Just the sort of hardened criminal we need our glorious parking enforcement officers to make an example of. Imagine if we let these debauched grey haired terrorist roam our city streets unchecked!
Have to agree with you

This is just another example of logic being erased by money. Sure, parking in busy cities has become a paid comodity but like many councils it has been milked to its extremes with parking enforcement officers adopting an over zealous approach in an effort to squeeze every last drop of milk from said cow. Of course what people readily forget is that it is to the councils advantage every time their enforcement officers issue an infringement notice - lets face it, the fine is usually significantly greater than the cost of parking.
As for the OP, precisely what is the definition of "parking". In my relatively basic understanding of the english language it would be a different definition to "stopping" with the intent of being courteous to another road user.

The rules have exceptions for vehicles involved in enforcement or public works. That means the Councils can't spin the line that every "offence" is a matter of public safety or they wouldn't be able to do it themselves.
