One way street by mistake

Justintime · 12 Jan 2008 at 19:01

Hey guys, bit worried here. Was going up the road (Edmonton Angel) to meet a mate when i took a wrong turn up a one way street and low and behold there was two traffic wardens, or maybe (i hope) parking attendants. Looked like they were writing something though it may not have been me since it looked like it was being done before i turned into the road. I quickly turned and got out of there but am worried that i may be done for this. No tickets or anything and did'nt look like they were paying me no mind but... any advice?

Don't suppose they can prove it?

Run as fast as you can. My uncle did this and he was caught as well, and got sent to be publicly hanged down in Brighton the other weekend, sad state of affairs.

Dont think they can do much anyway.. well not until that new law that hits us on march 31st

Yep don't think you have anything to worry about.

I doubt traffic wardens can do anything about it. Only traffic police. And they would have stopped you.

Wouldn't worry about it.

You're going to jail. Don't drop the soap.

Or if you drop it then don't pick it up, just barter some ciggies for a new one

Don't think you've got too much to worry about in all honesty.

LOL, Look where your going next time and check the road signs, I suggest you refresh your knowledge here - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/index.htm

You have probably been lucky this time. At least you did not meet anyone coming out of the one-way street!

Surely he'd be coming out the right way though?

Real traffic wardens can book a motorist for motoring offences, such as ignoring road signs.
Council employed parking enforcement agents (or whatever they call themselves) cannot.
