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 shouldn't have parked at all. It is illegal to park on the pavement unless otherwise stated (as you have found) and the street was too narrow to park on the road. No, you shouldn't have blocked the road, you should have parked elsewhere.

If you contest it you will only end up more out of pocket so I would just pay it and dont do it again lol

You won't incurr any additional charge by contesting the fine as long as you do it in the time limits, always worth a try.
