    I don't know if I'm more disgusted that you are being let off, or that you put an emoticon into a correspondence with the Gardai.

    Why are you disgusted at either?

    What in your opinion was so bad about what I did?

    With regards the :) in the letter? What's wrong with that too? :)

    Well done on the result. They will often fold if you press them hard enough. Common sense should prevail.

    Well done but the smiley horrified me too. Also it's better letter etiquette to address your letter to a person instead of 'Dear sir/madam' unless it is nigh on impossible to get a name. Even then probably Dear Garda Superintendent would be better received.

    It made sense for you to park there.

    As for the blind people I'm sure they are well accustomed to unexpected items on their path and if your diagram is accurate there was plenty of safe space to pass.

    Nice one for you.

    Ah nothing wrong with using a happy face in my opinion, sure I put them in emails to customers and everything hehe. But that's a whole different thread :P

    Cormie good to hear you got off but a word of advice. You only got off through persistance and probably the fact you had parked sensibly although illegaly but hey that's beside the point. My advice to you is not to do it again. Take this as a learning experience and nothing more. Having read most of this thread your intentions again while illegal did have some common sense and it was dealt with by the local Super with common sense. I am sure the Super does not want every van driver following your actions too much.

    Yeah definitely. I surely don't want to be writing any more letters to the same guy anyway, would be taking the piss a bit, this may lead me to parking on double yellows for the allowed 30 minutes and getting a few beeps though. Unless they change the law to allow "sensible" footpath parking for loading :D
