At least you can keep wearing your helmet when issuing tickets. You can go off people you know

So they are now Officers are they , what happened to the title "Traffic Warden" , did the application form ask if you had aspirations for world domination, as round our way they are a right bunch of little Hitlers, whizzing round in smart cars slapping tickets on anything that is not moving.

I guess it depends on the job, I've seen the ones that do drive round with cameras on the cars.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Theres no reason why someone who doesn't drive can't do the job. It's not about driving, its about how and where you park, and for how long. Good luck @classic33 hope you get the job.

Don't see why not, here in Leicester there are now quite a lot of Serving Police (not support officers) on cycles and Paramedics too.

I wish there was ANY kind of parking enforcement in my local area. Traffic Wardens were done away with years ago in the council spending cuts. Police are not interested as parking matters have been de-criminalised across Scotland so it is a civil matter.
The result? Parking anarchy everywhere (apart from Glasgow and Edinburgh where Traffic Wardens are still employed). Yellow lines mean nothing when they are not being enforced. Try getting parked anywhere in our town centre area after 0845 and it is impossible. Office and shop staff park where there is a 30 minute restriction and leave their cars there all day, so that potential customers cannot find a space and take their business elsewhere. Then they complain that businesses are on their knees.
If there are no spaces on the yellow lines, then the pavement is the next option, even if it narrows the road to single file traffic.
Selfish, arrogant, lazy nobbers, the lot of them. Bring back the Wardens, I say. And see how the idle motons like getting £60 tickets once more
.Good luck with the job selection process @classic33 . Get on yer bike and throw those tickets around like confetti! If they don't park illegally, then they won't get tickets. Simple. (Errm; but have some sympathy for the truck and taxi drivers trying to load and offload, but cannot do it legally because of lazy b'stards in cars using the loading facilities. Been there, done that - as an occasional truck/taxi driver

You sir, are a dastardly scoundrel!
How dare you advocate the unjust and cruel persecution of these innocent motorists... it is merely perpetuating the "Jihad" being carried out against them.
