May I please ask a serious question?
Today I saw 2 limo`s parked up ,presumably waiting for a job.
Each one was parked on 2 meters . Are they supposed to pay for both meters they are using?

If I was a traffic warden I would ticket both ends just to be on the safe side. :D

If the bays are marked then ANY vehicle will require a ticket for each bay that it occupies. If the bays are not marked then only one ticket is required. In the case stated the limo was on 2 parking meters then I would presume that both meters would require feeding.

thanks grandad.
I assume you mean "pay" for 2 meter`s as it is illegal to "feed" a meter,after the initial payment has been made.

Yes, agreed.

But where do you display the ticket for the rear parking bay, given that most limousines have very dark tinted windows at the rear of these vehicles & the ticket would probably not be seen on the back shelf?

And don't you have to display the parking ticket in the bay (in the vehicle) for which you have bought it?
