Today’s Traffic Hooligan is FRN 080 EC

By

This vehicle, registration number: FRN 080 EC, was spotted in Five Ways Shopping Centre on 04/12/2012 at around 02:47 pm.

Then they need to take public transport to the Drivers Licence Testing Centre and voluntarily hand their licences in. I say it over and over again - depriving the disabled minority of their rights to park in any area is just downright rude and insensitive. The rules … [Read more...] about Today’s Traffic Hooligan is FRN 080 EC

By

This vehicle, registration number: FXN 206 EC, was spotted in Acres Shopping Centre, Perridgevale on 04/12/2012 at around 03:15 pm.

And, after highlighting that he should not be parking there, he still made no effort to move.
