What Do I Do If I Get This Job?

......announced today but I wonder if there is any mention of the practice by parking wardens where they issue a ticket, stick it on the windscreen, take a photo of it, then stuff it down under the bonnet as far as they can? This means that the driver is unaware of the ticket until he receives a demand for the full amount, as the 14 day period for payment has elapsed. I know that happens.
Parking companies should not be given access to peoples' data. They should manage their parking in other ways. In my opinion, it's a breach of data protection by the govt for financial gain and should be stopped immediately.
Sorry folks, I don't agree that peoples' details should be for sale. It's a blatant breach of data protection in my opinion. Car parks don't have to be manned for 24 hours. There's always the facility to pay on exit, as happens on toll roads in the US. You just whizz your dosh into the tray, and the barrier rises. I don't know why people tolerate this extortionate system.
Neither have I; I nearly got one when I got lost on my way back from Norwich Cathdral to the car park. I think all car parks should be pay-on-exit; having to guess how long you'll be visiting an attraction is unfair and having a ticket on your windscreen telling a potential thief how long you'll be away is dangerous.
A local town with free car parks introduced charges, put up pay-points & employed wardens. People just stopped going there, for weeks the town was virtually empty & the shopkeepers were up in arms.
Pretty quickly they changed the system - you still have to use the machines but a ticket for "up to 2 hours" is free. Seems to work for most people. And I haven't noticed any wardens on duty or camera surveillance.
