The power is being given to parking attendants who will use their "common sense" when deciding whether a fine should be imposed. Firstly, I don't think I have met a parking attendant who has "common sense" and secondly, I paid for the petrol so I will use it how I bloody well want!
How long before parking attendants will be checking the depth of tread on your tyres, or whether there are any cracks in your windscreen?
Utter, utter wank.
