By

This vehicle, registration number: DNN 827 EC, was spotted in 6th Avenue Walmer Shopping Centre Parking on 25/02/2013 at around 03:00 pm. This image was sent to me by a citizen who would prefer to remain anonymous. She says that she couldn't spot a disabled sticker anywhere on this vehicle. It certainly is not to be seen on the front windscreen at all. Reminds me of a recent incident that I had where I told the driver of a metered taxi that he should know better to park in a disabled … [Read more...] about Today’s Traffic Hooligan is DNN 827 EC

Our very first Traffic HERO of the Day

By

I am of the humble opinion that I have vast experience in photographing and dealing with people who park illegally in Disabled Parking areas. Up until yesterday the people that I have photographed or engaged in corrective behaviour with have been rude and dismissive of my community spirited attempt to take up the cudgels on behalf of the disabled. I have been verbally abused, accused of being racist, physically intimidated, warned by the Longhair that someone will take a knife to me and … [Read more...] about Our very first Traffic HERO of the Day
