Police have issued a fine after a car was found contravening the white line system on the B6521 Main Road in the Nether Padley area of Grindleford yesterday (February 20).

Officers spotted the vehicle while on patrol as a part of the Road Safety priority programme. Following the incident officers said it is illegal to cross a continuous solid white line if the solid line is on your side of the road, except under certain

condition.

The fine for crossing double white lines where the line nearest to you is solid often results in a driving conviction code TS50 – failing to comply with traffic signs (excluding ‘stop’ signs, traffic lights or double white lines) – resulting in

three penalty points and a fine.

A spokesperson for Bakewell, Hathersage and White Peak Villages Police SNT added: “Drivers must not stop or park on a road marked with double white lines, even when a broken white line is on your side of the road, except to pick up or set down

passengers, or to load or unload goods. Failing to comply will result in three penalty points and a fine.”

Is the local magistrates' court now staffed entirely by police officers, including those on the bench?

As intelligent people know (though not May Sun), only a court can hand
out licence endorsements where an offence is denied or mitigated and the
police have never had powers to fine anyone (and neither should they).

May Sun!

Yes! You!

STOP TROLLING!
