Poole's parking enforcement car also fining vehicles
not parked!
Bournemouth's cam car has already been found fining drivers who did not even
stop:

Now Poole's new cam car is doing the same.
These are just the things we are hearing about, I
wonder how many other things are going on? How many drivers are just paying up
without questioning, because they think that's the easiest option?
"A DRIVING instructor was stunned to receive a £70 fine notice because a pupil
practising reversing around a corner correctly stopped to let a car go past.
While carrying out the manoeuvre, Paul Ware’s pupil stopped on double yellow
lines.
Unfortunately for Paul, the vehicle was a Poole council camera car, and the
resulting snap led to a fixed penalty notice dropping through his letterbox.
But thanks to a separate council slip-up, Paul has been told he won’t have to
pay the fine – because the camera reported the location as Blandford Road and not the correct location of
Catalina Drive."
Not only is this a case of another driver being
fined for illegal parking while he was driving, but the camera car operator
didn't even get the name of the road right! Where do they find the people they
use for these things? And was it on school zigzags, as Cllr Dion said this
camera car would be used for? Of course not.
Is it sinking in yet, Poole Council, why people
think you cannot be trusted with road safety matters?
