Repeat offender

A special meeting outside a primary school's gates to witness the problems of inconsiderate parking by parents and carers whilst dropping their kids off.

The situation was better than expected, and a good number of pupils arrived by bus or walked.

Some cars were parked on the pavements near the school entrance; one parent ran back to his car parked on the pavement. perhaps cos he'd heard someone was taking pictures outside.

Another had parked on the "SCHOOL KEEP CLEAR" warning, with yellow zig-zags, and across the school entrance. Queue 2 traffic enforcement officers arriving on motor scooters. The booking was almost complete when the driver came back to the car and protested 1) there was nowhere else to park (not a justifiable reason & not true); 2) she didn't deserve a ticket cos she got one yesterday.
