I was amazed to see a car with a blue badge showing on the dashboard with that famous ‘yellow ticket’ slapped on the windscreen.

I checked the parking, double yellow line, yes, not a problem, two yellow stripes on pavement, no, not a problem.

Curiosity got the better of me, I had to take a closer look. Valid blue badge, yes, time set, yes (within the limited time) Oh no, the blue badge was facing the wrong way.

How awful that the traffic warden had to re-position his/herself to read it. Stiff neck perhaps?

Does it really matter which way the badge is positioned on the dashboard, as long as it is in clear view and able to be read?
