New parking penalty being considered in San Fernando .......the barnacle

[wickedtuna]

AN ALTERNATIVE to the towing service is being considered for the City of San Fernando.

Instead of returning and being unable to find their cars, drivers may now find a yellow object over their windshield. This object obscures the driver’s vision and he or she will have to pay to have it removed

So why this over wheel clamps which is already in effect in a few private places?

[skylinechild]

knowing us Trinidadians

i will await the day when someone installs it on a slightly cracked screen.... motorist tries to remove it....damages the screen.....and then pays to have it removed.....and then claims the unit damages his windscreen..

who is going to prove the screen was damaged before application...??
some sensor on the actual unit

men go apply rain X to their screen or want to coat their glass with liquipel

it comes with siren and ting and a tracker to track it in case someone goes ace ventura style....

Or Allyuh could jus park where you supposed to...

I say try it...Sando people does park dotish

Towing has the advantage of removing obstructing cars from the location though.

[Redman]

THis gives them an option where suitable.....also its faster....and probably cheaper....so the city retains more of the intake...

According to several Googled articles on the Barnacle, the driver is supposed to pay the fine right there on the device by swiping a LINX/Credit card (lol @ wireless payment system in Trinidad), and then return the device to the authorities at some location (LOL you mean the garbage dump). This is going to be a failure even in USA, because you can still drive the vehicle when the Barnacle is on the screen. People will find a way to remove it, it's 2x 700lbs suction cups.



But somebody family have to get that contract right?

[sMASH]

that is more suited for places with parking meters. dedicated parking spots, where u are only entitled for a specific time to be there. so it would be quite alright if the vehicle remains in the spot. the advantage is that the car isnt subject to damage by the wrecker, and with the electronics, the city can get payment quicker.

in sando, the problem is that parking whether legal or not, tends to congest the roadways, there just isnt enough space in in some places to drive and park. most times, the vehicles are obstructions, so leaving it there isnt acceptable.

the vehicles need to be removed.... and i have been wrecked before in sando.. but i thought i wasnt obstructing, but the wrecker men thought differently.


sando needs a parkade... build one of those, and then there should be no reason to get wrecked.
