You’ve seen those white painted boxes at the edge of dropped kerbs? Those are official “no parking here, seriously” markers. Parking over one is asking for a fine. Treat them like a velvet rope at a club—you’re not getting in.
And no, you can’t argue “but I was only gone for a minute!” The traffic warden has heard that one a thousand times. They might even laugh—laugh at your misfortune—as they slap on the ticket.
But My Friend Says It’s Fine…
Friends lie. Or they just don’t know. Trust the law, not Dave from work who parks like a maniac. In a survey, nearly 20% of UK drivers admitted to parking on dropped kerbs. That’s millions of people risking fines, and maybe one of them is your friend Dave. Don’t be Dave.
