As for me I will be several streets away to leave you to do the explaining so make your choice, back off or face the consequences." If these idiots cannot use a minute bit of common sense then I wouldn't even give them an explanation,just press & depart.

I cannot help but wonder had he done so, how long would it actually have taken for the police to arrive? On past performance the Traffic Warden may well have found himself with a nice little bonus that day.
