I parked on a large lump of mud or waste ground adjacent to double yellow lines. Therefore, my car was not on or touching the yellow lines, or on the highway. However, I was given a Penalty Notice from our friends in the Parking Office in Brighton. I appealed but they said that the double yellow lines extend in theory to the next natural barrier, i.e. say all the way to a fence or wall. Is this right? I argued that if cars park on the pavement in Elm Grove surely why don't they get a ticket? Told that is a special dispensation road as the pavement is wide. My fine has now increased to £70 do I still fight it?
