Parking ticket

[keyplus90]

I have been issued a parking ticket through the post for parking my car with two wheels on the pavement. That street is too narrow that council has marked lines that you can park with two wheels on the curb. Where I parked that was a gap between two spaces and there were no lines on the footpath. Had I parked completely on the road as there was no yellow line, that would have blocked the road as I said it is a narrow lane. Am I right to block the road instead of being penalized for being considerate in the future. Then ticket was not issued by the attendant, council have installed small cctv cameras in the people's back gardens which obviously drivers think as a private camera. No warning about camera either. Where do I stand?

You have been caught fair and square by the sound of it and where you stand is that you have to pay the fine. it's not any defence to say well i would have blocked the road instead, because you should not either block the road OR park on the pavement where there are no lines allowing you to do so
Anb analogy for what you are saying is that if you hit someone over the head and cracked their skull that your defence would be "well it was worse for me to kill him , and i didn't do that therefore you should let me off"

Being penalized for being considerate to whom? The pedestrians trying to get past your car parked on the pavement? Cars have no business on the pavement.
