A guy needs to buy a magazine so pops into the newsagent's parking in the bike lane... I mean if it is good enough for a 'Drain Doctor' then he should be allowed to break the law as well. This does not count as loading or unloading.

OK I can see real doctors maybe needing to park in a cycle lane in case of a medical emergency... but a 'Drain Doctor', give me a break! He was there for ages, and this does not count as loading or unloading.

Someone parks in the bike lane and double-yellow on one side in order to run across the road to buy something at the newsagents. This does not count as loading or unloading.

Another builder's van parks across the road from where some work was being done, they stayed there most of the day. This does not count as loading or unloading.

A taxi waiting for around 10 minutes at the Old Parsonage Hotel. This does not count as loading or unloading of passengers.

Some workmen stopped their truck in the bike lane and double-yellow lines all day outside this shop they were working on, so another car decided it was good enough for them as well. This does not count as loading or unloading. (I'll post this twice to get both license plates!) The second license plate is only visible on the full photo, so I've added a second photo which shows it more clearly.

A Fed Ex van parks outside the "Wok 'n Roll", but the driver then walks across the road to make a delivery elsewhere. While stopping on double yellows to make deliveries is legal if there is no where else, parking up on the curb like this is not!

Someone in a posh car decides to pop into the Old Parsonage Hotel, for around 15-20 minutes, but instead of using their parking lot thinks that parking on the bike lane (and double yellow) is good enough for them.

Every day the Old Parsonage hotel receives umpteen deliveries, and all of them without fail double-park on cycle path and double-yellow lines immediately in front of the building. Since this is just next door to our office, I see it several times every day. While loading and unloading is legal like this, it is annoying and antisocial. Especially considering the hotel has a small parking lot and could reserve one of its spaces for delivery vehicles.

This pregnant woman decided it was ok to park in the bike lane (and double yellow) to wait for her friend who was going into a nearby shop. I don't care that she is pregnant, it is no excuse since the pregnancy has nothing to do with the reason she stopped and then decided to sun herself. This does not count as loading/unloading passengers.
