Here in the UK it has to be said that most of the population are in union when it comes to disliking Traffic Wardens, something to do with them enjoying their job I think. However many councils here in the UK have got another method of catching you parking illegally that is unfair and has several flaws.
Ghost ticketing is when a council will use their CCTV cameras to actually catch someone that is parked illegally and issue them the ticket in that way. One reason that a council is looking to do this is because they are going be making more money from it as a traffic warden can only be at one location at a time, a camera is there 24/7.
Why This Is A Poor idea?
One of the major flaws to this seems to come if the person in the car is disabled? The councils that are already taking part in this have actually already said that it is going to be almost impossible to check to see whether the car has a blue badge on it, well that’s a great one isn’t it. This is not fair at all for the person that is disabled, they then have to go out of their way to cancel the fine.
Crime Prevention?
Surely with all of these cameras looking out for parked cars they are going to be missing crimes that occur. It would be very interesting to see if the crime rates rise because of this.
Fair
Using this method means that it is very hard for people to argue against the ticket as they will not even know they have the ticket until it gets popped through the letterbox. Basically this means that people are going to forget the date and time that this happened, no excuses in mind, not fair is it really.
All of this is not going to help you when looking for bad credit car loans as well as cheap lease cars. Parking tickets do also not help when looking for specific deals like Honda car lease.
