Meaning that unless somebody actually complains directly to them about an issue they can effectively disregard it? Is it a civil matter? I think if a vehicle is parking dangerously (i.e. within 10m of a junction) it is a road traffic offence. That's not a civil matter, but then is it criminal?

People ignoring the hundreds of no parking cones and a ridiculous set of traffic lights that nobody can even work out how to use. Then a fleet of DOI vans parked with the orange lights flashing all the way from the bottom of Summerhill Road to the tram sheds. It looks like a major incident when in fact it’s just another major f**k-up. Yes, I saw all of that too, and not a soul doing any work.............. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went for a look along at around 1 30 pm and yes , lights working , lots of cones etc as came down Summerhill. Waited quite awhile to get through lights but zero sign of anyone working or even DOI vans etc. Surprised at the amount of cars parked in the what was supposed to be a parking suspended area. Mind blowing. Maybe the weather put them off. Funny that as I helped a friend out with a job in the rain using my chop saw and circular saw. Yes I got wet big time but needs must....unless you work for DOI. Edited March 14, 2022 by Numbnuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat in traffic because all the bottom of Summerhill is coned off without anyone actually doing any work Maybe @Amadeus is setting an example by making Summer Hill the first of the new "closed roads" play zones. Did you see a load of smiling, fresh-faced youngsters out playing cricket and marbles in the street? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are a few who would fit that description but for all law observation I think you are stretching a point to suit your chosen argument? I would claim to be 98% a considerate driver, I parked in Shoprite to visit the Fairy Glen one rainy evening because those who park on Vic Rd are a bit of a nuisance. Same for similar situations, consider others, even tho one knows that they would not be so considerate. It's all very well to try to defend a stance but really, never stolen a Biro from work, parked on a yellow, failed to say you been given too much change in a shop, rattled the collection box in a church but not actually put anything in, add any other non considerate situations you can think of here??? Then, you are God but then, even he had a few problems? However, most could not agree with your quoted claim. The 'some' would be a small %?

We don’t have a rapid charger network here yet, and it will be some time until we get one. Slowly more rapid chargers are being added (next ones at new Starbucks and KFC, then hopefully shoprite car parks and other locations) but it takes time. If I use the 50kw one at the sea terminal, I can add 30 miles range in the time it takes to get an overpriced coffee from Costa. KFC drive through one step closer. Signage arrived on boat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use just eat in the UK for deliveries. I wonder if they will do the same here. I am pretty sure its NOT the same franchisee, I will check.
