When it comes to parking tickets there are around 40 reasons for you to be issued with a parking ticket.
One of the most likely reasons for motorists to receive a parking ticket, particularly when it comes to parking in London, is when your vehicle is parked on a yellow line.

On the face of it there seems to be a few exemptions which allow parking on yellow lines, but when you scrutinise the exceptions there are actually few other than displaying a disabled person’s badge. If you have a blue badge then you are able to wait on a yellow line (if there is no sign showing loading restrictions) for up to three hours.

Yellow line parking exemptions include:

- If a person is loading or unloading a vehicle or picking up another person. However, this should only take a
few minutes.

- Emergency vehicles such as ambulances are exempt.

- Local authority vehicles who are exercising statutory power are exempt.

- Vehicles that need to be filled with petrol, oil, air or water in an emergency are exempt.

- When a vehicle has broken down and it is beyond the driver’s control is exempt.

- A vehicle which is removing or deterring the obstruction to traffic is exempt.

-A vehicle that has been ordered to wait there by a police constable in uniform or a vehicle that has a permit from the council is exempt.
