    Dealing with parking problems entails paperwork and it is a fact of life that the police do not like paperwork. It is also a sad fact of life that most drivers treat parking regulations as an annoyance to be ignored. Any parent will be able to recount numerous horror stories of blocked pavements and near misses from vehicles cutting corners. Pedestrian zones are always treated as short cuts, free parking or somewhere to pull into while using a cash point or collecting a Big Mac. Any fading in yellow lines is looked upon as an excuse to ignore them and squeal about the legal technicality of incomplete lines if caught. One of the weakest excuses I ever heard for parking on the pavement on a corner was, " where else can I park to visit my 80 year old mother".

    Probably the deciding factor in reluctance to deal with these issues is that, once you start there will be another 50 yards down the road, then another and another.
