Must have been a fairly impressive sight... ;) Hopefully none of the observers were also violators... :)
I don't think they were.
This was around the Christian Centre, private property on* campus.
One time I was ticketing there* and someone had a WWJD bumper sticker.
I thought "I know one thing He wouldn't do is park where He doesn't
belong". :)
(* Campus grew after it was built and now sits on a corner of the
campus. They have a few private parking spaces, surrounded by Marshall
parking for deans, VP's, long term employees (min. 25 years), and a few
other big wigs). Visitors were to have a day permit they issued, but a
lot of times others parked there as well.
You write it enough times, and you would memorise it... that being one
of the key tricks to memorising things... ;)
I always told newbies they would soon learn everything about a regular
and they scoffed. A couple of weeks later they knew. :)
Did you time the drivers sitting there legitimately to make sure
they didn't exceed the max...?
I found that a piece of chalk was one of my best tools. I would chalk
the top of a tyre with the time and if unmoved after so long it was
ticketed. If the chalk mark was gone I could only assume the car had
either moved or the person had erased it thus earning a ticket either way.
I used to joke I would love to see a fire truck or ambulance push
those cars out of the way and they would find out why they
couldn't park there.
As a friend of mine used to say, you were only half kidding... ;)
Yep.
