly about how unfair it all is when they get caught.
Our entire high street is a controlled zone with clear signage at all entry points stating that parking is allowed in designated bays only. There's no shortage of idiots, however, who park where they shouldn't or refuse to buy a ticket (only 50p) and prefer to take their chances. I've noticed that when one vehicle is parked up, where it shouldn't it's not long before others follow - sheep I guess. I've even seen people park on the pavement adjacent to double yellow lines, presumably believing that they're safe from.
Mostly they get away with it but sometimes the wardens appear and hand out the tickets.
If these people weren't so stupid and inconsiderate, there'd be far less need for wardens but whilst there's a proportion who'll park where they like, no matter how stupid or dangerous it might be, then controls are inevitable and I have no sympathy for those who get caught at all.
