Litotes Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The street gestapo are getting even more powers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-64333697 Perhaps this means that they will enforce yellow boxes to improve flow - would anyone like to bet how many more will appear as they use it as another method of revenue generation while doing very little to improve the lives of the residents of Sheffield, as has happened in many other schemes.

Simply dont perform any moving traffic infringements. Simple, isnt it? Bit like these people who moan when they get parking tickets. Erm, dont park on yellow lines or in places you shouldnt park in then 😏 This is a tax on stupidity, I'm all for it.

Resident Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Just register a taxi plate, preferably an out of town one such as Calderdale or North East Derbyshire, since they'll give them to anyone. That way SCC won't bother you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to change the thread title to '......apply for....' instead of '..,given...' - that's assuming you've read the news item It's a shame they need to apply for these things - if motorists did what they should do & didn't do what they shouldn't do - SHAZAM no requirement to apply for such measures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Exactly. Plus its a handy new funding stream for a skint local authority to tax the stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
